Now, more on obedience to evoke the blessings and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

23 June 2013 - Thursday at the Park

So on Thursday we were worried about the game between the Heat and the Spurs.  We decided to have a picnic at the park to avoid watching in case the Spurs won.  Luckily, Nakeu recorded the game so he could watch the Heat win when we got back home.
