Valley of Vision

O GOD WHOSE WILL CONQUERS ALL,

There is no comfort in anything
apart from enjoying thee
and being engaged in thy service;

Thou art All in all, and all enjoyments are what to me
thou makest them, and no more.

I am well pleased with thy will, whatever it is,
or should be in all respects,

And if thou bidst me decide for myself in any affair
I would choose to refer all to thee,
for thou art infinitely wise and cannot do amiss,
as I am in danger of doing.

I rejoice to think that all things are at they disposal,
and it delights me to leave them there.

Then prayer turns wholly into praise,
and all I can do is to adore and bless thee.

What shall I give thee for all thy benefits?
I am in a strait betwixt two, knowing not what to do;

I long to make some return, but have nothing to offer,
and can only rejoice that thou doest all,
that none in heaven or on earth shares thy honour;
I can of myself do nothing to glorify thy blessed name,
but I can through grace cheerfully surrender sould and body to thee,

I know that thou art the author and finisher of faith,
that the whole work of redemption is thine alone,
that every good word or thought found in me
is the effect of thy power and grace,
that thy sole motive in working in me to will and to do
is for thy good pleasure.

O God, it is amazing that men can talk so much
about man's creaturely power and goodness,
when, if thou didst not hold us back every moment,
we should be devils incarnate.

This, by bitter experience, thou hast taught me concerning myself.

"God the All", taken from The Valley of Vision, A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions.

Spring Has Sprung


No, I did not take this picture, but we do have daffodils outside of our house too. : )
Photo courtesty of Google Images.


Today as we joyed in the fellowship of our guests the Carpenter family, we reveled in the fresh spring air that blew threw the house. Open windows and doors beckoned us out further and further.

The children had huge kickball games all morning in the breeze and after lunch we traipsed into town for a tour of Nathan's house. We took pictures . . . hope to put them up soon [Editor: Yes, our only way to put up pictures is still to use computers of kind friends].

Nathan finished the framing out of the barrel roll ceiling in the kitchen, and is working on the columns for the front porch. They are just concrete block right now but will be wrapped in some sort of a ledge stack stones for a Craftsman style look.

What a beautiful day--no bugs, flowers blooming, trees in blossom, gentle breeze, joyful fellowship, and . . . clean basement. : )

Still Working Away


Spring Cleaning--Late 1800's Style.

Our basement-storage area is getting a major overhaul. We were not planning on it . . . but last week, when digging out a cake platter for a baby shower we were helping with, we discovered a moldy box. We were not too worried about it but resolved to look a little deeper later that week.

Were we surprised. Though our basement has not technically "leaked" any water, the boxes that were sitting next to the concrete basement wall were definitely damp. Many of our girl's hope chest items were moldy (books, pictures, dolls, dishes, etc) as well as a general musty smell throughout the basement. Hmmm. Not what we had planned.

No one told us about de-humidifiers or having an "air buffer" between the boxes and the basement wall when we moved to Missouri! So it is live and learn.

Happily, as we have surveyed the damage, we have not really had to throw that many things out. Many thanks to the Zes ladies for the tip on wiping moldy books off with a Lysol and water mixture. It is working wonders.

We are now putting the basement back together, and while we are at it, are organizing while we go! Thus, the lack of blog posts. : )

We did have a glorious visit with our dear Nana this past week, and this coming week are expecting several more rounds of in and out of town guests. Never a dull moment!

Press Release from Burns Family Studios:

Homeschool Film Studio Catches Vision to Change Their World


Homeschooling families are joining together in the Pendragon Project in order to challenge their generation and change their culture. Pendragon is a Christian film featuring inspiring heroes from Medieval Britain. This film is being produced by Burns Family Studios, a group of homeschooling families from Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana.Pendragon’s release date is December 2007.

Pasta Post


Ma-ma-mia-pasta-ria!

Last week, a group of ladies and girls that we know, gathered for a day to learn how to make pasta. It was a day filled with conversation, feasting, adventure, and fellowship in the Lord.


The Lokke Ladies.


Notice the egg in the flour "bowl".

If you want to make pasta the authentic Italian way, you have to make your "bowl" out of flour. Crack your eggs into the middle of the flour bowl then mix with your hands, adding water as needed to get the right consistency.


Sweet and articulate Miss Grable.

For those who could not quite pull off the mixing on the board (and that was most of us!! : ) mixing in a bowl was a good second choice.


The Yelton ladies.


Pasta making with the Osbornes.



The guys--before the hike.

As the kitchen was crowed and there was not enough room to include all the boys in the pasta making extravaganza, they all decided to take off for an adventure.


The fearless leader.


Notice the odometer : )


Over the river and through the woods . . .


Young Mr. Grable.

This young man looks a little sad not to join the big boys on their hike through the woods. Maybe next time.


A Sweet and Very New Baby.

These little girls were very content to stay in the house and observe their mothers and older sisters. : )


Some of the Houghton Ladies.


In Mid-air.

When you are making the pasta, you take the clumps of dough, shape it into a round, cut it into small chunks, then feed it through the pasta maker. Basically the pasta maker acts like a glorified rolling pin getting the pasta rolled thinner and thinner. Eventually when it is the correct thickness, you send it through one last time with the noodle attachment and it cuts it into noodles.


The World's Longest Pasta Noodle--6 foot long.


Flouring the Noodles.

We usually make the pasta with an "assembly line" motif, so flouring the noodles while they are waiting their turn to be cut is a necessity.


Drying the Finished Product.


Pasta Rack Extraordinare.


Teamwork.

In considering why the art of pasta-making might be dying, we were mindful of numbers of people to needed to make it. Most kitchens in America don't have 2, 3, or 4 people on hand to help out. Rather, the heart of the home in the USA is generally occupied by one solitary person. This may be the reason why pasta making has fallen out of favor. You need a community to make it. At the bare minimum 2 people are needed, but it is helpful to have 3 or even 4 people all working together.


A Serven-Lokke Pasta Making Team.


Lunchbreak: Rolls and Soup.

We successfully dodged springtime raindrops during lunch and had an al fresco repast . . . minus any pictures. : )


Sisters.


Technical Difficulties.


Finishing up the last scraps.


Here they come!

After an adventuresome hike, the boys returned to see the finished product. I'm sure each of them enjoyed tasting the results later that night in their respective homes round the family meal table.


"Phew! That was a long hike. . . .


. . . But we are still not too tired to be silly!"

Patrick's Day

Dear Friends,

As today is the day when we remember the servant of our God, Patrick, missionary to Ireland, we thought you might enjoy reading a little bit more about him. You can click here to read an article written by our dad.

Last night as I was trying to be organized, I had a whole post on our Pasta making day from last week . . . it was completely word crafted, laid out and ready to post. However, I failed to notice that our internet connection was, uh, not connected, and subsequently the whole post disappeared into oblivion. : ) AHHH! I guess that is the rightful fruit and consequences of doing posts late at night and not saving them as you go along. So, that post will have to wait until Monday.

Surprisingly this morning when we woke up, we discovered it was snowing! Some of the children have run out to the new garden to put plastic quart sized yogurt containers to cover and try to protect the frail new plants--the peas definitely like the cold weather, but the lettuce may not. We'll see what survives the freezing temperatures. The snow is steadily falling. I doubt if it will stick, but you never know. The wintery whiteness would certainly make it a memorable Patrick's Day.

So, with the fluffy white flakes lazily floating down from the sky and joyful Irish music wafting through the air, their is much joy in my heart this Patrick's Day. Much busyness is happening around me as preparations are made for the next several day's events and I anticipate much glad feasting and adorning of our souls with gladness as we continue to rest in God's goodness.

Joyful in His mercy to me,
Rebecca

Sacred Harp Convention


The Setting.

Last Saturday, we journey south to the little hamlet of Pickney, Missouri. It was an unforgettable experience joining in song with nearly 150 others, singing praise to our Almighty God.


Basses.

We had arrived at the Missouri Sacred Harp Convention, a gathering representing the "classes" from Missouri, but in reality welcomed people from many additional states--Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Arkansas, Alabama, and others.


It is a necessity at first to keep your finger tracking your spot in the music.

This people use two books to sing from: one book aptly named "The Sacred Harp", another complied by our own local group and published by the Missouri Historical Society titled "Missouri Harmony". Both books have all four parts spread out on the page into their own staff and make use of old fashioned shaped notes to keep the notation (fa-triangle, so-round, la-rectangle, mi-diamond).


Keeping time.

A wide group of people participate in Sacred Harp. Some people appreciate it for the biblical truth of the words, some for the beauty of the music. However, regardless of the singers motivation, the sound is quite glorious and the words of truth ring forth.


Mr. John Uhleman, Mrs. Judy Hauff, Mr. Rodney.

Many Sacred Harp Singers have been singing for a very long time--some for their whole life. Our local St. Louis group has been going for more than 20 years. We interviewed Mr. Rodney on our upcoming ENN--his grandfather taught him how to sing Sacred Harp. Talk about multi-generational! : )



Mr. Ressler tunes organs and is one of the usual people to "set the pitch" before we start singing by calling out the beginning notes.



Everyone takes a turn leading up front. It is a pretty easy "conducting" pattern--down, up, down, up--for all duple meters (counting by 2's and 4's), and--down, back, up, down, back, up-- for triple meters (counting by 3's and 6's). It is done by swinging the arm, elbow and hand all together in the same direction, different than a normal conducting pattern.



Beth takes her turn to lead. When you lead the "class" you also get to select the tune.



Peter climbed up into the balcony to capture a picture of all 150 of us--except we could not all fit into the photo! Beth and our new friend Michelle Stremmel are sitting in front of the organ in the top middle part of the picture; Rebecca and Lydia are on the lower right hand corner; and Peter, Mom and the little kids were not in the picture.


Feasting

At noon we had a "Dinner on the grounds". It was quite a feast and we all did not fit inside. Since it was a beautiful day, us Servens ate out of doors, but we forgot to take a picture. : ) Our group from St. Louis was so gracious to invite us to set up a little table for some of our products from GFCR. Thank you for your generosity!


Mom and Sarah in the Altos.


More Altos: Beth, Michelle, Mom, Sarah.


Prepping to Film.

We decided to film an ENN report of the convention--keep a look out for our new submission starring Miss Lydia. You'll even get to hear a bit of the singing! We will keep you posted once it is complete, sent in, and up on the website.


The picture was not really this brown--but it looks neat and "arty" doesn't it? : )

After the sing, we enjoyed exploring a graveyard on a nearby hill. It was a beautiful reminder of the seriousness of our life--how we sang praises to God in our life and we will sing praises to Him after our death.







"After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, 'Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just . . . Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory . . .' "

Revelation 19:1, 2, 6, 7


The end of a wonderful day, worshiping our Savior Jesus Christ.

Garden Time


Beth has been working hard to get our garden started this year.


The size has doubled from last year's garden.


Some plants have been put straight in the ground (peas pictured here) . . .


. . . while other plants have been started as seedlings in the house and hot beds to be set out at the appointed time.

Praise for Hymns for Kith and Kin



It is with much joy that Hymns for Kith and Kin is now officially available for sale. Here are some sweet notes of encouragement we have received. We would love your feedback and comments on this project--click here to tell us what you are thinking.

-----

"Dearest Rebecca,

We just received y'all's "Hymns For Kith and Kin" yesterday in the mail. I just wanted to let you know how much it has already blessed our family. We had it playing all afternoon as we went about our daily tasks and it brought a sense of peace into the house. We look forward to using it in our family worship. Rebecca, may your gift of playing the piano continue to glorify God and further His Kingdom. Thanks for sharing it with us! God Bless Your Family."

- Miss Abbi Sanders


Almost 50 copies of Hymns for Kith and Kin in Pre-orders

"Thank you for the cd. We have enjoyed singing to it at home . . . I really like your style of keeping the meter at the ends of phrases (‘filling the holes’). It is very pleasant to listen to it in the car too, since they are all tunes we are familiar with. I think it will be nice to use it in a personal way too, “singing” them silently with the music as a way of really thinking about the words. It could be useful in helping to memorize hymns too, although most hymns I have memorized I never made a conscious effort to do so – I just started remembering them from repetition. It is a good choice of hymns . . . For example, the melody of “Be Thou My Vision” is a favorite of one son of ours, and I hope that in time the words will also be taken to heart and memory."

- Mrs. Lida Bringe


Ready for delivery and off to the mail box!

"[Hymns for Kith and Kin] reached me in the form of a small box, buried in amongst the few dozen other parcels I retrieved from the Post Office on my way through town to home. As I was searching for nooks and crannies to place all those packages, I happened to glance at the return address of that ONE . . . it went onto the front seat. When I got to the house, I built a fire, started breakfast, then put one of the discs in the player . . . and cooked and ate breakfast to the sounds of that glorious Steinway and even more glorious ticklesome fingers making it sing . . . a more pleasant homecoming I can't imagine, and much needed after two full days of driving a fully loaded van back from California. I am making a list of my friends who need to hear this as well . . ."

Men's Leadership Advance: Behind the Scenes


Our sweet servers.

These ladies were such a blessing to the men at the Advance and to us ladies in the kitchen. They tirelessly cleared tables, washed dishes, cut vegetables, assembled sandwiches, decorated dessert plates (with whipped cream, fresh mint, and grated chocolate mind you!) and were an encouragement to us with their sparkling smiles.


Working away.


The Lokke sisters setting up for Breakfast.


Rebecca, Andrea Reins, Beth in foreground, Madeline, Kelly Reins and a little piece of Marissa in the background. : )


The all important taste testing of the potato soup.


The Kitchen Crack.

And what, you ask is the significance of this picture?

This crack in the cover of the kitchen window thingy was our window to the outside world. Because the refrigerator kept up a constant loud buzzing we could not use our sense of hearing to catch any of the lectures or even to tell what was going on out in the other room. Out of necessity we developed a creative system of keeping up with the happenings of the men.

A small crack between the pieces of wood was just large enough for us to peek through and see what was going on. This was quite useful in gauging when to serve meals, if the snack table needed a refill, see who was sleeping in the crowd (no--not really : ), and watch the antics of the men during some of the games (this particularly was helpful in the fact that we caught the men dropping for 10 pushups during the "Passing the Ball" game).


The Eyes of Nine.

Now I must admit, this is a posed picture--sweet Madeline did not quite get the idea . . . but quite often you would find many of us with our eyes up to the crack, peeking through.

The only downside to the whole operation was the few times when we caught the incredulous look of a dad or son in the audience who just happened to glance over and see bunches of blinking eyes looking back!


After conference de-brief . . . and strategy session on how to advance Christ's Kingdom.

It was a great joy to serve at the Men's Leadership Advance. We are grateful to the Lord for His kindness in allowing the conference to be a blessing to us and so many others. To God be the glory.

Men's Leadership Advance: Fun and Games

What would a Men's Leadership Advance be without the creative "ropes-course" team building games of Uncle Fun? Otherwise known as Matt Macfarlane, our uncle lives in California where he and his family serve Christ's Kingdom on the Central Coast. We were privileged to live near, worship and work together for almost a decade, but now the Lord has us in different parts of the country. We miss them very greatly and dearly love these sweet cousins.

We were excited to share Uncle Matt with all the men at the conference. Always a wonderfully out side of the box thinker, he ties in analogies from the games to applications of the speakers talks and into our everyday lives.

Game #1--Carpet Maze

Object: To figure out by process of elimination and trial and error the correct order you have to step on the various carpet squares to make it through the maze. Team members are usually not allowed to advise each other while they are in the middle of the maze trying to remember "Was it to the right or the left?"

Type of Game: Brain Stretching, Analytical and Short Term Memory


Uncle Matt explains the Carpet Maze game.


Hmmm. This takes a lot of brain power.




Game #2--Over the Bridge Paper Scissors Rock

Object: To get 4 of your team members successfully over the bridge. You run across, then when meeting the opposing person from the other team you quickly face off by playing paper scissors rock. If you loose, turn around and go back to the end of your team's line. If you win, advance forward and hope that you will make it over the bridge without messing up in paper scissors rock.

Type of Game: Speed in running, Mental Clarity.


Lining up to cross the bridge.


Friendly Father and son rivalry: The Knibbs.

Game #3--Keeping the Balls Going

Object: To keep multiple balls of different sizes going around the circle in different directions all without interruption. If you drop the ball, severe consequences will ensue.

Type of Game: Hand Eye Coordination, Peer pressure to not make a mistake.


Tossing the ball: Mr. Kohler, Daniel S., Steve L. and Mr. Swanson.


Mid-throw.


Man, oh, man. Somebody sure messed up.

Game #4--Fruit Basket Upset

Object: To stay out of the "mush pot" in the middle. One person in the middle calls out the name of a team, "apple", "orange", "kiwi", "blueberry", etc. All the members of the team must jump up and switch with the other members of the team, finding a new seat. Since there is one less chair than people someone will be left in the middle. They in turn call out another team's name and they all switch seats. Want to spice it up a little? Try calling out two or three team's names at the same time. Or if you really want to make it exciting say "Fruit Basket Upset!" and everyone has to find a new seat!

Type of Game: Quickness of feet, Fruit Cataloging Skills.


Explaining how it works.


Run, Uncle Matt, run!!

The last round, a special addition was made to the rules--the person who did not grab a seat on this round would have the distinct honor of being last through the food line. Wild scuffling ensued as two of the strapping young men took on Uncle Matt, wrestling him to the ground. Loud cheers emanated from the room where the men were, so loud that all the kitchen help ran to see what was happening. We just caught the end of the pinning match and saw the 2 boisterous young men jump up from the floor and slip into the 2 remaining seats leaving Uncle Fun out of commission on the floor. He was appeased by an extra helping of dessert. : )

Men's Leadership Advance: Fellowship and Teaching


Pastor Kevin Swanson.

The Men's Leadership Advance was a rich time of learning from wise men and fellowship with the brothers. Fifty-eight men and boys from 6 states and 10 different churches gathered together February 23rd and 24th for an event--not "retreating" but "advancing" in Christ's strength and for His sake.


Joyful Fathers and Sons: Men from the Bringe family.

The goal of the conference? To encourage men in the joys and duties of being a family shepherd and to delight in the Sabbath Day. We pray the Lord would bring good fruit of application in the lives of the men that attended, but if their response was indicative of the work God was doing in their hearts, it will be beyond glorious. To see Father's hearts being turned to their sons, gaining a deeper understanding before God of their role as family protector, progenitor, priest and patriarch, gives each of us great cause to sing praises to our Redeemer.


Pastor Marcus Serven.

Pastors Kevin Swanson and Marcus Serven expounded the word to the men who gathered, heralding the truth with much clarity and graciousness.


Praising the Lord in Song.

Hearing almost 60 men's voices robustly raised in song is a beautiful thing. Proclaiming Christ and His Kingship through our singing strikes terror in the heart of the enemy. We are grateful to Mr. Grant and Mr. Hamman from Covenant Family Church who so graciously lead the singing to our God.


A few of our out of state-ers: California, Colorado, and Texas.


Milling around and good conversations were the order of the day.


So much to talk about.


Uncle Fun and Mr. Z catching up.

By the way, you will understand our Uncle's nickname in the next post--so keep your eyes peeled. : )


What is that GIRL doing at the Men's Advance??!! Don't worry, it's only a Serven(t).


The wonderful ambience of an open fire lent a lodge like feel to the Advance.


We were overjoyed to have a contingent from our St. Louis sister church, Reformation Christian Assembly.


Selling their wares . . .

The Generations book table was ably manned by Pastor Swanson's personal assistant Chad Roach. Here he is chatting with Randy Kohler.


Benjamin ran the Genevan Foundation book table.

Sarah interviews Benjamin for a future ENN broadcast (hopefully, but don't hold your breath : )


GFCR stuff for sale.

Genevan Foundation now carries some new products including, The Family Worship Book, Trinity Hymnal, plus The Book of Psalms for Singing, two Instructional Psalm CDs O Sing a New Psalm and Songs of the Remnant. We are just on the verge of releasing Hymns for Kith and Kin so we took pre-orders from conference members.


Good fellowship and iron sharpening iron filled all the conversations around the feasting tables.


The Sunset on the Advance, but a Sunrise on the days and years to come . . .

As the two days of rich fellowship and preaching wrapped up, much praise and thanks to our God was in order. He blessed our little efforts beyond measure and we give all honor and glory to him.

Men's Leadership Advance: Preparation



This past week was a glorious time of preparing for, executing, and rejoicing in the results from Men's Leadership.

Our dad, Marcus Serven and a fellow pastor, Kevin Swanson, were the speakers for the event. Pastor Swanson put up a very kind post highlighting the Advance that you might enjoy reading and seeing. Check out the post from February 27, 2007. It was our privilege to have you here Pastor Swanson!

We thought you might enjoy seeing some pictures of the week of preparation. We'll post photos from the Advance over the next few days . . .

---
For the past several weeks, Beth's brain has been flying with tons of factoids involving numbers and food. All this planning culminated in several shopping trips to prepare for the 4 meals x 60 men and boys = 240 meals. (Of course, that does not count snacks and desserts.) As it was her and our first catering experience it was quite a fun adventure learning about planning and preparing for such a large group. Mrs. Lokke and her girls were a huge help. One day while at Costco, they were thrilled to providentially run into Mr. Houghton. He graciously helped unload the Costco purchases into the van that blustery shopping day.


Cutting away.

The Zes ladies were kind to come up Wednesday and help with some of the preparations: 30+ onions made for an extra special round of tears, 20 green peppers for "Uncle Matt's Chili", at least 14 dozen cookies, plus many, many more wonderful culinary preparations.


Here we are taking a break looking at old family pictures.


Uncle and niece visit and financial strategy session.

We welcomed Uncle Matt and Cousin Daniel to our home and had a relaxed day Thursday catching up and doing a little sightseeing in the city. We dearly love our California cousins and miss them greatly.


Cousins carrying stuff in from the cars.

Friday morning finally came and with it a multitude of craziness. Happily, we had 4 cars at our disposal so we had people, food, decorations, books, and general stuff shuttled back and forth from our house to the conference center which is about 30 minutes from our home.


The cabins were a little chilly, but some heaters helped that problem.


What is the best way to squeeze in food tables, book tables, eating tables, a lecture area and general milling-around-the-room space? Hmmm. Tricky.


Looking good!

We made candle holders from logs by drilling with a spade bit and inserting the tapers. Boughs of cedar and triangular "pillars" of quotes rounded out our table decorations.


Mrs. Lokke was such a great blessing to all of us.


Sweet girls preparing to serve the fathers and sons.


What's next?


Final touches.

Unfortunately we don't have a picture of our very favoritest person during the preparation phase of the Men's Advance--our Registrar, young Mr. Hamann, 8 years old. He quite ably and articulately greeted people at the door, took their information, and gave them their conference packet. What a dapper young man! That is one of those times you wish you had the camera handy, but can't find it anywhere.


End of a busy day.

Everything is ready and set to go for the official beginning of the Men's Leadership Advance!! Check back later to see pictures from the Advance.
