You Might be a Redneck…
March 14, 2011
If anyone ever wondered if my family were rednecks, this might clear up the confusion.
My husband, who used to own a wood shop, is no mechanic, that is no secret. What is questionable is what happens when you have a woodworker who needs to fix his farm and garden equipment?
My wonderful husband took some scrap pieces of wood and screwed them together when the handle on his tiller broke, to stabilize it. CONTINUE READING…

Go Fly a Kite
March 13, 2011
My friend Mary had mentioned flying kites the other day which inspired my family to do just that. We headed to the lake. As soon as we arrived at a good private area we spotted “The Eagle”.
It was a blessing to get to see a bald eagle that close and not in flight. CONTINUE READING…

The Eagle!
March 3, 2011
We went to the lake to fly a kite. We drove around a bit to find a good private spot without campers. People were everywhere because it was spring break weekend. I was just about ready to give up, totally frustrated when, against my “better” judgment, Stewart decided to take this little “pig trail” of a road. It looked more like a four-wheeler trail but the Tahoe fit down it so he took it. We ended up at a good private location with a nice sandy beach. As soon as we got out of the car, “Hunny look! An eagle!” Stewart calls out. Sure enough a beautiful eagle landed at the shore where we were. Such a rare and awesome treat GOD blessed us with. Immediately scriptures start flooding my head with references to eagles.
Job 39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? CONTINUE READING…

Old Aldridge Mill Site
February 26, 2011
The name Old Aldridge has been a name that was basically synonymous with the idea of Halloween, haunted houses, and satanic rituals here in Zavalla. I am pretty sure most of it is just ghost stories but I am sure some evil has been done down in the old remains of the saw mill. Whatever the case is, the idea of it all has kept me far from it all my thirty years of living in the small town of Zavalla. That is until today.
We had just finished our Scripture Scavenger Hunt Hike and decided to go have a look at Old Aldridge.
As we walked up to the old mill the huge structures loomed in the distance, visually living up to the idea of ghost town. CONTINUE READING…

Scripture Scavenger Hunt Hike
February 26, 2011
We have been trying to find things to do on the Sabbath that is helpful to keep our life centered around things that give glory to GOD and also for it to be a delight. I believe that we are to keep the Friday to Saturday Sabbath and that if we can do what it says in the following scripture then we will receive the blessing that the Lord promised in that scripture “for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”
Isa 58:13-14 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
We can not think of anything more delightful than hiking and being out in the awesome creation that GOD made for us to enjoy and take care of. We had invited my mom and sister and her kids to come with us on our hike so I wanted to look for something that would help keep it a little more Bible based and maybe help get the kids focused on seeing GOD in nature as we do.
I found on the internet a sight that suggested to have a Scripture Scavenger Hunt. I took a few minutes to adapt it with scriptures of common things we could find on a hike and we were ready.
We all load up into the car and head out to Boykin Springs Lake.
We get our stuff together and begin our hike. CONTINUE READING…
