Patch the Pirate Goes To The Jungle

I just wanted to share a few pictures of the kids doing their play.

There are more but will have to post later.

I came across this really cool "opoly" game. I dislike "opoly" games,
but I was actually excited about trying this one.

Hebrews 11:1

"Now faith is the substance of 

things hoped for, 

the evidence of 

things not seen."

This verse has really meant alot to me the past few days.  I have realized my lack of faith in a situation in our lives.  I realize I need to continue to hope and trust that God will bring about His perfect will.

Long Post

Today is Grace's Birthday! We went to lunch together at a country restaurant in town called "The Two Sister's Pecan House"  They have the best Potatoe Soup and Brisket.  Greg will be cooking her favorite for dinner... Crepe's.  However these are three times the size as the French make, lol.  We are also having Fruit Salad.

We have painted the kitchen and living room.  We still have some touch up work to do and the boarder in the living room, as well as hanging the curtains.

Before...

After...

The picture of the mantle is closest to the actual color.  The curtain is a burnt orange and will be the border will be the same color.  We have dark brown bamboo roman blinds behind it.  You can't see the blue candles in the candelabra too well, but I will be replacing them with white. The kitchen is a pale yellow.  Uhmm.. the paint on the wood trim is white from the previous paint (my little disclaimer, lol).

We went on a trip to Hodges Gardens with some other homeschoolers.

It had been unattended for sometime before it was given to the state.  They are still doing construction in some areas.

Pet Peeve or Biblical Truth

I was looking through a quilting catalog today and came across a beautiful design. You can see it at PineNeedles.com . Here's the problem, the quilt says Faith, Hope and.... Love! The Bible says Charity! I Corinthians 13:13 "And now abideth faith, hope, charity,these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

Charity is love in action. Many people say they love the Lord, but few show charity to him. This verse is important! This goes with...

James 2:20 "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"

James 2:26 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
