Psalm 100

New International Version (NIV)

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

¹ Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
² Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
³ Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
⁵ For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Thank you Jesus for what I could not do in my weakness, you came and gave your life so I could be free, so I could be yours forever...This is the greatest gift! Thank you for my family and the love I never deserved but for your grace! I am forever grateful, your daughter and your bride.

I love you!

Hail, Hail to Old Purdue!

My Mom's Alma Mater Purdue played against Ohio State and whooped them last week so we just had to watch the replay tonight and see the Old Gold and Black win again!

Levi gets into the game!

Park Fun!

This is the look of concentration....we are at the park, with serious fun to be had!

And digging....lots of digging!







And of course, what gets dirty must get washed.....

So it's Bath Time!
