    I had no idea our little camera would actually capture what we saw the other morning -

    Thankfully, all the kids were up and able to see this.  I had to head to work and got to actually drive into this glorious scene.

    • Notable quotable

    • "Being different is not legalism - legalism is when you try to earn your way to God through your good works - it's just holy living." -Laura Mouro
    • "I think the devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements:
      noise, hurry and crowds . Satan is quite aware of the power of silence."-Jim Elliot

    • "I have learned that God’s silence to my questions is not a door slammed in my face. I may not have the answers—but I do have him."-Dave Dravecky
    • "Sin makes government necessary; sin also makes it necessary that government be limited."-Paul Edwards

    • "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else."-CS Lewis

    • "Being a stay at home Mom is much like recovering from an addiction. An addiction to thinking it's all about me"-Abbey Bertolone

    • "It is better to be without bread in your houses than without Bibles, for the words of God's mouth are and should be to you more than your necessary food. But what will it avail you to have Bibles in your houses, if you do not use them? To have the great things of God's law and gospel written to you, if you count them as a strange thing? You look daily into your shop-books, and perhaps converse much with the news books, and shall your Bibles be thrown by as an almanac out of date?"
      -Matthew Henry

    • Biblical definition of marriage: "...two sinful people pledging to live together with all of their faults, for the rest of their lives"
      -Gary Thomas in Sacred Marriage

    • "The gospel teaches a "new way to be human," which, in reality, is nothing more than returning to the "old way to be human," the way that God had originally ordained before sin. " -Eric Rauch
