Angela is with her hubby on a business trip in"sin"city Vegas. Angela is miserable with the constant barrage of sexual immorality and advertisements for fornication. But she is glad Shawn is not there alone,and so is he. Anyway,I had to go alone to the small group...I am guessing everything went well. You cant really tell with high school girls,did they "get"it? Or am I a big joke? Not that it really matters as long as I am being obedient to my King,but when someone asks "how did it go?" I don't know how to answer them. Maybe say"Gods word doesn't return void ,but accomplishes His will".

Going camping this weekend,as it will probably be the last opportunity this year,and its going to be very cold and a little wet. This time we are visiting Scales Lake in BOONVILLE. It was a very pretty lake,and if you like to camp primitively then it would be the prefect spot. Looks clean,and there was grass! Hope to do some LEGAL fishing and rent a boat. They have great playgrounds,petting zoo,beach,water slide,volleyball...No one is actually staying with us,but the Becks are going to visit on sat.

Glory is doing great,smart,relatively calm,not getting to big(her parents were on the smaller end),no hair problems,totally house and camper trained. She woke us up Tuesday night at 1:30,she has never done that before...Todd told her NO once,and she waited about 5 mins and barked again,so I got up to find out why. I took her outside and she had the "runs" went 3 places in the yard. Good dog!

Kids are doing well,Emily is reading at third grade level,and Jacob is right on track if not a little ahead reading at a 2nd grade level. Jacob is starting cursive writing and multipication. Emily is working on regrouping addition and subraction problems. Isaac needs lots of prayer!
