“Tongue control? It will never be achieved unless there is first of all heart and mind control. When any Christian comes to the point of yielding to the Lord in full sincerity, cost what it may control of his thought life, the problem of managing his tongue will be solved, provided that such a surrender goes deeper than the intellect and reaches the emotions and will. For the Bible makes a distinction between mere intellectual knowledge of God and the trust of the heart.”
Frank E. Gaebelein, The Practical Epistle of James: Studies in Applied Christianity (Great Neck, N.Y.: Channel Press, 1955), 80-81.

Matthew’s first formal photo shoot. He just might be on his way to a modeling career.
We took out a large backdrop that had been hidden in the garage and draped it from our second story loft. All the lighting is from the huge sliding glass windows that cover the front half of the room.
He’s wearing a special outfit sent to us by Moma Lynn in Alabama. In some of the photos, he’s holding a very special bear that was made for him at the Build a Bear by his uncle Jared.
Please let us know what is your favorite photo. We want to enter the best photo into the Nikon Coolpix photo contest. The winner receives a $25,000 U.S. saving bond for college. See all the photos in the gallery. Click Here

We stocked up on firewood this winter. $55 for 1/8th a chord of oak wood from the local wood yard.
We figured it would cost us $170 to buy the equivalent amount at the Albertsons grocery store. That’s quite a bit of savings. The wood is much harder to get lit because it’s really dense solid oak. However, once it get’s going, it lasts for quite a while.
Matthew loves the fire. He seems smart enough not to get too close, but we still never leave him alone in the living room when the fire is going.

Somehow we missed his pilot outfit sized for 3-6 months.
It’s a little tight on him and he’ll outgrow it sooner than we would like. He looks really cute in it. There are a few more new photos of him in the gallery.

Our Thanksgiving this year was complete with a concert performance.
We enjoyed a variety of songs from my cousins in 4-part harmony. They sometimes spend their spare time throughout the year getting together around the piano and singing. Most of the songs they sang were classic R&B tunes most people are familiar with.
