Happy Birthday Blair & Alex

Blair and Alex celebrated their birthdays this past weekend at the Life Center at Calvary Baptist.  The kids and some of the adults from the youth group showed up for hot dogs and cake.  They played volleyball and had a really fun time.  Then Tessa spent the night with us and went to church with us Saturday morning.  Blair called it one of her best birthdays ever!  That is just cool!

Calvary Baptist Awana Teams

Calvary Baptist took two or three Awana Teams to the Bible Drill in Abilene a couple of weekends ago.  Our boys placed 3rd place and girls took 4th.  These kids were so good!  And SMART!  We were so proud of them!  They left Snyder at 6:30 in the morning and were as pleasant as they could be (the adults were a little grumpy)!  I took a load of little girls in my car and we rewarded them with Starbucks at the end of the day!  Bet the parents loved that!  But what is a trip to Abilene/Lubbock/Anywhere without Starbucks!??!

Gale's Kids

My friend Gale Northcott is now expecting pictures for Mother's Day.  Since she guessed her gift that her daughters decided to give her I am not really worried about posting their shoot.  This was a really fun shoot, the kids were lively and enjoyable.  Thank you Lindsey and Jennifer for letting me play a part in Gales Mother's Day gift!  She's a great lady and I hope she is pleased!

Calvary Baptist Church Valentine Banquet

Calvary Baptist had its annual Valentine Banquet on Valentines Day.  It was a lot of fun.  Jayson Steelman performed songs from his latest CD.  It was very enjoyable again this year.  His music is the kind that has the tempo that makes you want to dance but is Christian lyrics.  It is very enjoyable!  To get a CD go to Big Country Electric.  I think they have a bunch down there. You can call Calvary Baptist also, the funds from the sales of the CD go toward the Calvary Youth Department.

Now He's Just Showin' Off!

Every once in a while God does something pretty surprising for West Texas.  Snow on the ground was one of those times when he surprised me!  He completely transforms this flat land of ours and makes it as foreign to us as heaven will no doubt be.  Thanks God!

My BrainWash with Lauren Clark

Well!?? What do you think?  Lauren Clark is a really good photographer in Lubbock.  She is a beautiful vibrant young woman whose work is just like she is beautiful and vibrant!  For once I was on the other end of the camera as you can see.  That was tough on me.  I had to do the things I am asking my clients to do!  Not easy.  Some of you are laughing saying I deserved it!
The couple in the pictures are from Lubbock their names are Brandy & Noel.  They were a really sweet couple and easy to work with.
Thank you Lauren for your time with me and for cool pictures!  I learned so much and I am ready to try it out on everybody!
