~ Crack-About… and How to Play ~ W elcome to the description and explanation of one of our family's most favorite outdoor games. A relative to the well-known "Dodge-Ball", this sport brings quite a bit of 'spice', excitement, action, and competition to those who dare to engage in such a thrilling activity. Objective: The object of the game is to be the last one still "in" by using the ball much like you would in dodge-ball to "tag" everyone else out. The person who is the last one left on the field/"in-zone" after everyone else is out is declared the winner. Playing Rules:                                                                                   1.) There must be definite playing boundaries  large enough to accom- modate the playing group, yet small enough to keep everyone fairly together. Example: For a group of 10 grown people a 50-by-50 size lot would be advisable... although it depends much on t

 Happy Birthday Mama, Anna, And Caleb!!! We're so blessed to have y'all as a part of our family! May the Lord draw each one of you closer to Himself in this new year of your lives. Since all three May birthdays landed in the same busy week, we had one big party for all of them together…and it was a party! :) ~ Congratulations Graduate! ~  Elisabeth Joy Linzey *CLASS OF 2014* "Done?" My life as I have known it Is taking a new turn; One chapter is concluding, A new one I will learn. The fenced path I've been treading  Is falling fast behind, The path I now am entering Is not quite so outlined. Thru former days I've listened To what's been taught to me, And now it's time to practice What I've been blessed to see. Though vague is the horizon, The Son is shining bright, And thru the clouds He'll lead me If I keep Him in my sight. My learning is not over -- I've only just begun;

Posted by Anna Mama and I have the privilege of sharing a birthday week this month, and I am blessed to be able to call my dear mother my friend! We've been through a lot together, grown together, and encouraged each other through thick and thin. But the Lord has been so good to us and I am looking forward to seeing what He does with us in the future!  I love you, Mama, and I am thankful that the Lord has allowed us to be together this long! May He continue to strengthen our relationship and draw us closer together as we travel shoulder to shoulder through this journey called Life.

Posted by Elisabeth The past few weeks Papa has been in Texas with a crew from work. As any couple who loves each other would know, such a separation is very difficult. So, Mama went down to join him for one week. That left us children to care for all 13 of each other! What could have been -- under "normal" circumstances -- a terrifying, chaotic situation was actually one of the best weeks we siblings have had together…and we've had a LOT of good times before! The younger ones were very cooperative (and I'm not saying that just to sound good!) and we all grew even closer together as a team. ~ 50th Wedding Reception ~ One of the first activities we participated in during that week together was the 50th wedding anniversary of a very dear couple who attends our Church.   They had requested live serenading from a couple of our talented musicians, and Anna and Christina were delighted to help in making this occasion a special memory for them with thei
