Independence Day 2008

Despite a few showers and overcast skies, we enjoyed a spectacular afternoon/evening with our "T" relatives and Washington/Oregon friends. The food was tasty, and the fireworks display was "stunning." Our son is becoming quite the pyrotechnical expert; however, I'm still not sure if we got quite enough BANG for our buck! I'm pretty sure that I saw a lot of $ going up, up, up in a puff of smoke... Cha-ching!

Philippians 4:4-9

(NIV)

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
