Lewis Kid's Nerf Dart Game

The Lewis kids have invented their own game of darts with a nerf gun. It is played in the front entry of our house.
The person "it" stands at the front door with the nerf gun and shoots the dart up in the air.

Those not "it" lay on the floor and CAN NOT move. The dart falls to the ground and either hits those laying on the floor Or gets really close.


FUN TIMES with lots of squealing and laughing!

Our October Mantel - Will you Trick or Treat?



Our focus for the month of October is - Will you Trick or Treat.
When looking at relationships and interactions with others, will you TRICK them into doing what you want or will you TREAT them as the Savior would, with truth?


The TRICK side has Psalms 32:2 as a reference. "Blessed is the man... in whose spirit there is no guile." Guile is deceit, impure motives, hidden true intent. Guile in our lives is like the sludge at the bottom of a pond. It is stagnant, stinks and can not promote growth - so we have a pot of slime, green, blue and black (it really is gross - after sitting there all month there is actual mold growing on it.) and dead plants.



The TREAT side has the reference John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." TREAT others with LOVE, honor and respect. Be honest in your dealings with your fellow men. "TREATS" should not be so sugary that they are difficult to swallow. They should be sincere and genuine. Our "labor with all your might" bulbs continue to grow on this side.



May our month of October be filled with TREATS rather than TRICKS!
