Pictures from Arkansas

I thought I would share some of the pictures I took.  

 

This was the view from our camp.  That is the White River (I think).   It was running pretty full.  

 

When we came back from meeting J and picking her up this was the same shot.   Don't you love the fog?

 

The fog was quickly taking over the bridge and the river. 

Until finally............

Yep all 4 kids!   Admiring the river until they discovered mom snapping pictures. 

Now to share what the fog meant to me.  I love fog.  I love walking in fog.   How many times in the Bible does God appear in a cloud which sounds just like fog?   Here are a few examples....

Exodus 16:10
While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory of the LORD appearing in the cloud.

Exodus 19:9
The LORD said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you." Then Moses told the LORD what the people had said.

1 Kings 8:10
When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD.

1 Kings 8:11
And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.

 

That isn't anywhere near all the times that God appeared in a cloud.  See why I like fog?  For me seeing the fog rising when we got J was just such a "God" moment.  His way of showing me He was with us and in this and it was His will.  

Fast fwd to Sunday Morning.....

J getting Baptized

 

She is wearing my shirt.     It was even the one I wore when I was baptized.  How is that for a strange happening?  

 

Something I found "different" about the baptising was that there were 3 teens getting baptized and I was the only parent/adult back there helping them hugging them and other wise being supportive.  Maybe it is just the stock tank/horse trough mentality but everyone gathers around and is involved.  It is note worthy.  Pictures are taken, hugs given and ......   It is very muchly a time of rejoicing.   It is a life changing event.  Not a quick dunk and then church goes on like nothing happened.  I know I am very spoiled to our out of the box church.   

 

Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!
