Sunday School Songs & Hymns

First Week at Lone Star Corral
We have had a busy but fun week. We have met lots of people. We have a job just learning everyone’s names. They have it easy. They only have to learn two. We are known as the “new managers” or Ron & Ali (my Texas name :). We arrived at probably the busiest week of…

Sightseeing Around Scottsdale
Our first stop in Scottsdale was the West World to park our motor home. It is a huge equestrian complex. Equestrian sounds so much better than a horse place. We got all checked in and then found where we were supposed to park the motor home. Ron unhooked the Jeep and I jumped into the…

Sunshine!!
Love the sunshine! And the warmth! It always helps me to feel good. But so do good friends, loving family, precious time with little ones and enjoying the many blessings of the Lord. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that God is the one in control and not me. I learned that lesson again…
