National Day of Prayer


What an awesome night of prayer and thanksgiving. We went to a different church tonight, to join fellow believers in the National Day of Prayer. There were fire fighters, police, and other law enforcement officers outside before the whole thing began.

Nicholas, Emily and Daniel with Skip Tinagero, our fire fighter neighbor.

Silas presented the colors at the beginning of the service with some other CAP cadets.

It was really neat being able to thank the different law enforcement people for their services, and then to go in and thank God for all HE does in our lives! The worship was amazing, and the prayers were full of the Holy Spirit.

I got reminded tonight, that whether I agree with my government officials in office or not, I am not to talk badly about them. I am to lift them up, encourage them and pray for them. Lord willing, they will one day put their hearts in HIS hands!

I am so thankful we live in a country that still allows us to gather publically and pray to our God freely! Praise HIM!

Tiger loves to sleep - here he is sleeping on a small homemade rug in front of the fireplace.

















Daniel's 3 fish died (Emily gave them to him for his 13th birthday.



















Emily got to walk Chaquita, the Hoppman's miniature horse, when we went to their house.

CAP Summer Encampment Graduation

Above is the beginning of the ceremony.
Silas was called forward for a special award.
Approaching the panel. 
Handed off his flag so he could receive his award - saluting.
The award and a handshake. He won Honor Cadet - the highest award he could get at encampment. It was decided on a points system - points for how they kept their bunks and how they drilled, how they did in athletics, their attitude and helpfulness, etc.
