Spring 2012

Just took these pictures of my beautiful girls.

 

 

 

 

 

Sledding

Last week Emma and I had the oppurtunity to go sledding, then the next day we were blessed with more snow, so Chris took the girls.  They had a blast!

 

 

I added this picture because it shows the beautiful Wasatch Mountains with the tops totally engulfed with clouds.  As tomorrow marks three years we have lived in the Salt Lake Area, I can say I am still in awe every time I glance to the east.

Forgiveness

Chris preached yesterday.  Go to www.sonrisebc.org and click on "Media Archives."  Then select his sermon.  It is titled Forgiveness and was recorded on January 29, 2012.

Sewing Class

Emma and I joined a co-op this quarter and are having a good time.  Emma has always enjoyed sewing with her Grammy and is getting more practice in as she has made two things so far in her sewing class.

Emma made a wrist pin cushion and a sewing needle book.  I am proud of her hard work, determination and patience with the sewing machine.  Her next project will be a bag.  

An Awesome Thing

For AWANA (a Bible Club), Emma had to write a paper as if she was reporting news of an event in the Bible.  I thought I would type it out:

An Awesome Thing
Reporter:  Emma Lane

Emma Lane here in Rome were I just talked to a jailer who has an amazing story.  From Acts 16.  So sir what did you see?
Jailer:  I was sleeping and had a dream.  But it wasn't a dream it was real, in Acts 16:29-31 it reads:  The jailer called for light rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas then he brought them out and asked  "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"  They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved - you and your house hold."
  I then brought them to my house and wash their wounds and fed them.  I almost forgot to tell you, I almost killed myself because I had seen that all the prisoners were gone.  But Paul saved me and said, "Don't harm yourself we are all here."  I was so amazed I rejoiced and got saved that night.  Jesus loves you and wants you to know him, so I say to you, believe on the Lord and you will be saved.
Emma:  Wow!  That's an awesome story.  I'm Emma Lane, live in Rome.
