On Saturday morn, we started out with rain.  That’s all it was…rain.  By the end of the day, I deemed that this was a huge rain, not “just rain”.  Our pumps were running, the basement was OK with only a http://www.bald-is-beautiful.com/2010/05/great-flood-or-day-noah-came-to.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304190448693271206.post-6114651659603517943Sat, 27 Mar 2010 12:00:00 +00002010-03-27T07:00:10.153-05:00 Time for another Fix It Friday from my favorite spot on the web…I ♥ Faces! This week has been a blur for me.  I had my first “professional” photo shoot.  That’s right folks, I got paid to take photographs.  Let’s just say this, I learned a lot.  Number one thing, it takes quite a while to edit 455 pics.  I don’t think I’ll be making that mistake again soon!  So when I saw it was Friday, I http://www.bald-is-beautiful.com/2010/03/fix-it-friday-i-heart-faces.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304190448693271206.post-2746669999641298644Tue, 23 Mar 2010 08:17:00 +00002010-03-23T03:17:51.026-05:00  Time for another “Sweet Shot Tuesday” over at My Life with 3 Boybarians. read more… http://www.bald-is-beautiful.com/2010/03/sweet-shot-tuesday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304190448693271206.post-1119729363641240207Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:22:00 +00002010-03-16T18:22:36.771-05:00OK, here goes.  I know I’m in ♥ with my wife, but I think I’m in ♥ with Rita from Coffeeshop Freebies also.

I had the opportunity of meeting up with a group of people I’ve known for several years, but have never met this past Saturday.  Unfortunately about 20,000 people had the same idea and headed to the park as well.  Of the 20,000 in attendance at Springs http://www.bald-is-beautiful.com/2010/02/just-another-sunny-day-in-park.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304190448693271206.post-993921552378905079Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:35:00 +00002010-02-20T13:35:41.347-06:00Just thought I would share our family portraits.

This devotion would be published as a devotional for the Easter season. Well, I was one of the ones asked to participate. I was given a couple of scriptures to choose from.
