Ripley's . . . . . . . Believe it or Not!
Tall men, big tires, oddities! Even a Mona Lisa made of tiny pieces of toast. Can say I've not seen anything like that before. Made for an interesting morning!

Hunting a Hog? Seriously.
Yup. Seriously. Our first full day in Florida was spent hunting in Okeechobee. Quite interesting, it was! Eric and Ben each got a hog and Annika and I saw a bit of what hunting is like and had a nice ride in a pretty cool buggy.
Floridays Resort
After two days of driving, we made it to our first destination!
Thought this was a cute little purse:)

Frickles Anyone?
They aren't too bad! I definitely couldn't eat them like french fries or chips, but a couple here and there are pretty yummy:)
Things I'm Learning
1. Those who love you and care about you want the best for you. Those who aren't happy in their own lives cannot be happy for you either.
2. People in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. I don't judge you or how you raise your family, so please don't hold our ways against us! If we are striving to walk in the ways of the Lord, and growing in the Lord, we are at least on the right track. Holding accountable is one thing, and pointing out when walking away from the Lord as well, but pure judgement because we do things differently from you isn't necessary.
3. My husband is such a tremendous earthly blessing. It is such a blessing to have a loving, Godly man in my life.
4. I love my kids but they do belong the the Lord first of all ~ I have to remind myself that.
5.Ok, so a barracuda isn't a land animal. Sounded like a wild cat. Hmmmmmm. Momentary lapse of brain function.
6. I don't hate working out as much as I thought I did.
7. Stay in the Word, Stay in the Word, Stay in the Word.
8. Trust and Obey ~ For there's no other Way!
9. People don't like to mind their own business. And to those people, your business always seems to be their business.
10. Contentment is such a huge blessing and I thank the Lord for it!

Some Quotes on Judging
Judging others. Guess I often struggle with it, but often feel in the position of being unfairly judged as well. Either way, I need to pray about it and remember how it feels to be in the position of someone judging you unfairly. False accusations are never fun.
Judging Others ~ NIV
1“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
A few quotes I found:
Some of us are inclined to look to the weaknesses and shortcomings of others in order to expand our own comfort zone."
"Even if we could observe all of a person's acts and words, we would still not have sufficient information to judge him, because we cannot see his reasons for his behavior."
“Your judgment is only as good as your information.”
"Usually our criticism of others is not because they have faults, but because their faults are different than ours." Roger Eastman
"Don't be down on that you're not up on." Harold B. Lee
"We know nothing of the trials, sorrows and temptations of those around us, of pillows wet with sobs, of the life-tragedy that may be hidden behind a smile, of the secret cares, struggles, and worries that shorten life and leave their mark in hair prematurely whitened, and a character changed and almost recreated in a few days. Let us not dare to add to the burden of another the pain of our judgment."
