My mom sent this to me this morning and it's too good not to share. Lots of God's truth in this one, don't you think?  Maybe this is why the beach compels us.  It's vastness, serenity, and dependable nature reminds us of the Father, drawing us upward.

We're finishing our last chapter of The Magician's Nephew in our Unit Study this week. I can't believe how quickly it's passed and how many things we've studied and learned. Maddie and Ty definitely want to keep going with this.

Another busy week of scouts, youth, football conditioning, volunteer work, Bible studies, etc. But there are only 6 weeks of school left. It's amazing to me how quickly this year has flown by. God has been faithful this year (and every year), meeting us at every turn and teaching us to honor him and love him~and one another~more along the way.

P.S. Click on the image and it takes you to a larger picture of it so you can actually read the words.  Good stuff.
