Happy Birthday to Bronson and Brody - Festival of Trees

Some of Bronson' friends came and decorated the car.  They did a great job.  Todd scared them when he was taking the garbage out on Thursday night.

 Bronson didn't think he could drive it to school and was going to have to go wash it.  But he braved the storm and it wasn't that bad.

 The inside was filled with balloons.

 At school the football team was honored.  I didn't get a very good picture, I got one that was actually a 1 sec video them my phone quit.

 Hugh got baptized on Saturday, this is the pillow case Miriah and made for him.  Miriah wants a sewing machine for Christmas so she doesn't have to share with me. 

 Saturday Morning I tried to have a surprise birthday breakfast for Bronson, but it was the all nighter at the high school, so we didn't get to many friends at 8:30 in the morning.  I should of done it at 3 am when they all were going home.

 He had his Besties come  Bo, his girl friend, Lennon and Maggie

 Dad doing the dishes again.

  Sneek peak of Brady and Crystal,  They got some bridal pictures take.  Brady had to do the first look, which was awkward.  He didn't really like how the one picture turned out. It wasn't real. 

Festival of Trees - Aunt Collette's tree was amazing once again.  Wise Men Still Seek Him! 

 Miriah and Knox, had fun hanging out together.

 This is one of the gingerbread house we seen when we took Knox on a walk, He was so tired.  It did the trick since he went to sleep.

 All of Collette's helpers except for Morgan and me, and Shelly is still working in the back ground.

And of course Shane and Colton who put up the tree, and left.

                                       

Happy Birthday to Brody, Sunday the 6th,

I need pictures from him.

The amazing story of Charles Blondin, a famous French tightrope walker, is a wonderful illustration of what true faith is.

Blondin's greatest fame came on September 14, 1860, when he became the first person to cross a tightrope stretched 11,000 feet (over a quarter of a mile) across the mighty Niagara Falls. People from both Canada and America came from miles away to see this great feat.

He walked across, 160 feet above the falls, several times... each time with a different daring feat - once in a sack, on stilts, on a bicycle, in the dark, and blindfolded. One time he even carried a stove and cooked an omelet in the middle of the rope!

A large crowd gathered and the buzz of excitement ran along both sides of the river bank. The crowd “Oohed and Aahed!” as Blondin carefully walked across - one dangerous step after another - pushing a wheelbarrow holding a sack of potatoes.

Then a one point, he asked for the participation of a volunteer. Upon reaching the other side, the crowd's applause was louder than the roar of the falls!

Blondin suddenly stopped and addressed his audience: "Do you believe I can carry a person across in this wheelbarrow?"

The crowd enthusiastically yelled, "Yes! You are the greatest tightrope walker in the world. We believe!"

"Okay," said Blondin, "Who wants to get into the wheelbarrow."

As far as the Blondin story goes, no one did at the time!

This unique story illustrates a real life picture of what faith actually is. The crowd watched these daring feats. They said they believed. But... their actions proved they truly did not believe.

Similarly, it is one thing for us to say we believe in God. However, it's true faith when we believe God and put our faith and trust in His Son, Jesus Christ.
