"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." —Psalm 127:3-5

How does your garden grow?

There is never enough time for gardening (sigh). I love flowers and beautiful landscaping. . Thankfully, the Lord made the flowers so pretty that the weeds are mostly ignored :-D My neighbor, Bob Lewis, is responsible for the new landscaping in my yard this year. He has mad-awesome talent!! Now, if I can just keep those darned weeds at bay. But seriously, if you need some landscaping help, I can put you in touch with Bob. He taught me how to use all my garden statues, etc. My neck-of-the-woods is a lot more colorful because of his efforts















Matthew 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Intensity!

The dictionary defines intensity as great energy, strength, concentration, vehemence, etc., as of activity, thought, or feeling. Well, we have had our very short break from soccer and it is gearing up again. And after I just got the soccer-mobile aired out. Those of you who know soccer will know that I am referring to the unique smell of soccer gear! Ewwww...anyway, I am already thinking about sports photography. Look at the "intensity" on the faces of these players!

When people ask me if I get tired of spending so much time and/or my life on the soccer field, my response is "My life is a ball...Kick It!!" I do love it. Mostly, I love my boys! Did I mention that my grandchildren play soccer too? :-)

Boys of Soccer

What do you do when you are at a soccer tournament and you have four hours between games? You take pictures of course!

Thanks to Bailey Butler...


...and Sean Phillips







Of course, my son, Jordan is always a willing/captive subject!
