Where in the World did We Go?

Last week, we went on a family vacation. It was somewhere in the US - a place full of . . .

 . . . CRAZY COWBOYS AND INDIANS . . .

 

 . . . WILD HORSES . . .

 . . . DANGEROUS ANIMALS . . .

 

 . . . AND BRAVE MEN!! 

Where in the world did we go?

Birthdays and Busyness!

This past Saturday and Wednesday, two people in our family turned a year older!! Caleb turned 18, and me . . . well, I guess I'm a 20-something now, because I turned 20 last year. ;-) Which reminds me, I need to update my profile sometime soon. :-)

We are super busy this week, so I will post about the birthdays in more detail as soon as I can! For now here are a couple pictures . . .

Thank you to my friends who dropped off these lovely flowers, and scrumptious cupcake! That was so special! :-)

Caleb acted out as an extra gambler in an independent prodigal-son-type movie that's being made in the area. He especially enjoyed the chance to get "hit" on the head with a club in a "police" bust-in! :-)

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Petition for Asia Bibi - 200 Views Needed!

I am entering this video in the Call For Mercy video contest, but before I can do so, I need 200 views on it! So please view it yourself, and let your friends know about it! I would ask that each person only view it once, so that we can have each view count towards one individual (I'm pretty sure that's how YouTube works)! Thank you!



Now go to www.callformercy.com and SIGN THE PETITION!

Pray for Courageous!

This is copied from the Courageous blog - PLEASE visit the blog every day to keep up on the prayer updates!!

40 Days of Courageous Prayers
Posted on August 22, 2011 by Courageous Blog

Forty days from now, September 30, COURAGEOUS opens in 1,100 theaters across the U.S. … and in Canadian theaters as well!

As with all elements and ministries of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, Courageous is rooted in prayer. With that in mind, we asked Sherwood’s Senior Associate Pastor Stephen Kendrick to create a 40-day prayer guide leading up to the opening of the movie. In addition to the impact this film will have on families, there are also countless elements that go into a movie’s opening for which we would appreciate you joining us in prayer.

In addition to his work as producer and co-writer for Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants, and Flywheel, Stephen also oversees Sherwood’s prayer ministry. So, starting today, August 22, and going each day until September 30, we will have daily prayer updates on this blog. Thanks for joining us on this adventure!

Today’s Key Verse: If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15)

Pray For Families: Pray for God to help people around the world gain a heart of compassion for children and recognize their clear need for strong fathers to lovingly lead their families.

Pray For Courageous: Pray for God to continue opening theatrical doors and help Courageous to be shown in the right places to the right people at the right times.
