Curiosity

About a month ago (for a week or two) Rowan was waking up at 5:00-5:30am and coming down stairs and turning all the lights on and helping himself to snacks and juice box's. It was annoying but hilarious to see what you would find.
On this morning rowan took about 50 pics, starting at 5:36am and going to 6:06am. There we're tons of pics of blobs. Once I downloaded them onto the computer I realized that they we're cats.
Evidence!!!

Cocoon

This pic does not do this cocoon justice. Every time I would zoom in it would get too fuzzy and not look right. It had like this gold laced trim at the top with gold speckles all over the green coloring. Just another amazement at God's creation. And the kids got a lesson on creation witch coincided with their sunday school lessons.

September Canning

Pear Sauce
Spaghetti Sauce
Tomato Juice
Cortland Apple Sauce

I did a lot more canning in september. I am going to freeze some more applesauce next week, and maybe can some pear halves. I am not looking forward to peeling all the pears but the kids and I love to eat pears. And they have really come down in price. When I do more applesauce next week I will be doing it with a friend and teaching her how to do it. But I think that I will buy summer rambo apples, I didn't really love the taste or pink color of the cortlands. Prejudice I know!

My Sis

Today I found out that what I tried to believe in my gut wasn't true. Is! Isn't that one of the worst feelings. Your stomach is all tied up in knots. And you just want to shake it and make it go away but yet God keeps pressing.
Last sunday our dear pastor gave a sermon and he looked straight at me and said "You know right now, there is someone that is on your mind that you want to reach out to." And well the first person to pop into my head was Kerry. He went onto explain that we should try new approach's and Love. God guided me that morning, but I guess I kinda fought it all week cause it's just always the same old with her. And plus I have my family now, and I have to think about the safety issue.
Anyway R found her in a condemed building, gross living conditions. And lots more to the story but I don't need to share. So all day I have been trying to think, and forget that I got this news, and thinking some more. Tonight neal and I prayed together. And my wonderful husband suggested that I should ask around to others and see what type of approach they would take, if they we're in this situation? Cause I just want to go get her, lock her up in a room and fix her, but this has never worked.
So tonight I pray that with all your helpful prayers and suggetions that the light will be shone upon her.

John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
