Safari Time!

Over the weekend we decided to get away and visit life in other lands...


or not. I just found it very strange to see camels in the middle of the United States that weren't part of a circus or zoo. Kind of cool to see in the middle of nowhere. If you look at the photos, you will be reminded of just how truly strange camels look. And if you take an even longer look, you might even be reminded that God is so awesome He even gave us interesting animals to look at. His creations are wonderful!
As our new life continues, we continue to thank God for all the kids' return to school and the smoothness of it all. I still watch the clock and smile when my family is all together again but my fingernails are completely in tact and I haven't hidden my head under a blanket so there's something to be said for letting God see a person through. Dirk is settling in to his work and keeping busy with the extras of ministry. And I am still putting away a box here and there. The SUPER EXCITING news is that we have visitors coming this weekend!!!!!!! We will head for Cole's football game and then spend the weekend enjoying the gift of family and friends! YAY!!!!!
So, back to the camels, I hope you enjoy this day and appreciate the strange things that sometimes God blesses us with.
