Fall Fun

     We buy yearly passes for Dollywood mainly for the Harvest Southern Gospel Festival that last

the whole month of October.Jacob loves Southern Gospel and keeps up with many groups and

individuals via Singing News, Instagram and T.V. When the schedule for the festival is available he

sits down and makes his list of who he really wants to see. This year we got to see some different

groups perform and we really enjoyed it.





     The leaves weren't as pretty when we went to Tennessee but God's landscape is ALWAYS

beautiful. No matter how many times I travel through the mountains I'm amazed how something so

big and rugged could be so soft and small in God's world. So many times we don't stop and look at

the beauty but complain about the ugliness and miss His blessings.


     I want to say fall is my favorite time of year but I also love spring (except the allergies). There are

so many things to do and participate in that if you don't watch it major overload. Picking apples has

been something we've done since moving to NC 22years ago but this year we've gotten overloaded

and haven't gone. Jacob has found some Apple recipes(jelly,applebutter,etc.) that he wants to try this

year so not sure there are any apples to pick but we're heading out today to see.

     With this new season Jacob has set out on a new adventure.....The Red Bow Tie Club. He is

volunteering as an usher at The Foundation which is where there are concerts,plays,etc. He did his

first concert last week and really enjoyed it so much that he's decided he wants to add more programs

to his list. I am so proud of him!!! This is a big step for him to actually go to an event without

me being present. Most people don't know he has many health problems and assume he's just a

momma's boy. Well this momma is Jacob's biggest cheerleader. Enjoy Fall Y'all and stop to look at

God's beauty around you be it mountains,beaches,prairies.

Brinkman Adventures Season 4

Have you heard of Brinkman Adventures? We hadn't until recently we were given the opportunity to

receive and review Brinkman Adventures Season 4. After reading about what this review would be

about I got excited to get started.

The Brinkman Adventures is a audio missionary drama based on a real-life missionary family and

their missionary experiences in real-life. While the stories in this audio drama are true and about

modern missionaries some of the detail may have been adapted or fictionalized. These adventures

can be read about at Brinkman Adventures Real Stories Season 4 and see pictures and videos of their

adventures. Brinkman Adventures Season 4 has 12 episodes that take you from a Bible camp  to

Cambodia, Russia and the Middle East while encountering some scary things along the way.

Favorite Episodes

A Paradise Lost had Jacob and I on the edge of our seats waiting to hear and imagine what the

Brinkman's and the campers were going to do in the bad storm. We had just been camping so it

was easy to visualize what was happening at this Bible camp.

Remember Nhu brought back memories of our trip to California where we were told about slave

trade in Cambodia. Jacob was about 13 and had never really been exposed to these topics before

so now to hear it in the Brinkman Adventures has made him(18 years old now) start questioning

what he can do to try and help combat against these acts.

I would have to say my favorite episode was The Mysterious Palm Feller. The audio drama is so

realistic that I felt as though I was right alongside them biking and flying through the Congo. To hear

the native people loving God and wanting to love God made me feel proud to be a child of God. A

witch doctor comes to know God and doesn't want to perform evil things anymore. To me this is

just a reminder that ALL CAN COME TO GOD.

Through out the missionary stories prayer is shown to be a way to help with the life situations. So

many times we as humans only go to God in prayer when we have a problem or situation we can't

fix but prayer should be constant not just in bad times.

Our Thoughts

We really enjoyed listening to this season and will be purchasing the other seasons. We listened while

working around the house and while doing some computer things.
