Field Trips!!!
On Monday we went to Jaemor Farms with our co-op and went apple pickin' it was beautiful up there with apple trees and mountains.
The kids had a blast! We all went on a hayride, watched a demonstration on how they wash and dry the apples, and had a picnic lunch on the farm with out friends!
This was taken in the apple cooler, boy was it cold!
Each person got to carefully pick 5 apples!
I have never seen so many apples on a tree!
Target practice! The kids through "bad" apples at a target! Jacob actually through an apple through the hole in the black target! What an arm!
Why must he make thoses faces?
Today we went to see "The Ant and the Elephant"
We all enjoyed the performance!
Now we must get ready for a boring day tomorrow!

Revival
Our pastor has been talking about a nation wide revival lately. He said it has been over 150 years since we have had one. No generation alive has experienced one. The longest time that had past between previous national revivals was only 50 years. I pray that this generation can experience a true revival.
Tonight we had a guest speaker, Pastor Vijah, I hope I spelled it correctly, from India. He has a Bible college in India and he trains people to pastor and plant churches in India. He has had 89 graduate and each one is expected to plant 5 churches. The churches do not meet in a building or in a tent but out in open. Most of the time when someone becomes a Christian they are forced out of their homes, families, villages, imprisoned, or beaten and killed. In India the people worship thousands of Gods and Goddesses and the government cannot fathom why people would sacrifice so much for Christ. His organization is often questioned about their money and why they "pay" people to worship Christ. Mr. Vijah explains that they do not pay them their congregation is poor the pastors are poor and they follow Christ because he is the only way to heaven. He asked us to continue praying for his ministry as everyday is a trial but people are willing to loose everything for the one true God.
We wonder why God has left America. What have we sacrificed for God today. Many Americans are not even willing to give up their time to attend a church service or are too prideful to share the gospel with one person. I am just a guilty as the next but it is time for a change. Jesus died on the cross for sins he did not commit. Sins that consume our lives daily. People all over the world are sacrificing their lives, homes, and freedoms for Jesus Christ. We as Americans take our right of religious freedom for granted. This country was founded on the principle of religious freedom. Our ancestors left their homes in order to travel to a new land so that they could worship Jesus freely. There is only one way to heaven. You cannot be good or rich enough to enter, only through the free gift given to us. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and all you have to do is accept that gift.
John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
