Clara's Birthday

This Friday night we celebrated Clara's 14th birthday.  Her actual birthday was on October 22. Four girls came over and we roasted hotdogs and made smores around a firepit.

We drove down today to Houston to visit Uncle Mark and other relatives. We're staying with Mom's brother, Matt, and his family.

"God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.  It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh."  Genesis 9:12-15
