Creation
Struggle From the Beginning
A few weeks ago, I began attending a Bible class and we started at the beginning in the book of Genesis. Tonight in my small group, we discussed the basic human nature of good and evil, faith and sin. One person noticed that God promises redemption from the beginning and gives us (people) the opportunity […]
Courageous Young Mother
Today in church, the priest talked about the evil of abortion and how it seems to be pushed upon us as a society in every arena. He also discussed how good can and will overcome evil as long as there are people willing to stand up and fight for it. This reminded me of a […]
Late Night Visitor
Last night just as I was getting into bed, I heard a strange noise. It sounded like an animal or bird of some kind. I walked around my room and decided it was coming from outside. I put on my slippers, threw a blanket around my shoulders, and went upstairs. I walked around up there […]
Experiencing Genesis
Today I flew across the country to begin a quick visit. On the second leg of my flight, a very nice young man sat beside me. We chatted a bit, and I learned that he used to work across the street from one of the landmarks in the town I used to live in. He […]
Feeling Fortunate
It has been quite hazy here due to wild fires in nearby states. But, today the sky was clear with not a cloud during the entire day. We made a trip up to the cabin and it was just gorgeous. Some of the leaves had just started to turn and with the backdrop of the […]
Zebu Keeper
My sister, brother-in-law, and I went to the state fair today. They have been trying to decide what kind of new animal they would like to introduce to their farm. They have been thinking about goats, but last time we went to the fair, we discovered the zebu which is like a miniature brahma bull. […]
Library Music Books
When my mom was young, her grandfather lived with them for a while before he died. This morning my mom remembered when they used to take him to the library to look for German books. She was about 10 years old at the time. When they went, my mom discovered that the library carried books […]
Pelted Garden
We made a trip to my sister’s farm today and visited family. Her huge garden got hit with hail a couple of days ago. I saw some pretty sad photos of the damage and wondered if there were any vegetables left. We took a tour of the area and some of the plants had been […]
Eating Outside
The past couple of days, the weather has just been wonderful. We have been able to enjoy eating outside on the porch using the new chairs we bought. They are the perfect height to use with the table we got a few years ago. It is a nice change of scenery. We watch the people […]
Passing Clouds
I took some time today to just sit on a rock, breathe in fresh mountain air, and watch the passing clouds. I didn’t try to make objects out of the shapes, but just watched them move. There were large white clouds that would billow in some places getting larger and puffier. Others were thin and […]
