It’s so weird to be able run around without even a coat in early November, but I’m enjoying it immensely. I don’t think it will last very long, but I’m loving it while it does!
I took my traditional Sunday afternoon walk today, and I got to wear flip-flops! I had packed them away for next summer a month or [...]

In my life, Lord, be glorified…today.

Isaiah 35

Water will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
And a highway will be there; it will be called
the Way of Holiness…it will be for those who walk in that way.

Isaiah 35:6,8

What we’ve been up to…

…cleaning and organizing our basement!
One of the things on the top of my list was going through all my boxes of old school papers, letters and cards I’ve received over the years, and other mementos. I found this hilarious thing I’d written for school when I was ten. It is appropriately titled My Cat Stormy (spelling and [...]

Musings from Psalm 119

 
 I run in the path of Your commands,
for You have set my heart free.
For the past few weeks, I have been reading a Psalm, or a section of a Psalm right before I got to bed. Just for fun, I started at the end of Psalms, instead of the beginning. :) I am in Psalm [...]

Last one

The 50th quarter, Hawaii, in the 50 United States Memorial Quarters is now in circulation. My collection is now complete!

It’s so hard to believe that it’s been nearly ten years since the first quarter, Delaware, was issued in 1999. I was only seven years old when I began collecting them, and I remember thinking what a looong time away [...]

Did you see it?

We went to a wedding today, and just got back a little while ago. The wedding was beautiful, and the couple was so sweet.
The father of the groom (we know the groom’s family well) came up to Micah Noel and I said some really touching things. I don’t quote, but this is the gist of what [...]

What I love about Fall…

Baked apples with cinnamon and honey
Cool days, and crisp nights
Long walks with our hands shoved deep in our pockets for warmth, with the red-golden leaves swirling around our feet
Hot apple cider
Lugging out boxes of cozy sweaters yet again
Steaming cups of herbal tea
The anticipation – Christmas is coming!

What do you love about Fall?

A thought

Jesus paid it all!
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it, white as snow!
