RMBC Youth Service Project

It was a privilege spending the day with these truly wonderful young people. They each have a genuine heart to serve God. They do so with a smile on their face and joy in their hearts. As Papa Bear has said, all Glory goes to God and we get the joy! Thankful for opportunities to serve and glorify our Creator.

It's Been A Good Day ...

We had the best day together. I pray that days like today will live in his memory forever. When he has children of his own, I pray that he will have days like this with his own children.

Homeschool Day - Highland

It was a spectacular fall day for a homeschool field trip to Highland, the home of James Monroe, the 5th president of the United States.

Bible Study & Field Trip

It's a great day for Bible study and then a field trip!

Camp Willow Run - Youth Camp

Griffin went on his first youth retreat this weekend to Camp Willow Run, in North Carolina. It's the first time he's been on a trip like this without one of us with him. Mike and I are very encouraged by his walk with Jesus and we are incredibly proud of the young man he has become. The second picture is from when they returned home. I think it's a very good indication he had a great time!

Picnic At Tucker Park On The River

It was a gorgeous day for a picnic at the park.

Lunch At Five Guys

This guy and I enjoyed lunch out today and we had a nice conversation about school. When I asked him of the five subjects we do, which one is his favorite ~ he said Bible. My heart skipped a beat and in that very moment, I knew THIS is why we do what we do. He enjoys learning and it is fulfilling. Having the opportunity to learn with a faith-based education, Griffin is both intellectually challenged and he is growing in his walk with Jesus Christ. I am SO grateful!

Art History Class

Griffin had Art History class ~ they were busy designing name collages.

Rocky Mountain National Forest Sunset

He is so good to me ~ my sweet husband knows how much I love sunsets. He shared one with me from 11,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains National Forest.

Self Motivated & Art Class

This guy was pretty awesome today! While I was in Bible study, he completed more school work than I assigned. Then we headed to Richmond for his Art History class. He enjoyed today's lesson, the teacher began teaching shading composition. On another note ~ he started calling me Ma today. I'm not really sure how I feel about that.

Putt Putt Golf

A great way to end the day ~ putt-putt golf! I have a deep respect for the work ethic of these young men and our youth leader.
