Trip to Jamestown: The Men in Blue



Our Treasure Hunters, the "Men in Blue", picture taken by the short "lady in blue". I am so proud of you guys! "How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! ... For there the LORD bestows his blessing even life forevermore." Psalms 133:1, 3b

A special "Thank you" to our oldest daughter, Amy, who designed and arranged the printing of our shirts. (And made many of our costumes)


For more information about John Nisbet the Martyr, we highly recommend the Douglas Bond series sold by Vision Forum: Duncan's War, King's Arrow, and Rebel's Keep. The books are excellent, even if they had nothing to do with our ancestors. We knew our family heritage, which is one reason we had ordered the books from VF, but the kids were so thrilled when, in book 2, during a dire situation help comes over the hill, and it was John Nisbet. This was particularly thrilling to our 11 year old son, John Nisbett (the family has a little bit of trouble keeping up with their t's .)

After reading what our ancestors endured, we were so honored to share their motto "I Byd it" which means "I Shall Persevere". It is with extreme gratitude that we reflect on the truth that our fathers, grand-fathers, and great-great-great .... grandfathers loved the LORD, served Him with willing hearts and sacrificial lives, and prayed for us, their children. May we be worthy of them.
