A different perspective

I've been looking at things a little differently recently.

Maybe June bugs fly in May...

Maybe May flies don't fly in September but June bugs do fly in May!

Recently

These are some of my favorite recent pictures.

[this flower or thistle, or whatever it is, was going to be mowed, so I took a picture of it before I mowed it]

Pre-EXCEL

God has been so good to me lately. I know He's always good, but lately it's just been really obvious.
I had the opportunity last week of being a team leader for Pre-EXCEL for the third time. More than ever before I realized how much God can do through me if I just let and ask Him. He has an incredible power available to us just for the asking. So many times, I forget and try to do things on my own, even when I've seen God work in my life in the past. But He did remind me how much I need(ed) Him and it was a very awesome conference. Here are some pictures from the week.

[I drove the van to Big Sandy. A good beginning to a good week, although we were a few minutes late for teacher training.]

[Miss Hannah and one of her girls]I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death
. Philippians 3:10

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4
