"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

Disney World

Brad, Karsten, and I had a fun-filled week at Disney World last week. Even though we walked and walked and walked, we felt so refreshed just getting away for a week. Karsten enjoyed meeting different characters and getting their autographs. It was so much fun seeing Karsten so excited getting to meet some of his favorites such as Buzz, Woody, Goofy and Donald Duck. Then, of course, Brad and I had our times of missing Kyler and wishing he was at Disney with us. As fun as Disney World is and is probably considered one of the funnest places on earth, we had to shift our focus towards heaven and realize that he is in a place that does not even compare to Disney World. It is still painful and we wish so much Kyler was here with us, yet God continues to give us the grace to trust Him.

Continuing on with our trip, Karsten's favorite rides were the Aerosmith's Rock-n-roller coaster at Hollywood Studios and the Mt. Everest Expedition roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. At Magic Kingdom we enjoyed Space Mountain and Splash Mountain, and then Epcot was the very cool Soarin' ride. The shows were also very entertaining such as Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The Lion King, The Muppet's 3-D, Cars and Motorcycles stunt show, and It's a Bug's Life 3-D. We thank God for allowing us to get to go on this wonderful trip and for the safety He provided. Here are some pictures to enjoy.

Romans 8:15-17
"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption. And by him we cry 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."
