3 Weddings in 1 week .............

Gina & Dewayne 

Don't judge a book by it's cover......

Don't let the tattoos and piercings influence who you think they might be!  This couple stayed pure, no sex prior to marriage and no kissing other than a peck on the cheek throughout their 2 years of dating and engagement.  They are also responsible for bringing many other young people into the body of Christ.   Monday prior to their Thursday noon wedding, they were legally married in a neighboring state but it was important to them to be married in a church wedding and in the eyes of God before they chose to consummate the marriage.  This couple is very evangelistic in the gifting and calling and such a blessing to the body of Christ.    

Mike & Emily's Wedding

60th - Nigerian Style

Dupe looking beautiful as ever!!

The lovely lady in the center was able to pull off a weekend of celebration and thanksgiving, without her husband knowing about it!  

We were able to get a moment of the guest of honor's time and pose for a photo.
About 170 people honored him with a dinner.  What an occasion!  Friends and family flew in from the USA. Greetings came from several countries.  Brother Joesph and his family are a true delight and a blessing from the Lord.

A Few Happenings In No Particular Order.....

Two Dupe's Are Better Than One! 

58 lb plus...Tootsie Williams Watermelon, ahhhhh it was so sweet! 

Ever had that favorite piece of clothing that you enjoy wearing?  Actually, you found yourself wearing it everywhere and for most every occasion. My hubby asked me to stop wearing this blouse so often, so I thought I would put a few new accessory's with it.  Thanks to the foam packing from a box, this gave me the creativity ideal to spruce up my outfit!  (When the boss was away, I couldn't help but play)

Why would toilet tissue be a seasonal item?

Placing new flowers & flags on Dad's grave.

Beaches of Mississippi

Daniel On Beaches of Mississippi

Daniel "caught" a fish......

While visiting the John Stennis Space Center, we took the opportunity to check out the beaches of Mississippi Gulf Coast. Due to the oil spill, activities on the beach were slim to none except for the hazmat workers in the green vest. Within a several mile stretch, we saw maybe 15 people playing in the sand along the beach. What should have been a beach bustling with business, was a tragic reality to the businesses and the people who make their living along our coast. Oh BTW, we didn’t see any tar balls or oil. What we did see was several clean up boats on the horizon sweeping our waters for oil. As I stood on the beach and looked out over the waters, my prayer was "Lord, heal our waters".......

John Stennis Space Center

The John Stennis Space Center is located on the Mississippi Louisiana border in Hancock County.  Construction of the 13,500 acres (55 km2). The test area is surrounded by a 125,000 acres acoustical buffer zone. The facility's large concrete and metal test stands were originally used to test-fire the first and second stages of the Saturn V rockets.
Shuttle main engine test site was selected because it was thinly populated and it was possible to create barge access to it — the rocket motors to be tested for Apollo were too large for overland transport. The chosen site also had to be between the Michoud Assembly Facility in eastern New Orleans, Louisiana, where the rockets were made, and the launch facility at Cape Canaveral in Florida. With the end of the Apollo program, use of the base decreased, with economic impact to the surrounding communities. Over the years other government organizations have moved to the facility, providing a major economic benefit to the communities. Two 250,000 gallon water tanks at the facility, used to test equipment for the Navy, were used to film the underwater sequences in the film Double Jeopardy. The facility was damaged in late August 2005 by Hurricane Katrina but seems to be in full operation now.
