The grass withereth and
the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8 (KJV). This verse was in my Bible reading this morning.
It is one of my favorite verses in the Bible, it is such a comfort to
know God is there no matter what, no matter what happens to us, he is
there, our rock, our comfort, and He never changes and never will.
Besides being one of my favorite verses ever, it is very appropriate
in a very literal sense right now. We need rain badly in this area.
My garden doesn't appreciate the cold well water as much as it loves
the rain.
Bob and I went to the
Starvy Creek Bluegrass Festival again this year over the past weekend
and enjoyed it very much. We saw some of our favorite bands and some
that I'm sure will become some more favorites. We saw several people
we knew while we were there. We visited a few minutes with Doug and
Kay Morgan, Matt and Carolyn Wakeley and got to visit with Ken and
Carol Case a while, who were camped out there for the weekend. We
also saw Larry and Dee Clark but didn't get to visit with them. After
you go to a festival several years you make friends with others that
you only see at the festivals each year. We had fun seeing several of
these friends and visiting with them. I would like to sit in on the
jam sessions but since I can't play any instruments it might not work
too well. I can listen real good though!
We had to leave the
bluegrass early on Saturday to get back to Forsyth at Shadowrock Park
where our great grandson, Rylan was having his first birthday party.
Lots of family and friends were there to watch him open presents and
get into his birthday cake. He really got into that cake, he was very
polite at first and was just picking little pieces of frosting off
and eating them, then he got wild and had it smashed all over the
high chair, all over his arms and head. He was a chocolate covered
baby. I think he really enjoyed it.
New Mansion Church had a
big fried chicken/potluck dinner and lots of fireworks last Sunday
night that was well attended. There were bounce houses and water
slides for the kids to play on and sno-cones while waiting for
fireworks time. Our grandkids went and Bob went over later to enjoy
the fireworks with them. I stayed home this time with Bob's mom who
is staying with us off and on. I gave the grandkids a choice if they
wanted Bob or me to be there and they picked Bob. They said he was
better to watch fireworks with.
Ethan Todd turned sixteen
years old on the 4th of July, so we have another driver on
the roads. He is a good driver so there shouldn't be any worries. I
think every parent secretly cheers hooray when their child gets their
driver license, at least I did, because now they can take themselves
back and forth to ball practice, or whatever practice they are
involved in.
Give me a call or e-mail
with your news. Until next time, take care and be blessed.
