Concert at Balsam Lutheran

Saturday night our family was blessed to sing at the Balsam Lutheran Church in Amery WI.
We haven't been doing a lot of singing lately, so it felt good to be out singing as a family again.
Thanks to my brother Justin and my sister Allison for making this post possible!


Miranda getting Allison all nice and pretty.


Laurissa getting her fingers warmed up and ready to go.

Oh Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!


Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.


Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!


For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.


For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens.


Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.


Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!


Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!


Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!


Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns! Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity."


Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
Psalm 96

Our New Horse...

 Hey everyone! Sorry our blog has been abandoned lately...
Due to my camera failing on me, I haven't been able to take any pictures lately.
Thankfully, I was able to buy a new camera, and now hopefully we'll be posting more once again. :-)
For those of you who know us are probably aware that in the last month or so we've gotten a new horse...! Her name is Misty, and she is a palomino quarter horse.






Welcome to our home Misty!

Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
