2025 Verses From Pastor Chad at Cross Assembly...

 

Stella Watching Church....

 

Stella watched church with us yesterday.  Ever since "C" (bad flu) happened and Scot and I have aging parents that we don't want to get sick we've been extra careful about being in crowds.  When you go to church it's near impossible to keep away from catching something or carrying something to someone else.  We love going to church too but I've been able to get more out of the sermons by sitting at my desk with my bible open while listening and taking notes from the sermon.  Added bonus is even though it's live you can press pause and go to the restroom and not miss any of the sermon.  You can press pause so you can have a moment to write down a note before the pastor goes on in his sermon and you miss something.  You can press pause and discuss something the pastor just said that was important with your family.  While I love fellowshipping with other believers I have loved being able to get more out of the Bible teaching too.  Stella rather enjoys it too as you can see in the picture...LOL!   

Our Animals...

At first they didn't like one another and now they are like this:

My Current Situation...

 

The boys are on a project so she’s trying to take over my desk and keep me from working on the computer…LOL! She’s just so darn cute.

My Bible Reading Plan for 2025...

This is the reading plan that I'm doing this year.  I've encouraged my guys to do it with me so that we can do it as a family.  I'd love for Tim to read through the Bible in a year at least once prior to him graduating high school.  Praying he sticks to it and starts off his homeschool day with his bible reading first.  It's what I'm encouraging him to do anyhow.  He's done quite a bit of bible in his homeschool studies but actually reading through the Bible in a year is something I don't think he's done.  He's old enough now and I know that it will be a life changing experience for him to do this.  

Stella's 1st Month...

She is so lovable and spunky. We love when she gets the zoommies because she is all over the downstairs of our house. She loves to snuggle though. When she's not snuggling with us she loves to lay on anything that smells like us. She is such a good kitty. We always said we were a dog family not a cat family but we all fell in love with her when we found her in a shopping center parking lot where she had obviously been dropped. So thankful to Alley Cats and Angels of NC for getting her ready to adopt so that we could take her to her forever home. She was so tiny when we found her which made me really nervous because I know nothing about taking care of animal as tiny as she was. She is such a blessed kitty. We all love her and she and our dog, Tucker, get along great. It took them a couple of weeks to get to know each other but they are totally fine with one another. Can't believe we've had her a month now. Her birthday as far as they can estimate was around Pops birthday in August so she was only about one month old when we found her. I found that poignant seeing as we lost Pop in 2024.
