Watch out...they May Pop!

Look at this really cool flower that popped open today. I planted a vine along one of the fences last year hoping it would take. After the Hurricane I figured it had no chance, but about two weeks ago we started to notice buds on the vine...all over it. Then this morning when I went to play with the dogs they were not open...again. When I came back this afternoon...look what had popped open.










I think it's beautiful. Don't you love the world God made?

My prayer: God, you did a good job building a home for us. Help me not to screw it up.
Can I hear an AMEN!

We are home!

Thank you all so much for praying for us.
We NEVER felt in any kind of danger. We were treated like Kings and Queens (and Princess') but it is good to be home in our own bed.

My advice to all of you is to consider this trip for yourselves. It opened up the Bible for all of us (Kate was so inquisitive). The scriptures we loved so much before make me cry now as I read them because I've stood where He stood when he spoke them.

The food was fantastic and the views that you will see are more beautiful than I can describe. It is quite something to see the desert blooming as the Bible foretold.

We love you all and now I am going to take another nap :)
Here are a few last pictures to share ;)
Shalom

Pron baptizing me in the Jordan River.
This was a very special, very life altering moment for me.

The last time I was baptized I was probably seven or eight.
