Rom 3:23-24

There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Congratulations Tim and Karly!!!!!!!!!

We had the joy of traveling to Minneapolis to celebrate Scott's cousin Tim marry Karly! It was a beautiful day and a wonderful ceremony. About 20 of Scott's family members stayed in the same hotel, so we had 3 good days with them...sort of a family reunion. Dave and Barb had just arrived home from their mission trip...thank God for their safety. Congratulations Tim and Karly. We look forward to seeing you when you visit Matt in DC. (I'm sorry we don't have a better picture of the two of you...)

Minnesota Fishing Trip

ACTUALLY, we went to Minnesota for Tim and Karly's wedding, but I'm not going to get to all the pictures tonight and we wanted Cousin Matt to get to see the pictures before his big 'trip.' Law and Maisy had their first real fishing trip while we were in Minnesota. They both had fun, although Law was REALLY excited about fishing and all the things he learned in one day. Big thanks to Uncle Bruce and Cousin Matt for spending their entire day with Law and Maisy. They will never forget it. Law has also been asking me to see who could say 'humuhumunukunukuapua'a' the fastest, like Aunt Polly and Matt. It is hilarious! Thank you Dave and Barb for taking pictures for us and for everyone else providing a huge welcome back to the hotel to Law and his bucket of fish. We miss all the Schoemans already!Yes, that is a princess fishing pole!Uncle Bruce and Maisy stop for a picture of the first catch of the day.Law couldn't be happier spending the whole day outside.Matt helps Law with the catch.
Notice Law has the death grip on Matt's arm in case the fish gets him. HA!Uncle Bruce and Matt keeping track of the fish count.

Deuteronomy 10:18

He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing.
