Fellowship

We are grateful to the Lord for sparing the Springer family's home town from the hurricane this weekend. They have already made it back to Rockport safe and sound. We enjoyed having them here, though we still think their visit was too short! We are thankful to our Heavenly Father for using what appeared to be a tragic circumstance to bring our families together for a wonderful time of fellowship and encouragement.
As far as an update on our storm situation here in Floresville, we didn't get a drop of our much needed rain due to the fact that hurricane Rita swung more to the northeast. There are many people who have lost their homes and though we don't know them personally, they still need our prayers as they work to reestablish themselves in the coming months.

The following photos are of our full weekend. Some members of both our families took a trip to the Alamo and the rest of our time together was spent relaxing right here at home.

Enjoy!

Hurricane Rita

The Huber family is experiencing a bit of "excitement" of late. A category four Hurricane is due to hit some coastal areas as well as Houston this weekend. Due to the possible danger of the hurricane, San Antonio is welcoming evacuees with open arms. We still have many homeless folks from the catastrophe in New Orleans and now even more from our own state. I believe every Hotel is booked. Since we are to be hit with a bit of a storm as well, Mom and I set out to purchase extra water. We looked high and low yesterday at Wal-mart, HEB, Sams and Target without success. Everyone seems to be getting ready just in case. Parking lots were packed at many grocery stores and it was crazy trying to shop...waiting for a cart, standing in line and so on :) Oh well, memories were made!
We are hosting a family from the Rockport area and there is a possibility of another from Houston. Our hearts ache for those who are camped out at a local mall and for the many needs around us. The people of San Antonio seem to be very hospitable...the friendly south I guess :) Anyway, I wanted our readers to know what's going on around here.

Please pray for those whose lives will never be the same. Pray for the many souls who don't know Christ as their Lord. And please lift us up as we hope to minister not only to those of the household of faith but to those whose hearts are troubled about this ordeal as well. May God be glorified!

Nikkae for the Hubies

3 questions

Below are three questions for our readers to answer if you so choose. We thought this post would be of interest to all who like history and wish you could enjoy its delights personally. So take a moment, sit back and think about the following and we shall await your answers :)
(You don't need to repeat our questions on your comments, just list the answers in order.)

1. If you could spend one day (and night) in any period of history as a middle class citizen, what would you choose?
2. What person in history would you like to walk alongside for six months. (You need not share in their fate.)
3. If you could be a prominent figure in history who would you choose. Can be general or specific. (Please specify period)

Thank you for your participation. History is such a tremendous gift from our Lord. May we learn from the past so as to help us in the future.

Swimming

Just in case our readers are wondering...YES, the Hubers are all alive and well. We have been keeping busy with various things: Dad's work, starting up school, trying to improve in our diets and exercise and the wonderful blessing of moving Nathan back home. It's been fun having him around again and we will treasure our time together while the Lord has him here.

Today we all had swimming lessons from a dear friend. Angi Spradling is an instructor from SA and she has graciously given her time to travel all the way to Floresville to teach us. She is not only a good teacher but an excellent swimmer and we are thankful to the Lord for opening this door of opportunity to our family. How good the Lord is to take notice of even our smallest needs and desires, fulfilling what we never thought could be possible.
"Thanks Angi for your sacrifice and patience with us!"

Enjoy the pics,
Nikkae for all

Congrats!

Congratulations to our hard working film crew who have successfully completed a silent comedy film last week. The tireless efforts of Brandon, Anthony, Jonathan and Kristalyn Huber, Charlie and Nathan Nance, Andrew Elster and Josh Wheeler have paid off after a whirlwind movie shoot and edit process. The actual filming took place in just two days and the editing was amazingly quick as well.

"The Dumb Detective" is pretty self explanatory just by reading the title. It is a silent black and white comedy about a detective (Nathan Nance) who is trying to catch a thief (Charlie Nance) that has stolen our heroine's (Kristalyn) jewels. Our detective has two faithful friends (Anthony and Jonathan) who end up with all the credit for the arrest and in the final scene we see our detective standing in a crowd of spectators applauding the buddies he thought would just "help" him with the case.

It was wonderful to observe the older guys as they patiently coached our young actors for hours and the kids doing so well despite the late night shoots and hot days.
Thanks for all your effort guys. It was great fun watching you all :) The final product is quite entertaining!
