Creation Speaker and Creation Snacks!!

On Friday, Sept. 15th, we had Thomas Bailey, a speaker from Creation Ministries International come to our church. It was a very informative evening about how evolution is impossible. He also showed how the rest of the Bible is very tied to Genesis and that Jesus quoted from there.

Mom arranged for people to bring Creation snacks (The Seven Days of Creation). Below are some pictures. Sorry, some are a bit blurry : ).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone for some “Ocean Punch”?

Genesis 1:1- In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Fishing Trip!

On June 15, we went up to Big River for a Father-son fishing trip with our church. We caught many fish as a group but only kept a few.  The biggest fish caught was about 30 inches and the smallest was about 12 inches (that made it into the boat).

Matthew 13:47-50. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 

Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Winter Activities

This winter we have done a couple activities with family and friends. We have x-country skied and also had a curling evening on Family Day!

Approximately 50 people showed up (not all played, or else it might have gotten a bit busy).

 

Levi, Joshua, and Micah

Our family went on some groomed ski trails north of Duck Lake.

Since it had been warm out most of the snow had melted, but on the trail it was usually pretty good other than when there was grass at the bottom of a big hill!

 

Joshua and I

Psalm 147:16a He giveth snow like wool.

I entered two films into the 3-minute festival. They both were finalists, and Education Without Limits won The Best Documentary award.

 

I will hopefully get a behind the scenes post up soon for A True Witness.

Our New Dog!

On Tuesday we went and got our dog named Hawk. We had to put down our other dog, Brownie, since she left our yard and bit someone. Hawk is a Black Lab cross Border Collie cross German Shepherd.

The official name he came with is Hawk but each person can add their own variation: Hawkey, Hawkley, Hawkeye, etc.

Hawk has a long wet tongue and likes licking! We pray that he will be a good dog for us and for others around us!
