Been spending some time time this afternoon contemplating how quickly the years fly by . . . one season following another ... and doesn't it seem that the seasons come and go so much more quickly with each passing year? One day you are young and then it seems suddenly you are not young anymore. … Continue reading Swiftly Fly The Years

Is Your Garden Well Watered
I began my day today as I do most mornings, with a cup of something hot to drink. I sat on my deck enjoying the quiet of the morning and then noticed what the past blistering days had done to the lawn. No rain, and local watering restrictions led to a scorched earth. I enjoyed … Continue reading Is Your Garden Well Watered

IS THE EARTH OUR MOTHER ?
The picture you see below has been making its way around the internet lately. At first glance it sounds nice doesn't it? The little girl is so engaging, and the picture evokes peace, tranquility and that all is right with the world. Did you, at one time in your life, accept Jesus as … Continue reading IS THE EARTH OUR MOTHER ?
Mommy’s Tea Kettle
How to make a proper cup of tea. Click on the image below. My mother's tea kettle and mine . . . I'll always keep Moms though. Technology is great, but it sometimes lacks charm. I don't think my Mom used this at all. I think she didn't want to ruin it. I love looking … Continue reading Mommy’s Tea Kettle
Laws that last forever.
Encouragement from the scriptures today and good words to remember no matter what our eyes see and our hears hear. Remember Psalm 119: 91 Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.
Do you think it’s possible to be wealthy and be truly happy?
But, here, for me is the crux of the matter...... I believe there is really only one way to be truly happy, and it is this:
Am I ignoring God today?
While its true that we serve a God of order, we don't serve an obsessive compulsive Creator. God knew how to rest. How this man could ever rest being "careful" about so many things is beyond me, and yet he is being held up as a model to follow.
Whitney Houston The Dark Side of Fame
I was telling my husband recently that I wonder from time to time, if circumstances were different, if I had had the breaks, the confidence and the tenacity it takes to "make it" in showbiz, would I have been happy. Today I can say that I don't think I would have been. In fact I'm thankful that God did not allow me to go down that road. With rare exceptions (American Idol winners perhaps) it is a long hard road to make it to the top of the show biz industry. What looks like such a wonderful and glamorous life is in reality what Solomon called a "chasing after the wind". Vanity Vanity all is vanity Solomon declares. I think young performers should study the life of Whitney so that they can learn what NOT to do. A full time professional singer, especially a woman, has a couple of decades (maybe three) to be on her game. Some female vocalists can stretch it out longer than that, but time will eventually take its toll on their range, their stamina and their looks. Let's face it, most people don't want to look at an old neck. Men can get away with it, but not women (i.e. the Frank Sinatras of the world, etc.)
Can gentleness make you great?
May His gentleness (KJV) make you great. - Inspired by Psalm 18:28,35.
Strength in Solitude
Pride + People = Anger. In contrast, a humble spirit is not frustrated by people. From ~ Boomer in the Pew (A study of Esther) There is a strange strength conceived in solitude. Jesus every little while withdrew from the crowd. Oh, for the tonic of waiting upon God! From - Streams in the Desert … Continue reading Strength in Solitude

Once you are real you can’t be ugly
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." [2] The Velveteen Rabbit reminds me of a passage of scripture that is a gentle reminder from our Lord on how to live in this world. It is from 1 Peter.
