Foodie Friday 6/27/25

 Hey Friends,

I appreciate you stopping by to visit with us today! I hope you have an amazing Friday. How is it already the end of June?

Over a month ago, we had a very special evening with some dear friends. Somehow, I got busy and forgot to post about it.

I will remedy that today. It is an excellent topic for Foodie Friday. I am getting hungry just thinking about it!

We dearly love Bro. Jared Burris and his family! They have been our friends, more like family, for many many years. God has ordained our friendship with the Burris family!

Throughout the years, we made many memories with them in both California and Ohio. We will forever treasure those memories. They have been with us through good times and rough times!

I am thankful that the Lord sent them to live in Ohio a few years ago. It has been wonderful to see them more often. 

Most of the time it is just a quick hug and a smile at church. It helps knowing we have such fine folks in our corner. They will be there if we just call, and they have proven it. 

We have been talking about getting together for a long time to just fellowship. Both of our families schedules stay so busy. The weather got in the way at least once this winter. Back in May we all decided we just need to make this happen!

The place, date and time were set! We were so excited! My taste buds were ready to taste some yummy Burris food! They are incredible cooks! I know from experience!

When the appointed time rolled around, the fellowship was grand! It was just what our hearts needed. The food was just as fabulous as I imagined it would be!

Mom loves her Grizzly Bear buddy. She missed him! 🤣

Prepare yourselves when you look at the pictures your mouth will start watering! You have been warned. I do not want you to soak your phones, iPads or computers with the saliva

Thanks to Bro. Jared, Sis. Valerie Emily, Nathan, Gunner and Grant for spending your time with us! We love you all so much! 

Food, friends and fellowship, that is a winning combination! Thanks for reading about our excellent visit with the Burris Family!

Sunday Sanity 6/22/25

Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! Thank God for a beautiful day! 

We arrived home in Ohio last night. Thank God for a great travel day! He answered our prayers. The entire trip was excellent!

Here is a nugget I gleaned this week during revival. 

“Salvation came free, but if I am ever going to get to the Kingdom,  it’s gonna cost me everything!”

Thanks for reading.

Revival In Pictures Keswick Iowa 2025

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for stopping by for a visit. I hope you are having a great weekend. Pray for us as we travel home today. 

This week, we had a fabulous time at New Life Fellowship in Keswick, Iowa. We love the sweet people here, and the Lord met us incredibly last night.

Thanks to Pastor John Stringfellow for inviting us to be part of this revival! We are anticipating next year!

Pastor Andy Stringfellow from Ellisville, Mississippi, was the evangelist this week. Bro. Andy preached so well. We sure enjoyed getting to be with Bro Andy and Sis Tina!

This week, we had a big reunion with most of the Stringfellow family! We laughed, reminisced, cried and made new memories. 

I hope you are ready for revival in pictures. Sis. Tina sent me some of these pics. Thank you for the help! I am going to let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
