andrew's back with more devotions! ;D

Andrew's devotional for today: READ ROMANS 6:1-4

" Dead to sin, and Alive in Christ! This verse fills me with so much joy because it tells me that we are not alive in sin, but alive in, and we are free from all sin :) "

Romans 6

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

¹What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? ²By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? ³Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

A story, quietness, death of a slipper and camp!

Once upon a time... there were kids that actually loved their picture taken before they grew up and didn't want mom to take them any more. One day.... while playing badminton in the yard... Kevon and Ryan stopped to do their tough guy wrestling poses for the camera... while daughter Tara, riding her bike in the road, waved happily to the camera! What a beautiful life. The end.

no pics... no kids. quiet at the Black household. It is actually kind of nice! I would rather have snugglie, laughing kids around.. but sometimes it is nice just me and my love. Yesterday morning I took mom to WalMart. We got some stuff and when I put her in the van she wasn't feeling well at all. I had bought her a cold water and opened the windows quickly. Loaded the groceries and stopped to get her some food. I think part of it was because she hadn't eaten much breakfast. Once we got to her apartment she was feeling so much better! I was glad... she was really glad.

Came home.... papa washed the van and then we went and bought him shoes and slippers. It went rather quickly and easily. Usually it is awful to go with him... but he found them quickly. He just couldn't wear his old slippers anymore. Maddie laughed when she saw his feet in his slippers! I am hoping his knees, hips, and back feels better with his new shoes.

Got home again and I took a nap. Papa made burgers for dinner and we had such a great night together!!!

Got to get ready for church and that is all we've planned for today. Much different than last weekend! lol!

I know you've been praying, wondering and asking about the boys at camp. Andrew called last night and we talked about camp! He loved it, of course! He learned so much about himself and the Lord. He got closer than ever to Him. So many things touched his heart. Plus they had fun singing, jet skiing and swimming etc... Just got off the phone with Parker... he loved it too and can't wait to go back next year! Parker's idea of fun was different than Andrew's. He made lots of friends from Bayside and CMC that like Pokeman too! His favorite part was swimming and stuff... God is so good! Thank you for praying for these young men!

Guess I will close and get us ready for church! Have a beautiful sunny Sunday! xoxo

all about the breakfast...

We went to breakfast with some of our favorite people yesterday!! Heather, Tara and their kids! It was fun.... papa and I took the middle chairs from the moms so we could be by more grandkids! It was good service, good food, and fun! Jared loved his hot chocolate until he got carried away with the water glass. lol
Joshua just gets carried away period.
Here is our dainty Riley girl...
And Jordy and patrick!
Dylan just drank water.
After breakfast I took a few pictures. I wish Heather lived closer.

When I went to get a decent picture of these people... Tara gets cranky, Lanny gets goofy and Heather does good. I literally yell at Papa! Doesn't help. lol

We picked up mom and took her to her last iron infusion treatment. She seems so fragile to me.
Gotta get off here because I am taking her grocery shopping this morning. Enjoy your day. Please pray for a dear girl, Rachel, who is sooo sick with pnemonia! She needs a divine healing!
