Yesterday I went to Evan’s 3rd grade Easter party at St. Patricks School. 

Here they are opening their eggs.

Yesterday Evan and I went to the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens annual festival.  We had a great time, eat some food checked out all of the boths.  We got three new orchids and some new stones/gems for our collection.  

Here we are on the way to the car sitting in a new garden.

What a great tree!

We got this orchid, but broke off the entire stock on the way home.Â
It sucked, but at least we can enjoy it for a little while.

Evan (and Luke) were the first to go into the pool in 2009.  It was a brisk 64 degrees….good thing it was 80 degrees outside with the sun shinning.   They didn’t stay in long. :>

Today I took Evan and Thomas to the Devils Millhopper State Park near our home.  It was Thomas’s first time.  Evan said it was his first time, but it wasn’t.  He has gone several times as a baby and just doesn’t remember it.  They really wanted to climb over the railing and get into the water. lol    - Thomas Herrington, Evan Smith 

Yes, it is true.  Cameron is a teenager!   Tonight we are having 10 boys over for a sleepover and Xbox party.   Several of the boys will be bringing their game consoles and games.   

Pray for me. lol

Here is Cameron & Evan last month in Cedar Key. 

 

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. 

If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. 

Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,  it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 

Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.

For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.

At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. 

So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
