Corn Hole Champs Again!!


Belize is just lovely today!!...


This is where we stopped to eat a grabbed lunch on the way to the Truck Stop for the weekly corn hole tournament... The day was just perfect weather wise!! A bit of a cool breeze yet the sun for warmth!... We are so glad that it warmed up again! Yesterday was pure chillyness!



Dave and Jordan got the "corn hole champ" title back again today!!

They played some really competitive games today!! They played against last weeks champs and they never even gave them a single point!! I guess they took revenge from last week! It was eighteen nothing giving Dave and Jordan a shot in the finals again! They had a really good team to beat again! Local guys that were really good! They were back and forth in the winning position the whole way through the final game! Jordan made a corn hole to save the day!! What an exciting game it was!!

 
This was the reward they got today!! Free Truck Stop ice cream!! This is the best ice cream on the island to!!...
 
 
And yes Jordan did eat this whole ice cream cone! I'm not sure how he feels tonight now!? Him and Justin are up at Island Time watching football. It has been a really really long time since Jordan has had an ice cream cone!! He has been doing great down here on all the normal foods that we eat! (except for the few things he has triggered out) He had his infusion this morning before church again. It went well. Jordan is still taking his supplements from home. We hope his food sensitivities will be this good when we get home! It's all "real whole food" here for us but Jordan seems to be doing fine on gluten, dairy and real eggs and he couldn't be more thrilled! Running is going better to!


Church this morning was again a "sit on the edge of your seat" service! The message was "Standing on TRUTH"  It talked about Facts being a "Changeable Reality" and Truth being an "Unquestionable Finality"... We need to train ourselves as believers that facts are not final!

Example... Sarah was "Past Age to have a child" It was fact. But God promised so it was Truth over Fact.

Hannah... She was barren. It was fact. She ended up having seven children! Truth over fact again!

Caleb... Normal guy... but he skipped the Facts and stood for Truth and said "We Can Do It!"

David and Goliath... Facts... Goliath was a champion, giant, nine feet tall, 125 pounds of armor! 15 pounds in just the spear! Facts! The army saw the facts and ran away! What did David do!? He stood for Truth over Facts and he won the battle "For The Lord!" Unchangeable Finality!

We need to live by what we don't see!

Mary and Martha saw Facts when Lazarus dies. He is dead for four days. It's a fact that it's to late to save him by the time Jesus arrives. Jesus is not alarmed and wakes up Lazarus! Unchangeable Finality

Jiarus and his dead daughter. Facts... She is about to die.  Mark 5:21-23... She died. Facts again! Jesus ignored the facts again and says "She is only Asleep!"

The moral behind it was this... Don't be scared by facts... Jesus says "I am with you!"

John 8:31-32 Truth shall make you FREE!! Facts bring Bondage.

You are only as limited as what you believe!

The worship went hand in hand with the message and it was just so good to be in the house of the Lord on this Sunday!

Are you all enjoying your piles of snow!?? It all looks so fun! We keep getting pictures from Jonathan's and it looks like our difficult driveway got plowed open by some great neighbors once again!!... The piles of snow look like fun but also work so we are still glad we are on this side of it for now!...:) Enjoy it for us guys!! Jenika is beyond ready for her girlfriend time!! She is bought half grumpy these days!:}


We have our lobster/snorkel day planned for tomorrow. We plan to do school on Saturday to make up but I hear you all have "No School" tomorrow!! We play in water while you play in snow!..:) We will probably still do school Saturday just so the kids can chill a bit more when our February guests get here! We so can't wait!!

Lots is getting done here on sight but the February guests will not be able to stay here on site now. We are disappointed but it's just a tad bit to soon to get the sewer all done. Dave will be looking into lodging them off site somewhere. We hope it's close by so we can be easily back and forth. Next winter will be better to visit us here at MBV! It's moving along great but we all wish it could be at a faster pace...:)

Soon and very soon!

Good Night from Belize!
