Steven and Linda Or rather Devin and Wesley

This poem reminded me of some boys I know.

His trousers are torn, rolled up to the knee;
A hole in his shirt which he caught on a tree;
But I see a soul for whom Jesus has died,
Clothed in His righteousness, pressed to His side.

I see not labor and hours of prayer
Spent for that freckled-faced naughty boy there,
But I see a Savior with arms open wide,
Waiting in Heaven to take him inside.

I see not freckles, but man fully grown,
A heart filled with God’s Word I’ve carefully sown,
A life speaking forth for the Savior each day,
O Lord, for this boy I most earnestly pray.

I see not his mischief, but energy bent,
Put to the task where the Lord wants it spent;
O God, make this lively, mischievous boy
A power for Thee, to Thy heart great joy.

We had such a nice relaxing weekend with friends. We went over to hang out with Justin & Nadia & the rest of the gang. Got some sun by their pool, went swimming, Devin especially loved the water. We had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant which was yummy, I’m so into ethnic food! Poor Steve can rarely eat American food when out with me. After dinner we watched “The Sentinel”…I’m not even going to try to give a review since I’m horrible with explaining the plot or details of a movie. All I know is that it was suspenseful & entertaining, but nothing enlightening or life-changing (not that I was really expecting it to be). And having a cell phone is a must these days & could save your life, but don’t use it if you’re worried about being tracked, not even for 5 minutes.

I know this doesn’t have anything to do with anything, but here are some scenic pictures from the last 6 months. As you can tell I don’t get around to taking very many, although I do love nature.
