The Three Wise Men . . .

While taking down the Christmas tree today, I noticed that Matt had three super glittery nutcracker ornaments.  I had Micah take a picture of them - just to annoy Matt while he was at work!  

I'm not quite sure - do you see three wise men (as Micah called them) or three stooges? 

More Dog Tales!

It turns out that our nephew's nine month old yellow lab wasn't really excited about being outside in the cold either!  Unlike Annie, Bo's teeth didn't chatter!  No, he snuck back into the house while no one was home and left a message of mass destruction . . .

Thankful Thursday!

This past fall I did the Bible study, "Armor of God", by Priscilla Shirer.  One of the verses from that study that really impacted me was 2 Corinthians 10:4-5:

⁴ The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. ⁵ We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Imagine what would happen if we were to take EVERY thought captive to make it obedient to Christ!  That is my 2017 New Year's resolution.  As my one hour meeting at work stretched into two and a half hours this morning, I was able to take many thoughts captive!  For that I am thankful . . .

Too Cold?

That is the question of the week - when is it too cold to take the dog running?  After all, Annie is a lab-wanna-be!   We cut back to only two miles this morning as the wind chill was -26*F with air temp hovering at -6*F.  She did great until we got to the front door.  Then I heard the cutest sound ever - her little teeth were chattering!

What does the fox say?

These two have been hanging around the neighborhood today 

and we have yet to hear what the fox says!
