Cicada Killer... 2.5 inches long

Killer Wasps

I ran across this monster in Indiana, while visiting some supporters and family.

Now… not all of you know that I am deathly allergic to bees.  So, when I saw this mean machine flying at my head… I about jumped out of my pants.

Screaming like a little girl, I ran into the house to peak at this awesome creature.

After some study on the internet, I found that this BEAST is no threat at all to mankind… especially me! They are only after one thing… CICADAS.

It is amazing how fear leaves you when you learn TRUTH.  I quickly applied this principle to my christian life as we make preparations to move to Southeast Asia.  I have been gripped with fear at times, until I am reminded in Scripture that God will never leave us nor forsake us… His love surpasses the county line, the state line, and the country you choose to call home.

Smokey Mountains

As the years move along, and we grow together as a family, I find it is pointless to have a child pose for a picture!

You want to remember your kids as who they were while they growing up right?  My advice… don’t make them stand still… you get more of there personality and original smile.

Here we are in the Smokey Mountains… before crossing the TN-NC state line.  We were coming from the west end of TN.  We had spent a day or two with some of our supporters.  Great folks.  This was a beautiful site.  I just need to figure out how to get Darlene’s finger nails out of the arm rest.  The ride up didn’t have any guard rails and I am known to swerve around a bit.

Have an AWESOME day.
