At times we feel annoyed, and then there are times my husband and I are totally maddened! Living in the country especially during the summer months, the gnats torment us with every outside endeavor. We feel as though a remnant of the plagues of Egypt is visiting us. 😉 Nevertheless, we have found an even … Continue reading Celebratory Fast “Take 3”

Reports from the Homeland
After being abducted and taken captive to a foreign land, and spending many years in exile, this man is delivered a vital report concerning the condition of his homeland.

The Potter’s Clay
Listen to me, if I could sit down with you and tell you all that has happened in my life, it would be one marveling session after another!

The Roadmaster and His Roadmap!
Have you ever driven across the country dodging potholes? Unfortunately, for cross country drivers, potholes can cause all sorts of disruptions to one's travels.

Early morning flight! So thankful, after flying numerous flights since 2020’s pandemic, I am mask free! “Let the whole world sing for joy, because you govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world.

Good Friday (Day 46)
I asked Siri to explain what Good Friday means: the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. And as it has been asked before what good is there in a day of crucifixion? This horrific day, which was like no other day that has ever … Continue reading Good Friday (Day 46)
A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Beautiful gardens have always captured my attention. The peaceful serenity of shade trees with flower lined paths where a person can find renewal from the hustle and bustle of the world. Jesus and his followers regularly got away to the Mount of Olives. It is there we enter the Garden of Gethsemane. And [Jesus] came … Continue reading A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
I love to be outside when the temperature is agreeable. Today, I spent most of the morning working in flower beds and cleaning pollen from my front porch. A nice breeze blew gently, and it felt pleasant … until noon. But while outside, I began thinking of Jesus and His disciples in the Garden late … Continue reading Oh! How beautiful is He! (Day 44)
