Words in the King James Bible

The word "divers" in the Bible is an old spelling of the word "diverse."
So today I searched my Bible on my Kindle app (free), and here are some of the verses I found with "divers."

--Prov 20:10, 23 divers weights and divers measures (merchants may have false weights in order to charge you more);
--II Sam 13:18 a garment of divers colours
--II Chron 16:14 divers kinds of spices
--Psalm 78:45 He send divers sorts of flies among them.
--Matt 4:24 sick people that were taken with divers diseases
--Matt 24.7  famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
--Mark 1:34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases
--Mark 8.3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
--Titus 3.3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures
--Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
--Hebrews 13.9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.
--James 1.2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; v.3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.


I found the "divers" definition in the King James Bible Companion, a little booklet that is about $0.50 at Gullion's Christian Supply Center (locations in Winston-Salem, Mt. Airy, and Statesville, NC).
Or you can view it online, but I like to keep my booklet with my Bible.

Remember when Joshua and then David houghed the horses of the enemy in time of war?  Well, now you can know what that means. =\  Well, it was war...

sMiLeS,

Edisto Island, SC

Last month our family was able to go on a free vacation!  Not often you get to do that.  Some friends of ours set it up for us to use their points or something (not sure how that works), and we got to stay an entire week at a really nice place on Edisto Island.  Still others gave us money that paid for our gas and our food the day we ate out.  So very thankful.  =)
Since Rebekah is getting married in a couple of weeks (!!!), it was especially nice for our family to be together for 7 whole days with nothing that "had to be done."
My sister and her family came up to be with us a couple of days.  We hadn't seen them in a while, and being a couple hours closer to them worked out great.  And my brother got to be with us a few days too. =)

We had such a great time!  It was wonderful.  =)


Cousins Day!
Glad it was mid-70's that day.  It was actually really nice for November!

sisters

Rebekah, Bethany, Elisabeth, Rachel - cousins! =)

hahaha! 

Sunrise and Sunset
Love my kids! The girls are really close, and the twins are really close. For being boy-girl twins, unusually close I'd say. =)

♥Sisters, sisters... those who've seen us, know that not a thing could come between us!

He just acts as if he doesn't like it, haha!

Bethany took this pic of JohnDavid using his iPod!
One of my favorites.

The docks
I love pics with water, but I really love these at the docks!  This was right behind the place we were staying, within walking distance.  I loved walking on the floating docks that rise and fall w/ the tide.  They rock side-to-side as you walk on them.  I just love these pics. =)

Edisto Marina

pelican =)

stingray!

Beach Again

horseshoe crab!

shrimp

The condo
We had the 2nd floor, but were two flights up because all the houses down there were on stilts. =)

Love the wrap-around balcony.  Having the 2nd floor meant we had
our whole balcony to ourselves with no one tromping by on the stairs.

Girls in the kitchen.  We cooked all our meals except for the day we went to Charleston.

Travis & Rebekah ♥

Love these twisty trees!  They were everywhere down there.

Free
Lots of free stuff to do, including miniature golf, tennis (but no pics), golf, and more that we didn't do.

In Charleston

Aircraft Carrier - there were 5 "tours" and the kids went on them all!
Also went on the submarine and the destroyer.

Love this =)

=D

Girls together

Twins together

In the gift shop.  Trying on hats, a usual thing. =)

sMiLeS,

♪♫ The Hawks Trio like you've never seen them! =)

My Rebekah is getting married January 4, 2014, and she made a video of photos of her and her two best friends -- her sister Bethany, and her cousin Abigail.
We were at a small gathering the other week with bridesmaids and Moms and a few close friends, and she told Bethany and Abigail she had made them a video.
The tears flowed before they were even able to get the laptop powered up!
It was a sweet time.

Pics from that day:


The Hawks Trio has been singing together for almost 6 years.  They are really, really close.  =)  The video has photos from the last 7-8 years or so, but not in order.  Some sweet, some funny, and some hilarious! ;)
The dark-headed ones are my daughters, and the red-head is my niece. =)



-The first song in the video, "He Leadeth Me," was the first one they'd ever sung together. =)
-And Abigail is like a sister, so they all have liked the song "Sisters."
-And they had to have Dean Martin singing "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You."
  At 08:45, in the pic of Abi down the hill, her fishing hook was stuck on something so Rebekah was keeping her from sliding in! -- You're nobody till somebody cares!  LOL.
-When they were little and rode in their Grandma's van, they all wanted her to play "Sunny Day, Rainy Day" on the CD.
-The last song, "Ashokan Farewell," was the first song they really learned together on the violin.
