We decided to do a last minute trek to the beach today. My youngest son Drew was sick with a fever so Michelle decided to stay home with him. Alli had a bunch of school to finish her last week (she graduates Friday!), so it was me and Emily, Bailey, and Grace headed to Rehobeth Beach. We had a great time together. It’s pretty cool watching your kids play together. They tried to get me in the water…yeah right…not until about July.

At lunch I asked my kids to share something they had learned about God so far this year. It was cool to hear them express their hearts and to see them be comfortable with it. I need to have more conversations like that. I want to make God part of breaking bread together. I am hungry for him to bleed into every part of our life.

Does anyone else get misty when they watch the commercials honoring our troops? It gets me every time. I rocks me to my core. We are blessed to have the most incredible people giving their all in our Armed Forces. For those of you who have served, I want to say a very heart felt thanks. We have no idea the cost being paid by those in Iraq and Afghanistan right now or the sacrifice of the families that are here waiting. I also think of those working in our V.A hospitals to give our vets the care they desperately need. Thanks for serving our Country!
