Well, so much for me blogging once a month!! Have you ever noticed that LIFE gets in the way of things like this? Let me catch everybody up on the Scott adventures over the past two months.In May, Jason turned 15 and got his learner's permit. He has been driving as much as we will let him. He had a great birthday and we just love celebrating with him all that God is doing in his life. Our family took a week's vacation to Keaton beach at the end of May and we had a wonderful time fishing in the gulf. I think every person in our family likes to fish and we work great as a team!
Then, you can look at the last post, Anda graduated from home-school high school!! What a month!
In June, Arvis turned 15. He had friends over to swim, play games, and cook out. It was a blast. We love birthdays...they are bigger to us than Christmas as far as presents and celebrating each other. Christmas is for Jesus!! We also went back to Roatan in June with a group of 41 from FBC. There were 29 youth and 12 adults. God moved in mighty ways and we witnessed His power, provision, and protection. Several youth heard God speak to them 
about being full-time missionaries. We were blessed beyond measure to be a part of such an amazing adventure. Following that week, our church had VBS, family style. We went to each rotation as a family and learned that playing, learning, and serving can all be done as a family...it's not just for the little ones anymore! The last week of June and into the first week of July was family week at Cherry Lake. Aunt Julie and the cousins, Sam, Joseph, and Alex all came down from Tennessee. We skiied, tubed, rode the knee boards, played games, and went to Wild 
Adventures. We finally invested in a digital camcorder and made our first movie...just a hoot!!!Jason, AnnMarie, and Anda went to SLU (Student Leadership University) the second week of July. SLU was in Orlando and all three said it was AWESOME! They learned a lot about leadership, witenessing, and about themselves. I am excited that they have the next three years to attend as well...the last year they get to go to Isreal. My sister, Christy and I made a very
quick trip out to Colorado this month. Our grandfather passed away and we flew out to be with family. It was a short trip, but a full one. We both can't believe so much time has passed. On July 21, Aaron turned 12! Did I mention that we LOVE birthdays?!? He has been asking for a drum set and we got one!! He is going to take lessons this year, but can already keep a pretty good beat. We are excited for him!! And we praise the Lord for another year with our man!! Last week some friends from our UGA days came by for a visit. David and Sharon Lynn and their children are 
preparing to move to Thailand to be church planters. They still have over a year of study and prep, but they are so excited about this opportunity God has given them. Arvis left Monday morning...just yesterday...for a ten day trip to Brazil. He and the team will be ministering on a boat in the AMAZON. We got word that they arrived safely and with all their luggage!! We praise the Lord for that!That brings us to today: we are praising the Lord for another
beautiful day and praying for Arvis and his team in Brazil!!! Have a blessed day.
