He’s There ALL the Time

Phrases of great comfort from Psalm 121:
“My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
“The Lord watches over you.”
“He will watch over your life.”
“The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.”
Words to trust in…………………no matter what.  Do bad things happen to good people?  Most assuredly.  Evil exists [...]

I Want to Thank You Lord

The prayer in  my daily devotional today read as follows:
Dear God, You are there in the silence, in the pain, in the uncertainty.  You are waiting for just the right time to move in  mighty action.  Give me the patience to be still and know that You are God.   In Jesus Name.  Amen.
This was an [...]

A Huge Smile

Have you ever been so happy and excited about something that you could NOT wipe the smile off your face?  Could NOT stop yelling and clapping?  Could NOT keep from getting on your feet and dancing a jig?  Just such an event took place in my life on Friday night.  I was just one of [...]

Where the Power Is

From Psalm 33:16-22 – “No king is saved by the size of his army, no warrior escapes by  his great strength.  A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength, it cannot save.  But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in [...]

A Vacation?

Really?  I wasn’t sure we were ever going to see another vacation!    However, it’s looking very promising that we’ll be able to get out of town for something fun the first part of June.  It has been said that every person needs 1) Something/someone to love, 2) Something to do, and 3) Something [...]

I’ll Be Quiet Now

Before I share my blog thought for today, let me answer Greg’s inquiry about our den ceiling.    We have had a leak for some time now, resulting in some huge discolored spots and then falling painted stuff, which I shall describe as paper.  I don’t know what to call it; it’s not sheetrock, [...]

I Smiled Today When………….

Michael came to check out our leaking den ceiling;
Emily came with her daddy to check out the den ceiling;
Barney was so glad to see Emily;
I made a big country breakfast of eggs, sausage, biscuits, and gravy;
I made potato soup that turned out really well for supper;
We met Danny and Jean’s new German Shepherd puppy, Rome;
Elisa [...]

A Blog is a Blog is a…………………..

Dear friends,  we in this blogging family  have pretty much been forthright and honest in our sharing of our lives, our faith, our thoughts.  I am thankful for that because I could not participate in blogging right now if I could not be such.  I am committed to posting several times a week and to [...]

A Brief Break

Again, not feeling well, so I will be back on Sunday night.  In the meantime, a few recent smiles:

Vegging out.
Someone we know went to the hospital thinking she was going to give birth to A baby.  She gave birth to THREE—-all boys.
Telling Brigitt about #2.  Bless her heart, after her week, she needed a chuckle.
Getting [...]

I know it’s January, okay, but it has been realllllly cold in the ol’ sunny midsouth the last several days.  Cold, as in leave the cabinet doors open and the faucets dripping, cold.  It’s beginning to warm up a bit; forecasters are talking temperatures in the 50s for about the next week.  Looking forward to [...]
