Home Town Visit

This weekend, we went back to Manning for a little family visit. We really enjoyed it and were able to have a great visit. My dog in Manning, Herschel, hated Scout and would not have any thing to do with him. I think he was jealous that I brought another dog around. By the second day, he nipped Scout in the nose and Scout figured out that he better not mess with Herschel.



We went out to my granddaddy's pond at the farm, which is where Ryan and I got engaged. It is beautiful out there. Here are some pics of the scenery:




Peach trees at the farm...

Daddy Scott decided he was going to build a pond house. They started the framing on Saturday and we went to check it out. They are all hoping that this will be the Jackson family hang out for get togethers/holidays. The beginning work looked great, but Daddy Scott was getting grief from Mama Scott and Rosy who thought the house needed 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a washer and dryer.


Also at the farm, Daddy Scott had his barn rebuilt and got a new Tennessee Walker, Hank. The other horse they have is a quarter horse named Sugar. We visited with the horses....they were beautiful and sweet enough to let us pet them.



Ryan and Hank became instant friends...
My parents are going to be opening a new urgent care practice in Manning in May 2010. They took us by to see the new office. We are praying all the details come together for them to open smoothly in May and to really meet a need in Manning.


Sunday, we went to church and Shoneys for the b-fast buffet (not too many options in the big city). Here is a pic of mom and I and the Reese family before we went to go back home...

    You won't be able to hold Scout like that for much longer! Samson and I loved hanging out with him last night. :)

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
