8. The Word of God is living. It never a gets old!
9. Today is Jahni Suzanne Tapley’s birthday. Jahni was my college roommate and truly one of the most fun people I have ever had a chance to do life with. I loved my time with Jahni. Distance and life now keeps us apart, but I am so thankful that she is in my life and I am thankful for the time I had with her. 
10. All my plants survived the horrible hail storm and winds.

21. Gary and I are cheerful givers. We love to give!
22. Judah loves to give too. He wants to put all the money he finds into his buddy barrel.
23. Judah and Abby shared a very funny, memorable conversation tonight. She will probably share the conversation at Judah’s wedding one day!

25. Judah and I made it home safely from a late night at church.
