Let Freedom Ring - Thirty Shot Thursday

I chose to bend the rules today to pay tribute 

and show those who serve our great nation

30 of the reminders and reasons

I so greatly appreciate

their sacrifices!

To all who serve and to their families,
I thank you for this and so much more!

Owl? - What a hoot!! ... Thirty Word Thursday

While walking through a store in Denver

my son found a little treat for his sisters.  

Understanding their love for having fun,

he bought each of them an egg mold.

32 Years

Dinner in a field

Three great kids

Patience and Love

These Halls

These halls represent our past,

our present and our future.

In these halls 

students have 

built relationships and friendships,

laughed and cried,

fussed and celebrated.

Life’s defined in these halls!

Puppet Sermon - Thirty Word Thursday

The orange hair flopping from side to side

as the puppeteer did her part.

A laugh for those of us watching

combined with a great Sunday lesson

for our youth.

Phone picture quality isn't the best.

Perspective - Thirty Word Thursday

Perspective drives perception

 Perceptions become reality

Reality challenges our emotions

Emotions affect our decisions

Decisions define life and character

Learn to see things differently and live life to its fullest!

OK  ....  A few extra words to describe the importance of this picture.

Two years ago the people in our small Midwest town were able to look beyond their own perceptions and came out in force with a vote to build for the future of our children.  Two weeks ago we hosted our first track meet in over 20 years.  In addition to our sports complex our kids have a new library, classroom upgrades, and a new storm shelter/gymnasium is under construction.

Warm and Happy!

Warm and Happy is the feeling you get being around her!
