Welcome to FullerTown! (Pop. 6)

By -
Well, we have arrived! Welcome to our world here in FullerTown! It is a small, but very happening town! There is always lots to do, many attractions to experience and never a dull moment! FullerTown is also the headquarters of Glory to God Ministries. Anytime we are in distress we will shout, "Glory to God!" If Daddy is calling at an especially difficult time I will answer, "Glory to God Ministries!" We never want to be guilty of not giving glory to Him who has so richly blessed FullerTown!
We have finally recovered from a mission trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We were there for a week helping Living Hope Community Church hold a Kid's Camp (aka Vacation Bible School). It was very exciting to have 28 travel from Southside to Halifax. There were about 40 children present each night which was huge for Canada! Best of all, seven little children asked Jesus into their hearts!!! I have some pictures to share from the last week since we've been home that I will post later. Here is one from the Canada trip.
Luke & Anna Brooke insisted we take a tour of Halifax Harbour (no, I didn't spell it wrong - every word that ends in 'or' the Canadians add a 'u' in the middle) on Theodore the Tugboat. It was a kid-friendly way for us to tour the harbor. The scenery was beautiful!

Bye-bye for now!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
