The Premiere

I know it's a bit late but I thought I'd post a few pictures of the Premiere we did on the 9!!!
It was such a touching video, especially for those of us who personally knew Pop and it was really wonderful to have been able to show it at the church where he used pastor!! It brought back such a flood of memories as I walked through the building!!
The video "The Amazing Journey of Pastor Ron" is now available to watch at http://homeschooladvantage.us/Movies/MoviePlayer.cfm?MovieID=41 !!!
Oh, it is so exciting!!! Just this week we have had people from England, the Netherlands, Australia, Jamaica and Mexico as well as cities all across the United States visit our website!! How amazing to think that Daddy's messages and other's that he promotes are affecting people all over the globe!!!

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
Before we showed the movie we sang a few songs, one in particular Pop used to like called "I have something to sing about"
After the showing we went to the down stairs for refreshments and fellowship!I just love this picture of Daddy with his sister!!!Thank you to everyone who brought food!!Maud and Annie and Ronnie a-visiting in the kitchen

Well, Daddy just called and he's almost home so I'd better hop off!!

Have a blessed week!!!

Last night I went outside and the sky was a gorgeous pink color! I thought it was so beautiful I grabbed the camera and tried to get a picture but the settings kept acting up! Any how, here are two of the best pictures that I managed to get! Sorry they don't really do justice to the beauty of our Lords wonderful creation.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

Ps 19:1-2

Griffins 2009 Mayfling

Last Saturday the "Fellowship of the Father Band" had their first formal appearance at the Griffin Mayfling in the city park! I'm not sure why they called it a "May" fling, since it was April but we sure did have a jolly time! The Antonions, Lane's and my dear Grandparents were all able to join us there and then they all came back to the house for a delish lunch of lasagnas and KFC (which seems to be our special food any time people come over!!)
Later on the kiddos' and I went back to the park and saw the ugliest yellowish/white snake that was absolutely ginormous!! Unfortunately we didn't get pics of it but we did get a pic. of another snake (aka snack LOL! sorry, family joke;) that was quite large too!

Resurrection Sunday

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?" But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

Mark 16:1-6

God Bless!

Our Snowy weekend

Yes, I can hardly believe it myself! It actually snowed in Georgia! Mother told me that morning that the currently warm weather was going to give way to some real cold temperatures, and it MIGHT snow, "So dress warmly" she told me ;) Well, me being the smart, obedient daughter that I am I didn't even bother to take a proper coat, or shoes for that matter. Yes, the poor idiot with flip-flops on in the picture below is me;) It was a delightful surprise none-the-less and I did get some pretty shots! We were able to make a decent snowman and we had snow left on our roof for 3 days afterwards! I bet we set a record;)

Melli-O come back for a visit! It was good to see you again!

Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me. Redeem me from the oppression of men, that I may obey your precepts. Make your face shine upon your servant and teach me your decrees. Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed. Righteous are you, O LORD, and your laws are right. The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy. Psalms 119:133-138
