family

One of my greatest accomplishments is having children (now young adults) that are on their way to becoming successful contributors to society that support the second amendment. Here's a video my son made when I took them shooting this past weekend.

Our vet was kind enough to put her to sleep in our home this afternoon. Makena, our Rhodesian Ridgeback, 9 yrs old, crossed over "the Rainbow Bridge". She'll always be "our puppy" and a mama's dog. 105# of protectress. Her quality of life deteriorated quickly due to the onset of Degenerative...

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat — for he grants sleep to those he loves. Psalm 127:1-2 Often the missing ingredient in a family...

The Best Boneless Chicken Ever!!! (...or so my family says.) THE MARINATE Ingredients: 1 cup vegetable or canola oil 1/2 cup pineapple juice (there will be no pineapple taste in the finished product) 1 Tbsp salt 1 tsp paprika 2 tsp dried basil 2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves...

My uncle raised this boy’s mother since she was about 10 years old, so we always looked as Austin as a cousin. The boy had a heart of gold, and always had a smile on his face. Please keep the Dixon and Roberts family in your thoughts and prayers. Monday night/Tuesday morning was his first...

There has to be more to this story. Surely there was alcohol or previous serious fighting between the family members. The story is poorly written. It says that the boy was killed by his younger brother, but further down it says that the father shot one of the boys. (Kemper is my home county...

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in...

Only posting this is because I am not sure if I am the one with issues or my father. For the past few years, my father has become extremely unsociable and generally rude. He will come to our (or my sisters) house and immediately start complaining. Not just about things laying around or...

I had first stated in another thread I had started that my next purchase would likely be an H&K P30L. I deviated slightly after scouring reviews and comparisons and went with the H&K VP9 due to the smoother and light trigger. I put 30 rounds through it when I got home and I can say I am plenty...

Prayers please guys, got woken up by a phone call from my dad saying my pup didn’t make it through the night and his pup (my pups sister) wasn’t acting right. En route to the emergency vet now, assumption right now is rat poison. This is the second dog we’ve lost this year.

. . . a threefold cord is not quickly broken—Ecclesiastes 4:12 In the family context, building community means building expanded families around our existing, immediate families. These family “expanders” are trusted friends—followers of our King, Jesus Christ—who know us, know our kids (if we...

“Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them. “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth...

Please add my daughter and our unborn grandson to your prayer lists. She has been hurting as of late. Doctor said she is having labor pains and contractions and is only 33-34 weeks along. They gave her a shot of adrenaline ( to help develop the babies lungs) today and something to stop the...

Well I finally got around to scanning in what I could from my recent finds of family history from the paperwork of one of my great uncles who recently passed away. Here's some of the highlights of what I found: A liquor license acceptance letter for my great grandfather's brother to sell wine...

Over the past week I've been finding evidence in paperwork of all kinds of info I didn't know about my mom's grandfather and her side of my family. It started when my parents came back from a memorial to a great uncle who passed away a couple months ago. Instead of the family's Victrola (that...

Managed to snag something I've wanted for a while and but haven't seen many at all. Anyway welcomed an RPK to my collection.

“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:50‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Family life and acceptance are important to each of us. But true kinship does not require a blood relationship. When Jesus spoke to the crowd in Matthew 12, he told them his...

“And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬ In Matthew 3 a man named John burst onto the scene, looking and sounding like Elijah the prophet. According to the Old Testament, that was precisely as it should have been...
