Where has the time gone??

Wow! Sorry for the lag in blogging! I feel like nothing has happened and, at the same time, so much is going on!

So here are some pictures of my brothers visit to our house a few weekends ago and my trip to Dallas last week:

My boys are SO handsome!! :)

Our trip to Chuck E Cheese - don't all kids go there?? It's got to be a right of passage or something!

And here's Dallas - my hotel was just two blocks from where JFK was assassinated so I visited the memorial there.

The first picture is the memorial from the back - the sun was too bright to get it from the streetside. The middle picture is in the memorial and has a map and the sequence of events of what happened that day. The last picture marks the spot where the car was when JFK was shot. The depository where Lee Harvey Oswald was staked out was about 1/2 block away. Here is a picture of that:

He was sitting in the second window from the top on the right side (the only square window in that row). The area is so open that it is surprising how bold he was to stake out there. So that was a very interesting part of my trip. I do enjoy seeing the places that make our American history.

Before I go, I have one prayer request. My friend Trisha needs a lot of prayer for herself, her baby on the way (due 12/5), her 2 year old and her husband who has made some pretty devastating choices in the last month. I trust the Lord has a plan for this family and is holding them in His hand, but at the same time it is so hard to watch my friend go through this unthinkable pain and venture into the unknown.

Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. (Isaiah 43:1-3)
