Summer 2018


Here are some random pictures from this summer that I thought I would share...
This is one of the churches in Reno downtown right on the river.  I have always liked this building!  I took it when we took the girls to see Incredibles 2.






An amazing sunset on the way home from a wedding one Saturday.


In the summer, we have a Welcome Tent outside.  This is Reagan and Summer greeting people with a smile.


Lucy and Sierra


This summer, they also redid the streets in our neighborhood.  Holy cow that was not fun. LOL!  They got pretty messy!


Dressed up to go to Chick-Fil-A for their Cow Appreciation Day!



Those streets though!!



Worship practice before our services.  Addie at the piano filling in for Jenny.  Proud of her!






Some of my flowers and veggies from my garden.




This was a peanut butter banana trifle I made for a dinner we had at our home.  Yummy!


A shooting activity the men of the church had.


Sierra and Summer actually getting along!  Ha!!


This is one of our smoky days.  Well, actually, weeks.  We had a lot of fires this season.  You can barely see the outline of the mountain here.


A smoky sunrise.


Smoky downtown Reno.


This one cracked me up - this is our dog, Belle.  LOL!  She's such a comfort dog.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
