Facing the Giants

I know many of you are thinking, Danna has blogged two times in the past week. It is true. Close you mouth and read on.

I wanted to share with all of you how much I enjoyed watching the movie "Facing the Giants". It is a WONDERFUL movie. Shannon and I bought it and have watched it 4-5 times in the past few days. I thought it was a movie all about football, however it hit on a subject that I once had to work through and face my giants. If you haven't seen the movie please go and watch it. The acting is some what lacking, however the point that the movie makes is life changing. I don't want to give away the movie so I will stop there, however it is a great movie with a powerful meaning.

Well, Mindy and her family of 5 came to visit today and I was so happy they did. I have missed talking to her in person and seeing the family. Travis played with Bonnie and Brennen and Katrina and Karissa sat at the adult table and talked with me and Mindy. Of course Shannon and Gary sat in the living room watching sports and talking in between. I have really missed them. Thank you God for making everything work out to let my family visit.

Well until next time. I will be back from Tulsa Workshop then so I will have tons to talk about.

What's new!

So much has gone on here at the Jackson home. I'm sure you read about some of it on Shannnon's blog, however, here's more.

A few weeks ago while Shannon was in Lubbock for a class, I spent the week with my parents. We shopped 4 out of 5 days, I only had to cook one meal that week, and my mom and dad loved spending time with the kids. We came home and I had to start cooking and cleaning and all the things I love to do around the house.

Since then, we have relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful weather we are having here in Texas. I have to say that now, because soon it will be to hot. Bonnie and Brennen are playing outside and really learning to love each other and play well together. Bonnie has always been the outgoing and "bossy" big sister, however Brennen is coming into his own personality and now they have to learn to get along peacefully. They both take turns to be the "boss".

The church is doing well, I know this year is going to be a big one. God is doing wonderful things here for our congregation. We have hurt together and we have loved together and we are growing stronger together as a family.

Have a great spring everyone!!!!
