BOO!

Mark and I were so blessed this year on Halloween to have the cutest 'lil bumble bee there ever was. I love the antenna headband, but you know that didn't stay on for much longer than it took to get a couple of pictures.

She was fascinated by her wings. They barely lasted the night, but they were just so PRECIOUS on her.

Lucy is the best dog a family could ask for. She puts up with alot and I figure this year she is thinking her Momma has crossed the line. Yes, Lucy was the cutest 'lil dog bumble bee there ever was and just like her sister, she wouldn't keep her headband on either. I really think they had this planned beforehand. What conspirators I have!

Lundyn has been getting so good at walking, but I think she was a little unsure if she could actually do it in her costume.

Until next year, we wish everyone a very buzzy happy Halloween!


'Twas the Night Before Halloween'

We got into the Halloween spirit at our house the night before by carving our pumpkins. We carved 3 pumpkins for Mark's contest at work and then one pumpkin for us. Lundyn got involved in the ooey-gooey cleaning part this year. We put on our "good" pumpkin carving clothes and got to it. Lundyn liked the messy part. We had pumpkin everywhere! Even Lucy got a hold of tasting some of the pumpkin seeds and promptly spit them out of course.

Lundyn couldn't believe the mess Mommy was making!
"Daddy, you've got to see the mess Mommy is making over here! This is great."
Lundyn can be my pumpkin carving assistant anytime!

Election Day Thoughts by Beth Moore

Psalm 118:24
A few things I'm so thankful for on this election day, regardless of the outcome:

*We live in a democracy where we have the right to a vote and a voice. We have the God-given responsibility to use both wisely and in the way that best reflects what God conveys through Scripture.

*God "works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will" and "according to the plan." Ephesians 1:11

*Not only does God work out everything in conformity with His will, He has promised to work out everything for the GOOD of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

*God sets up kings and deposes them and gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. Daniel 2:21

*We, the beautifully diverse family of God, are never - not at any time - powerless. Nor are we ever victims of a system. Believing prayer takes us through doors we'll never be invited to enter and into judges chambers we'll never grace. Take a look back at Genesis 18 once again with astonishment over the dialogue between God and His servant and friend, Abraham. Rejoice that God is ever mindful of a faithful remnant. The Judge of the Earth will always do right.

*Even if persecution should await believers in Christ or harrowing circumstances hound us, God will use hardship to bring unity and purity to a people who need it desperately. The best of circumstances do not always produce the best in the Bride of Christ.

*The living God is firmly established upon His Throne and there at His holy feet we can always find grace and mercy in our time of need.

*No matter what happens today, we are GOD'S elect. He has elected us to show His heart and to walk in His ways in the culture that surrounds us. We are called to walk in the challenging balance of grace and truth.

May we be filled with Christ's Spirit today and our mouths given to praise and to believing, receiving prayer. God IS faithful and He has us firmly in His hand. We will not fear. We will not doubt. We will not hate.

"Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders." Deuteronomy 33:12

I remain your servant,
Beth
