Our Visit with the Clints
This past week we had the opportunity to visit our friends the Clints in South Carolina for a few days. It was such a great trip! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Chad and Melanie and their kids (our future son-in-laws as Chad and Kenneth like to think). The guys played a little golf, we all played some Wii (for the first time!), we cooked out a couple of times, fireworks (including some fun watching Chad and Kenneth set some off!), swam and enjoyed fellowship with many new and old friends! It was a much needed encouragement and blessing! The Clint kids and the Turner kids had a great time with one another and made some great new memories! Here are a couple of pictures from our visit with the Clints…

The Prodigal God
On the first hearing of this book title by Tim Keller, it kind of made me cringe. Why? The understanding I had of “prodigal” was of the “prodigal son” who left home and foolishly went away from his father and threw away all that he had. How could that mesh with God? Here is the definition of prodigal as written by Tim Keller : “recklessly extravagant, having spent everything.” Which after reading the book and pondering our God, is exactly what He is and did. He spent everything, an extravagant price, to redeem his children. This is such a good book and definitely worth reading. It tells the story of “the two sons” that we have come to know as the parable of “the prodigal son.” But as Keller explains, it is so much more than a story about the son that left and came home. Both brothers were separated from their father and each sought a different way of acceptance. The same is true with each of us. As a believer, I think this was an honest look at my own religious heart that can so often separate me from God. Check it out when you get a chance!
