This is a post that will not appeal everyone. But there are more than a few of my readers (family and others) that follow big events in the Hayes family.
David and Kathy invited Grammy to go on a trip with them to help give the girls a great first trip to Disneyland. I say “first” trip because they have an unnatural need to go to Disneyland on a regular, if not annual basis. Here is Grammy’s video documenting this momentous, event “epic” (one of David’s favorite words) 3 day extravaganza!
As we now have 4 wonderful grandchildren, Amy and I often talk about how we can best serve our children and their children. I commend to you this video from Canonwired as an encouragement to think clearly and lovingly about our ongoing relationships with our children and their families.
“Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!”
Psalm 128:6 (NKJV)
David & Kathy invited Grammy Amy to accompany them to Disneyland to be a nanny for Amara and Lily. They leave for the big trip on Wednesday and Grammy caught this discussion on video to show how excited our 2 year old Amara is for the trip!

Week 14 (Nov 6): Marriage & the Family
MARRIAGE
20So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. 21And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
-Adam needed a helper – woman created especially suitable for man. Equal but different (out of man; Gen. 1:27).
-Adam waxed poetic – loving & sexual relationship – Oneness (Mal. 2:15); 1 Cor. 7:2
-New families (no patriarchal control of the future)
-One man, one woman (polygamy not God’s plan; homosexual unions are not marriage)
-By covenant (Mal. 2:14)
-For dominion (Gen. 1:28)
-For a godly off-spring (Mal. 2:15)
Gracie on Holiday
For those of you with a need to laugh and enjoy yourself – I recommend my daughter Grace’s blog. She is on a long trip Holland (four weeks) and then to Hawaii (1 week). She is documenting her trip with a flair that is quintessentially Grace!!!
