Ruby Tuesday
Click on badge to view other participants
This past week-end found us taking the youngest granddaughter to her soccer tournament in Tulsa, well actually Sand Springs, Ok. One of our opponents were in all red uniforms, so it made a perfect Ruby Tuesday photo opportunity. These girls are 9-10 years of age. They are just beginning to show some real soccer skills and teamwork at this age.
We won this match 2-0, which was a bit of an upset. The other team was much bigger and I believe most of their girls were at the older end of the age bracket. Tulsa soccer clubs are usually very good, so it was a big deal to beat one of their clubs.
The granddaughter is not in any of these photos. These just happen to be what I picked out for Ruby Tuesday. I've got other captures of her that I will share later. Happy Ruby Tuesday all.

Skywatch Friday Thoughts and More

I am reminded that there is a place prepared for me and it is far beyond my imagination. My Creator, Savior, and Heavenly Father have prepared it for me. As beautiful as the grounds of the Rose Garden are, they will pale in comparison to that place that I will spend eternity. For that reason, I don't want to get adjusted to this world. The Gaithers say it much better than I. Enjoy and have a blessed week-end.

Ruby Tuesday

Late October Knock-out.
We had a very wet Spring in Northwest Arkansas. Then we had a very long, hot, dry Summer. I would not pretend to imply that our Summer was a brutal as our neighbors to the south in Texas, but it was still a very tough summer on the plants. I have lost several shrubs. However, the Knock-out roses seemed to have survived quite nicely and are blooming more profusely now than ever before. We've had two frosts and I believe that the first hard freeze in just around the corner, so, I'll be pruning these hardy little bushes for the winter very soon. Still, when I came home from work the other evening I just thought that a final photo shoot was in order. This capture turned out to be my favorite gem of the the group. Happy Ruby Tuesday all.

2011 Blog Blast For Peace
What exactly makes for peace and why should we pursue it. It's such a simple word. Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, whether it be personal or international. Peace is not simply tolerance of others, regardless of their beliefs, behavior, or attitudes. In order to have peace on a grand scale, it is necessary to have peace on a personal level. Peace cannot be found in wealth. It cannot be found in power. It cannot be found in pleasure. Our world is filled with miserable people who have tried to find peace in all of these things. True peace comes from our Creator. However, we must seek it out. Again, the world is filled with miserable people who thought that merely labeling themselves as Christians would bring peace into their lives. We are not promised wealth. We are not promised power. We are not promised a life filled with pleasure. We are promised that the God who created us and sent His Son to die on a cross for our sins, will give us peace in the midst of our surroundings. Regardless of our position in life and the circumstances we find ourselves in, if we can look to God Almighty and truly say, "It Is Well With My Soul", then we have found peace. May you and yours find peace. Enjoy.
