Best of Cross Country Road Trip!

So, our road trip has finally come to an end. We had the best time driving across the U.S. it was a trip with we will cherish forever. There is something amazing about seeing the landscape gradually change over and over. Sometimes we get so used to just hopping on a plane and seeing desert or palm trees, but to be in a car and watching it was very exciting. I highly recommend going on a road trip, but I think you need about two weeks to really enjoy a bunch of places. Here are pictures from the camera and Blair's fancy camera that I finally uploaded to my computer. I mainly just posted iphone pics when we were on the road, and I realized that it kind of made me a lazy blogger. I would just want to snap camera phone shots that instantly post instead of uploading all my pictures to the computer and then again uploading to blogger. But, I promise I will post more than just mobile blogs :)

This is where we had to park our car so we could go back home and get about 4 hours of sleep before we left Boston!

John 15:1-17

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
