Well you have left me in the dust. I am still working on finishing book 8. I am 2/3 the way through your book and enjoying it very much. Simon really likes your Holy Lens daily devotionals. He thought the one on Shepherd was especially good.

My biggest blessing and most surreal moment was spending Saturday night with Simon trying to deep clean the oven for me while listening to Chopin Piano concerto #1. You just canโ€™t buy that kind of entertainment and the oven looks like new again. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I keep wanting to slow down but Penny leaves clifhangers that need to be resolved! So glad you're enjoying JESUS LIKES YOU! I appreciate that! Thanks, Simon! LOL @ oven cleaning to Chopin ... maybe ZZTop would help him scrub a little harder! Thanks Jennifer and Simon!

Thanks Chris. I regret we did not see the floral gardens, but after that longer-than-expected walk in the nature preserve, we were whipped. Maybe one day we'll go back and just do the gardens. That chapel is inspirational!

Oh okay. What was the giant treehouse-looking chapel called?

My wife and I traveled to Hot Springs a few years ago. Fun trip! I always appreciate your pictures (and the reminder of God's goodness).

Thank you Mike! Glad you enjoyed the pictures... God has blessed us and we so often just overlook the beauty!

That Hot Springs is not too awful far away from me, but I never seem attracted to it. I love that you found the outdoor stuff because thatโ€™s what I love to do and it makes it look like a place I might want to visit again. Those gardens and the church were really fabulous. Thanks for sharing your trip. I enjoyed it.
