Young Travelers - Forgiveness


Tonight we talked about forgiveness. I love this one because we can use the horses to help illustrate. And the weather finally cooperated, so we were able to go to the barn and work with the horses. The kids learned how to groom and saddle. We also showed them a few things to look for on the horses with regards to the health and behavior of the horses. Horses are known to be very forgiving, so I was glad we were finally able to use them to talk about forgiveness. We have one more week with this group. We are really getting to know them and enjoy spending time with them.

Charity Benefit


Wow, did we have a great time, or what??? Last Saturday's benefit was a blast. Everyone had a great time and God truly blessed us. When you look at the pictures, you will see a lot of smiling faces. This year's benefit was even better. Our ranch youth participated in most of it. We were so proud of them. They are amazing kids and every time we are together, I grow to love and respect them even more.
The skits were hilarious and every time we practiced with them, I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks to Jenny Scoby for making sure the kitchen was organized so we all could enjoy a great meal together. The music was awesome. What a Band,What a Band did a great job as usual. Chip's version of "Let it Be" (Lazy B's) is always fun to listen to because he changes the words every time to fit the moment. That is talent!! Thanks Chip, we love you!! Weren't Taylor and Larry wonderful? I can't wait to see what happens with Taylor's gift of music. Chris thought Randy Travis was in the house after Larry was finished. Our hats go off to you Taylor and Larry! I love our string illustration. We cannot do anything without all of you! Thanks so much for your prayers and support. Take a look at the pictures by clicking the link to the right called Charity Benefit. Thanks to Bill Latocki for capturing the event on film!
