On Friday, my Dad took the day off of work and we all went down to the Cities and went to the play "Robin Hood" at The Children's Theatre. It was an excellent play and we all had a wonderful time. The whole cast was only 5 people, including a one-man band who played about 25 instruments! He was playing 3-5 of them at one time!!! After the play, we all went out to eat at Tony Roma's in the Mall of America. We then went shopping and walked all 3 floors. I was rather sore the next morning from all that walking! Before we left the mall, we stopped at Cinnabon and had a huge Cinnamon roll. It was delicious! Then, we went to Ikea and did some shopping there. We left our house a little after 7 and didn't return until around 7. It was a long day, but we all had a great time together.
Yesterday, we went to "Red Barn MN" and found all sorts of treasures. She only has a sale 3-4 times a year, and after one sale, everything is gone and a whole new inventory is brought in. So, if by chance you happen to visit, buy whatever you like then and there and don't wait, because someone else might buy it!
Today is a quiet day around here as Kristina and I have bad colds. So, a calm day after all that running around is nice. We are going to have Thanksgiving at our house this year and we are expecting 20 people, give or take a few. ;o)
The Lord has really been teaching our family about obeying His voice. He has really convicted me on a lot of things lately, of which I am glad for. Thankfully, I have a loving, supporting family who is always there for me when I am going through certain things in my life. I've been praying for God to give me patience. You better really mean it when you ask for it. God is always faithful to bring situations your way that will test you. Right now in my Bible, I am reading in Joshua. Sometimes when I am reading, I wonder to myself, "When will these Israelite's get it!" Then, the thought pops into my head, "When are YOU going to get it?" The Lord has shown me time and time again, that if you follow His Word, you will be so blessed. Yet if you disobey, there are so many more consequences to follow, than if you surrender you will to His Will.
I hope I have been a blessing to someone since I have started this Blog. I will try to be more faithful in writing. I promise!!! Please, keep me accountable! :D
P.S. We are due to have puppies in about 3 weeks. Hopefully, all goes well :D
P.P.S. I sold my horse. :( I'm sad, but she only went 6 miles down the road and I know she went to a good home.

A bit of wisdom from an otherwise rather foolish man: "Reading maketh a full man, conference [conversation] a ready man, and writing an exact man." So write on, just never at the expense of the other two. :)
