A couple of days in Branson

Jana and I just got back from a few days in Branson. For those not familiar with the geography of the southwest Missouri, Branson is about 45 minutes south of us in the beautiful Ozark mountains. Although I ended up working quite a bit, it was really nice to get some time with my beautiful wife. My brother made it possible for us to spend some time in a timeshare condo, and it was great. We spent some time by at the condo's pool, spent a few hours at Silver Dollar City, played some golf, and went to what has become one of our favorite musical shows in town. SIX is a group of six real brothers who sing without any instruments. Just using their voices, they sound like they have a full band, including percussion. They have great blend (as most family groups do) and their arrangement of Amazing Grace may be the best I have ever heard! Anyway, we got back this morning, and have had a pretty relaxing day. The next two weeks are going to be pretty busy for us, then Jana's school year begins.

The Lord has been so good to us. Jana and I enjoy our time together more now than ever. Even driving from point A to point B we just enjoy talking. This time one of our topics was just what the Lord has done in our lives. This verse about sums it up for us:

Psalm 126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
