Smoky Mountain Hymns, Vol. 2
By Various Artists
see relatedGatlinburg
Hallelujah, the time has arrived for my family's biennial trek to Gatlinburg. This time is nearing the end, but has been incredibly refreshing and enjoyable. You'll find below a few pictures:
Reagan is "helping" me drive around scenic "Cade's Cove", in the Smoky Mountain National Park. Don't worry, it's a slow nature drive, not on the main highway. Reagan enjoyed it, making motor noises as he turned the steering wheel.
This is a view across our porch this morning. The sun coming up through the trees is beautiful in the mornings.
This is the view from our porch. Wow, I could live here . . .
Andrea & Reagan playing Rummikub with Sarah this afternoon. Reagan, what's the next move?
We are taking a break from a strenuous game of mini-golf.

Happy Birthday to . . . me!
On Tuesday evening, August 26 (my birthday, what a coincidence) Andrea surprised me with a bluegrass "jam". Terrill Yoders, my parents, Helen Yoder, came and we picked some bluegrass & sat around the campfire. It was great! It had been a while since we'd gotten together and done that. Funny thing was, on Sept. 13, we did the same thing, only for Nathan's birthday - also a surprise, this time planned by Monica. Again, a great time was had by all.
A couple pictures from my birthday jam:
Thanks to Andrea for planning the great evening!

The Value of Human Life
What are your thoughts on this article? Cal Thomas discusses the value of human life and the unthinkable things that happen as the value of life fades away.
Here is an excerpt:Randy Stroup is a 53-year-old Oregon man who has prostrate cancer, but no insurance to cover his medical treatment. The state pays for treatment in some cases, but it has denied help to Stroup. State officials have determined that chemotherapy would be too expensive and so they have offered him an alternative: death.Unbelievable!
