When I look at pictures of my first grandchild, I realize he is no longer a baby. He is an adult! A young adult, but an adult just the same. That's when I feel my "elderliness, old age, oldness" kick in. How can it be that I was telling my oldest daughter (yesterday??) that I was too young to be a grandma! And now he is a Senior! Oh, my! Where have the years gone?
Our pastor back in the early 80's, Brother Robert Ginn, taught from the book of Revelation. I made the comment to Tim that I didn't think Jessica, our oldest (momma to the "young adult") would be old enough to begin school before the Lord would return. And here we are, 30+ years later, and Michael is getting ready to graduate from High School. Some days I really feel old!
It is hard to imagine living 969 years like Methuselah did! Further more, I don't believe I would want to live that long in this wicked world! But, just like every single person who has ever lived, my days are numbered. I cannot do anything to add to those days; the number only God knows.
Jessica took these pictures to count as Michael's Senior pictures. I think they turned out great! I'm not sure if she is finished or will be taking more at a later time.

Saturday, Elisabeth and family came up so Ryan could get some target practice in before he heads to WV with his dad to do some deer hunting next week. So while the boys shot their guns, the girls went shopping. We went to 3 or 4 Goodwills and a Mega Thrift and Hamericks. But before we separated to do our "things" we went to lunch at Real Q here in Wallburg.

We had Mark's "adopted" grandson, Noah staying with us Friday night through Sunday evening. Today we went to lunch at Ilene's. Ilene's granddaughter, Katelyn and her fiancee, Joey stopped by. They ended up playing Monopoly Deal (card game version of Monopoly) with Noah and Mark. Ilene and I just talked and visited together. We spent all afternoon with her, took her to church and then dropped Noah off at home on the way to drop Ilene off at home. We ordered Chinese for dinner.
This will be a busy week.

Would love to have you attend our Revival services if you are able!
Praying you have a wonderful week!
