That Time We Went to The Zoo

This post is going to be full of pictures! 
Annnnnd there would have been even more; however, picasa and blogger are, once again, having behavioral issues. =P So, perhaps, you'll get those in a different post. =]

Frugal Friday Thrift-Shopping with Friend! =D

Oh what vast amounts of fun was had =)
Let's do it again, Chelz!

When I find a raw dish at restaurants, I simply must photograph it! ;P

I drove Dad and Heidi to the Zoo!
{I was not driving when the above was photographed =}

Brookfield Zoo

Oh how I do love red-bud trees ...

Heidi and Condor ... Heidies are cuter ;)

My co-workers and I have been reading through the Epistles together, and this week we've been in Colossians.

"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."
~ Col. 3:2

I love how God always sends me what I need for each day. <3
It was so timely to have that reminder!
As we were discussing the chapter, someone pointed out that in the Greek, 'affection' is referring to 'mind'.
"Set your [mind] on things above..."
How easy it is to be overwhelmed, and become concerned with the immediate physical things around us - when really, we should be keeping in mind our eternal purpose!
How can we be furthering our Lord's Kingdom in the time and place He has us?

May each of us follow the admonition of Hebrews 12:1! 

Pip-pip,
