Wedding Weekend Plus a Surprise!!

It's official! Emily and Wendell are married! Here is a picture of our new family (larger by one) minus Bennie, Amber, and Brooks. We took pictures of everyone but I don't have one of those yet so stay tuned for a complete picture of my crew.

Some of you may have figured out that the wedding didn't take place when it was supposed to. We were planning a wedding for September. About two months ago I got a frantic call from Em saying that we had to move the wedding up a little bit. I'm going to be getting another grandbaby!! Woo Hoo!! She is due on Austin's birthday on October 18th. So we scrambled and found a place to have the wedding and reception and pared down the guest list considerably. It was a small wedding with mostly family. Wen's family came from Chicago, California, and Texas and it was great to finally meet them all. We had a big ole family dinner at our house Friday night and got to know each other and then the wedding was Saturday night. Jimmy's mother had everyone for breakfast this morning on the farm and then they all headed home around 2 o'clock this afternoon. They are one fun bunch!! One of his brothers "tried" to teach me how to "step". Word has it that pictures were taken of that endeavor. Lord help me.

Shortly after they left Emily and Wendell loaded up and headed back to Florida. A wonderful weekend was coming to an end. I love, love, love when they come to visit but as wonderful as that is, it makes the good-byes that much harder. I always cry. I just can't help it. However, before they left today they made a wonderful announcement to us. They are going to look in to moving back up this way!!! No news yet as to when, but at least it's in their plans. I'm thrilled. Now that I know how great having a grandchild is, I was sad to think that I would have one so far away that I wouldn't get to see very often. And now, I won't have to worry about that for long. I'm one happy Momma!

And here is the happy couple!! These were just snapshots taken by family. I should have professional pictures to share in a couple of weeks.

  11. The Jews quarrelled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you do not have life within you.

    Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.

    For my Flesh is true food, and my Blood is true drink.

    Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood remains in me and I in him.

    Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

    This is the bread that came down from heaven.

    Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”


    These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. (John 6:52-59))

  13. WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

    27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew (his) sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.

    28 But Paul shouted out in a loud voice, "Do no harm to yourself; we are all here."

    29 He asked for a light and rushed in and, trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas.

    30 Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

    31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you and your household will be saved."

    32 So they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.

    33 He took them in at that hour of the night and bathed their wounds; then he and all his family were baptized at once. (Acts 16: 27 – 33)

    The truths that have to do with God and the relations between God and men completely surpass the sensible order and demand self-surrender and self-abnegation in order to be put into practice and to influence practical life.

    Now the human intellect, in gaining the knowledge of such truths is hampered both by the activity of the senses and the imagination, and by evil passions arising from original sin.

    Hence men easily persuade themselves in such matters that what they do not wish to believe is false or at least doubtful.

  14. 1 Then the angel showed me the river of life-giving water, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

    2 down the middle of its street. On either side of the river grew the tree of life that produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month; the leaves of the trees serve as medicine for the nations.

    3 Nothing accursed will be found there anymore. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.

    4 They will look upon his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

    5 Night will be no more, nor will they need light from lamp or sun, for the Lord God shall give them light, and they shall reign forever and ever. (Revelation 22:1-5)

Could it be simply me or does it look like some of the comments look like coming from brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting on other online social sites, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post.
