Grizzlies Game in Memphis

A few weekends ago when we drove over to Memphis because of the bad storms we got here, Paul's sister took us to a Grizzlies Basketball game. It was the first ever professional basketball game I've ever been to. It was definitely L-O-U-D because it was in the playoffs! Memphis won the game and overall it was an experience of a lifetime. Here are some pictures of my sister-in-law, nephews, Paul and me at the game:

Alabama Tornadoes 2011

We survived the tornadoes that ripped through our town last weekend. I wanted to share some of the photos we took on our way to Memphis. We decided to stay with Paul's sister in Memphis because we didn't have electricity. These pictures were taken in Lawrence County which is near the Mississippi border. It was pretty bad damage!!! The last picture is taken at a local Wal-Mart right before we left...the people were literally standing in long lines trying to get inside!!! It was crazy!!! Here are the photos:

Oh How We Miss Moab!

Paul and I have been depressed lately because we want to go on a vacation so bad. This year because the oil prices are so high, we probably won't be going too far. In fact, we had hoped to go to Michigan or Wisconsin or Minnesota. Nope, reality finally has set in...we just can't afford it, even with a time share. The last big trip we took was to Moab, Utah. Oh how we miss that spectacular place. The desert is an amazing sight to behold. There are so many verses in the Bible pertaining to the desert, too: "The Lord said to Aaron, "Go into the desert to meet Moses." So he met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him." Ex.4:27 "He opened the rock and the water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert." Psalm105:41 "He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs...: Psalm 107:35 "to him who led his people through the desert; His love endures forever." Psalm 136:16
