What a refreshing time enjoying the unity of fellow believers in a whirlwind of profitable activity! Times of planning, times of work, times of rest, and times of play, but all of them were times of joy. I wish we had pictures of the volleyball and ping pong! What a joy it was also to have the Fleshman family join us! Thank you one and all for pitching in and blessing us with your energy and smiles and voices.

Thanks to the help of many volunteers who helped care for the apple and peach trees in previous months and years, we were blessed with an abundant harvest! The Wilkes and Fleshman families helped us process some of the harvest so that we could enjoy it on many occasions to come. Thank you one and all!

Well, what else is there to say? The title sums up the blessed time  Robert and I spent in OKC earlier this month. From Mrs. Marshall’s enthusiastic greeting at the airport and the hospitality of the Gomezes, Burnetts,  and Prentises, who all opened their homes for us, to the many friends we had a chance to spend time with, it was a very fun, full, fabulous five days! Jessica Fagala and Kerzdenn Kowalchuck’s wedding was a beautiful representation of Christ coming for His church and we were delighted to attend.

We heard some great news while visiting the Burnetts! They have  launched their new family website!!!!! We highly recommend you visit them at http://www.10burnetts.com They have just an exciting weekend at the Peach Festival!

This year the Lord worked it out for many family and friends, even our Aunt Ruth from Florida! to participate in the celebration of our country’s freedom. Here’s some pictures from the great time of fellowship and activities.

Our fathers’ God, to Thee,
Author of liberty, 
To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!

Recently, I heard the following quote, attributed to John Quincy Adams:

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”

Is this true? If so, was it Adams who said it? The upcoming post about this quote will be all the more interesting if you have thought through your answer—just be sure to finish before next Thursday!

For another July 4 Puzzle visit last year’s post here.

One Sunday morning soon after sunrise I stepped outside. What I saw brought a tremendous feeling of awe! The scene reminded me of what it is like to live in God’s presence and have nothing hid from Him. Through His Spirit and His word, God wants to show us the right way. May God bless you today with the joyfulness and peace that come as we quench not the Spirit.
