Do not be afraid.  Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today...The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.  Exodus 14:13-14

I thought you would like to see some pictures of the Flathead County Building and the park that surrounds it in Kalispell.  You drive around this beautiful building as you approach Kalispell's Main Street.  In just a few weeks Main Street will be festive with glittering lights on all the trees.  I'll post pictures.  The weather has turned colder and we're preparing for snow!

The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.  Psalm 19:1

Yesterday the kids went to the Community Swing Dance which was held in a ballroom above one of the stores on Main Street.  Kalispell is so small town America - love it so much.

Today Den and I went to Glacier.  Tomorrow Going to the Sun Road will be closed at Avalanche so today was our last opportunity to get to Logan Pass.  It was a beautiful day and great to see our favorite spots again.

Here are a couple of pictures of Jessi, Nate and Travis and of our trip to Glacier today.

For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.  Ecclesiastes 3:1

It's been a while since I posted to my blog;  this is mostly because our days have been so full and partly because my heart has not been in it.

Den and I have made the decision to remain in Kalispell until after our vacation with Penny and Francis next year.  Our RV has been winterized and is hibernating on Jack and Alice's property.  We moved in with Darcy, Jessi and Travis last Monday and are so much enjoying being part of their family.  We hope that we're bringing a bit of stability during a difficult time of adjustment for them.  Darcy is in process of filing for divorce and is working as a front office manager in a dentist's office and also at Sweet Peaks ice cream store.  Jessi is a full-time student at Flathead Community College and works at City Brew and Travis is finishing up high school and works at Crossfit Gym.  They are in and out of the house all day long and we love being here to hear their stories, and watching how the Lord is blessing them and growing them up through this tough time.

So you will just see pictures of the beautiful Flathead Valley for a while on my blog!  Fall has definitely arrived and it's so beautiful.  The fist 3 pictures were taken at Sweet Peaks yesterday and the last one is of Faith Covenant Church where our family attends.  We have been going with them lately - first service at Easthaven and second service at Faith Covenant!  It's a rich time for us.
