Faithful Work Is Worth It--Psalm 126:6 ESV

He who goes out weeping,
   bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
   bringing his sheaves with him.

Almost There!

Here are the official birthday shots for the leader of our pack--who's almost to double digits and perilously close to being more of a young man than a child.  He still has plenty of growing left to do (and we still need to do plenty of teaching and training), but we are enjoying watching how God is shaping him and catching glimpses of what is to come.

Two Lives, One Lord

"The real solution is to subordinate both the life of the mind and the life of the gut to Scripture. Not the passions to the mind, or the mind to the passions, but both to Christ. This will prevent us pretending that some Moulin Rouge orgy has anything to do with Christ's great feast. It will also, God be thanked, prevent us from thinking that a weekly prayer meeting at the prune factory has anything to do with His glorious banquet either."

Cael in Context

Of all the different types of shots Ruthanne did that day, I think the 

ones of the sibling group are my favorite. Everybody was (and is) 

excited to show the new guy the ropes!

1 Corinthians 10:13--No Special Cases

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Little Bitty Cael Man

Hard to believe this guy is now 
seven months old.  

Ruthanne took these shots when he was 
only about two weeks new.
