Thankful for a mellow weekend

tmsbanquet2
How was your weekend, lovelies? We had such a mellow, relaxing, and all together lovely one. We didn't accomplish much besides attend the husband's seminary's annual banquet, to which he had been looking forward for months. I don't remember the Mister having been so excited to don a bowtie before. I forgot my camera that evening so all that remains are Instagrams. We had a grand time, particularly since I think it is so funny to see him in his element amidst a whole herd of seminarians who prattle so naturally about theology and philosophy. I am exceedingly thankful for how the Lord is working through the husband's diligent studies. I was especially blessed by his message this Sunday past on how to recognize a real man (of God). That was some good ol' truth for our souls. If ever you're hankering to attend a Sunday service in the Southern California area, you are so welcome to stop by our little church!

  5. We went to the beach on Saturday and to church on Sunday. :) It's great to hear that your husband is so involved with your religion. How to recognize a real man of God? That is so great that the subject is being taught, it's so important. Love your inspiring attitude, you are one lovely lady. Take great care,

You are looking darling there Helen :) I love going to seminars, the people there always seem so smart and always know their part :) Kenneth (my boyfriend) has been going to a few the past months and every time I've accompanied him I've been so proud of him and where his studies are taking him. xo Nikki

  19. So I am thinking your husband is a Pastor of sorts? I listened to some of his talk, reminds me of the Sunday school class I go to at my church. Good for both of you for doing His work, we need more people like you, truth tellers from the heart.

  20. Hi Helen! We met at the banquet; I'm the girl who reads your blog ;) This is proof that I do! Praise the Lord for our seminary men! Hope I see you around again sometime & we can hang out while the fellas talk about all the fun things they're learning in their morning Greek class :)
