Thanksgiving.

It was a good day. My Housemates and I woke not so early in the morning and made some pies and casaroles, and mash potatos. we watched the thanksgiving day parade on tv. We made phone calls to family members, to say happy thanksgiving, and we were just happy to be spending it together again this year. Along with Ben Martin who had joined us last year for thanksgiving as well. At 1:00 pm we made a trip over to Jeff Yoders place to join his family for thanksgving dinner along with Joni, and about four of her friends. It was a good day. The last event of the evening was a crazy game of charades. I haven't played that in awile. I think we should play that game more often, it challenges people to get out of their comfort zone. Thank you Heavenly father, for good fellowship, for laughter, and food, for a day to just be thankfull for the abundence of blessing that you have laveshed on us through your son Jesus Christ. what grace, what beautiful grace you give. Thank you Jesus!

I love my family, and praise God for giving them to me they are such a good gift. I see my fathers side of the family quite a bit more than my mothers side of the family. The Vela's live three and a half hours away where as the wiesters live thirteen and a half hours away. This past weekend I Had a chance to tag along with my parents to visit the family in Nebraska, for an early Thanksgiving gathering. Kearney Nebraska has grown sense I've been there five years ago, and so have my little cousins. The bad thing about living so far away is that my younger cousins really don't know who I am, in fact they had a hard time remembering my name, I guess most people do anyway, but I guess it would be even harder to remember someone you never see and who is way older then they are. Not as cool because I'm an adult, and far removed from what it is like to be a kid. Well, if anyone knows me they know that I look younger then i am and I'm guessing the reason is that I am a kid a

gentle reminders of his glory on the mountain

This is the nearest I’ve been to the mountains, sense I left them five years ago. One of these days I pray that I will be able to get back there. Just to remember and see the place again, a place I stayed so long. I want to visit my family there, let them know that I have not forgotten them, Mel, Ken, Mary, Chris, Monica, Kara and Angelina. I can hardly remember what they looked like. Like the former self they have faded into my memory. Is there a danger in forgetting what was? If we forget will we not fall back into what we were before? But no, you have never let me go, have you Lord? I see too where you have brought me. When I think that I have forgotten the chains that I used to ware, He gently reminds me and leads me further into his arms of grace. How rich I am in you God, how good you are to me. I am worthy only through Jesus Christ and He is the way the truth and the life. The mountain of God is closer to Him, and there is part of me that knows His presents is where I alway

science

On Wednesday evenings, we gather a group of who ever wants to join us for a discovery channel show called mythbusters, it's mostly a bunch of souped up science experiments and explosions. Great show! This evening, we did our own science experiment we saw it on mythbusters at the end of the summer. We wanted to see how high diet coke would really go when you stick mentos in it. we can attest to a definite diet coke launch of about 15 feet into the air . try this one at home, just wear rain gear, if you are the dispenser of the mentos into the diet coke bottle and run away quickly. Have fun!

He desires to know what I think and feel.

The kind of man that I want to marry, will respect and value my thoughts and feelings about life, and just stuff. I know, that at times he won't meet that need and I know that I won't always meet his needs the way they should be met, but here's the thing, If we are both pursuing God we can know that He is the one who is going to meet all our needs. I can know that the man that I am married too is not perfect yet, and that God is still working to create the man that he intended. what does it mean for husbands to respect their wives, I think it means, that before they make decisions about things, they should consider what God might be saying to her about the event, or situation. What does it mean for wives to submit and respect their husband, well I am not entirely sure but, maybe part of submit and respect for husbands is letting them know by your actions that you trust Him to make the final call, and in that you submit your will to his, or the truth is when this happens and
