The Pharisees probably had more faith in Jesus’ ability to heal than any of the disciples.
Did I ever mention where the picture on this blog’s banner came from?
These are the water drops on the sunroof of our car while we were washing the car. Elliot took the picture.
The simple pleasures in life are the Stuff that Matters – the title of my blog, in case you haven’t noticed.
No waiting at Astro Blaster. We came out of it and went right back in to ride it again.
No waiting at Pirates of the Carribean. The updated improvements were well done. No more “Hoho, hoho, a pirate’s life for me…”
