The Lights

The Curetons

The Hickles

The Moshers (minus Marsha)

the Browns

The Martins (Janessa gets two families!)

The Davidsons

The Quakkelaars

The Riefers

The Rackers

The Nisbetts

The Ymkers (and the weapons that Derek made!)

The Cantys

DRAMA ON THE DECK!

Anna and Nathanael put together a small theatrical production on the back porch, and Glory had her premier role.

The audience is a little cold.

A BEAUTIFUL WORLDVIEW

This was posted on one of my favorite blogs (which I highly recommend) by one of my favorite people:

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish or ulterior motives -
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies -
Suceed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you -
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight -
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may not be enough
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see in the final analysis, it is between you and God -
It was never between you and them anyway.

--Mother Teresa
