Summer Fun

Darrin's daughters Morgan (16) and Payton (13) from Florida arrived yesterday. We picked them up from the airport around 4pm or so.

Tomorrow we are off to Six Flags over Georgia. We are heading out around 6am tomorrow morning. Early, yes but it ensures that we will be there at opening time. We are praying that Atlanta has no rain tomorrow. Clouds are okay in fact, preferred by me. :-)

Later this week (weather permitting) we are heading up to the mountains to do some hiking to Abrams Falls and going tubing. The tubing was not my idea but I relented. I am NOT crazy about water and definately not about water that is essentially a creek with creatures and snakes swimming around in it. But, I am going and I AM going to have fun doing it. It will be something new atleast, right??

This morning we did not go to 'traditional' church. Instead, we had a church service here in our home with the girls. We listened to Hillsong for worship, prayed and we read and studied about the Samaritan woman. What I have always found fascinating about this is that Jesus made it a point to travel through Samaria to meet this woman. He made it a point to go where no other Jewish man would go, to speak to a woman that no other Jewish man would have spoke to. Isn't that just like Jesus?? Isn't that awesome that He will travel where so many others do not want to in order to do His fathers work? Morgan and Payton added some good insights into this passage so I am glad that we did this.

Last night we played some games. We played Clue and Scrabble. We always have a lot of fun with Morgan and Payton. They each have their own personalities but both are very funny girls. We never lack for laughter when they are around. Throw me and Darrin in the mix and we are our own regular comedy show!

Have a great week!!
