"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

TNAQ Part 1 of 2-"River Journey"




Wednesday our family and Schift-Bowers played "tourist" to the Tennessee Aqaurium.


I took 166 shots, taking 9 more pictures than in my June visit! ;) Anyway, we got there about lunch time, so we ate our lunch and with that out of the way, we took on the Tennessee Aquarium!


We started with the River Journey building, as oppossed to the Aquarium's Ocean Journey building. We saw seahorses, otters, (were they a favorite!) numoris fish, turtles, frogs, and even donated our 2 cents worth to the Tennessee River Gorge Wishing Well, making it possible to keep the Gorge in tip-top shape.


Besides our genourous donations, (ha!) I bought 2 postcards which totaled about $1.00. AND we grasiously gave $1.53 to the always-hungery squished penny machines! ;D




Since Dad had work to do, we parted company with Schift-Bowers after the River Journey building to go home while Schift-Bowers stayed on to enjoy the macaws, penguins, butterflies, sharks, and other fish in the Ocean Journey building.

Included with this post are some of my better shots. However, I most give credit to my fabulous father who took some of these pictures for me because I couldn't get up high enough.

P.S.-Even though our family couldn't see the Ocean Jouney Wed., we will go back next Tuesday to see it. ;)
