2012 In Pictures Part 2

My youngest son became a fan of the great outdoors, he even brought our neighbor in on the action.  Many hours were spend outdoors building forts, clearing woods all of course…covered in camouflage!

Flood of 2012:

Our town suffered much damage from a Tropical Storm in June.  Thankfully, we didn’t receive any damage.  My son took me to investigate:

The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
