"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

We have a DEER!


Yes! That's true! As we were eating Sabbath lunch today, Mom spotted a deer in our side yard. I literally flew and got my camera, going outside and banging the screen door!
Scared by the noise of the door, the deer took off from our yard. Oh, No!
Mom and I hurriedly got on our shoes and went in pursuit of the deer. We found her two yards over on our street.
Thankfully, I was able to get a few good shots of the deer such as (above).
"Our" deer was probably a white-tailed deer, as the mule deer usually live west of the Mississippi River.
This coming year Mom planned/is planning a "Tennessee Natural History" class for me in home school. This class will be comprised of identifying, & recording
(photos, drawings) native Tennessee plants, animals, and learning about Tennessee history.
We had planned the class to start in the fall, but I guess the Tennessee Natural History (animals, etc.) are getting an earlier start on the class than we thought!

The deer experience was very exciting, and we hope the deer comes again!
