“For
there is born to you this day in the city of David
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:11
Our Journey in Developing a Simple, Self-Sufficient, and Sanctified Lifestyle
| Dinner at Historic Washington State Park with family |
| Fried chicken and chocolate cake. Yum!!! |
| Dad sharing about Jared's life |
| Will and his lovely bride-to-be, Brittany. :) |
| Both grandfathers shared memories they had of Jared and also some valuable insights |
| Presents! |
| Jared is our bird man and he plans to raise chickens on his farm in the future, so we thought a chicken themed quilt would suit him well. :) |
| The next day we had Jared's ceremony at our church (Mount Olive Baptist) Jared shared thoughts from Psalm 27 |
| The grandfathers prayed a prayer of blessing over Jared |
| Signing the Manhood Pledge |
| We had a reception following the ceremony where we enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches cookie cake, and some half-melted ice cream. :) |
