 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not. 

They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

Homemade Flame-thrower!

We were in Kansas over the New Year, and enjoyed our time with the family. Our cousins seem like they're always up to something...inventing something, building something, and so on. (Some of the ideas can get pretty crazy!) The latest was a flame-thrower made by our cousin, Brandon.

P.S. It's not as dangerous as it looks...honest!
