Marriage is an Act of Grace

This is where I spent this past weekend...can you guess?

It's never fun being admitted into the hospital with abdominal pain, but it's always good to experience God's abundant grace as He ministers.  This past week I was ministered to through many friends and family.  Not only through the love and concern they showed me, but the meals that were brought and the way so many reached out to show they cared.  But none could minister to me quite like my beloved, Russ.  It turned out to be a not so major incident and we are thankful that my condition spontaneously repaired itself.  Surgery was not required nor would it have been fun.  But both Russ and I felt so assured in God's protection and covering that we both had enormous peace despite the circumstances.




There are many marriages that are beautiful because of how God works in and through them.  I am blessed.  But the following story shows such an amazing amount of sacrificial love, amazing grace and God glorifying evidence that very few can compare.

Helping With the Trash. A Man's Job?


Dinner Party for NNPA Department

Russ and I hosted his department at our home.  It was a blessing to be able to serve in this way.  I took a few pictures, but forgot the most important ones, PEOPLE!  I forgot to snap a picture as we all sat around, ate and had warm fellowship.  Maybe next time!

Oh, and yesterday was Home Economics Day!  I wish I had taken pictures of Audra chopping and cooking.  Couldn't have done it without these girls.
