Galatians 6:4 NLT

Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else.

What a great reminder. Thanks God.

4th of July Weekend

The annual family 4th of July weekend is over -- back to the real world. We always have a great time, with all the friends and family that make their way out to the Grand Lake with us.

Here is Kai having a good time with his Grandma.


And Mac tearin' it up on the tube with her uncle Justin, cousin Lex, and friend Selah.


Addie and Mac and Lex built towering structures with colored blocks.


Jennie and the kids coated the world in beautiful and plentiful bubbles.


We saw some pretty amazing planes flying low and right over the top of us, then the celebration began with a spectacular fireworks show.
