Just Dance

Caroline and Claire came over today. Since it was going to be 105 again today, we thought about playing some indoor games. We got a new Wii dancing game and everyone enjoyed it, even dad and the boys. The dog (Chip) slept through most of the fun, however.

Feeling Tiny

Being alone with the sky or the sea is a great way to feel tiny and experience the vastness of creation; it is the perfect accompaniment to the personal power of Christ. The demands of discipleship are clearly felt when experiencing both transcendence and the needs of humanity.

Work and Play

Noah and Keith went to Corolla for a visit to the lighthouse. Meanwhile Uncle Ed and Aunt Elizabeth did some beach house cleaning. They really brightened up the place.
