Sunrise…….

This morning I see the glow popping up over the hills beyond our house. It begins with shades of purple and then transforms to hues of orange, yellow, and red. While it never looks exactly like the day before, one thing is certain:Everyday, all over the world, the...

Their First Move…..

We were able to go to Nashville and help Erich and Mallory move into their first home!! Now they have a fenced in yard for Hugo and Phoebe!! I thought I’d let you see a little of the weekend! Our friend, Rob Harris, came by to help carry a few of the heavier...

Just a branch……

John 15:4-5 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much...

Thank you for your prayers……..

Sometimes you need the Wind……

In All Things Give Thanks……………

Fears creep up in me as Olivia doesn’t seem better. She cannot hear out of her left ear. She keeps getting dizzy when she stands up. This morning she didn’t want to return to school, and I stood over the bed whispering, ‘Olivia, you need to...

Weekend Memories to be Made….

I wonder if the disciples ever thought of the memories they were making as they walked the dusty roads with Jesus.  Isn’t it ironic that they had Jesus with them and yet couldn’t photograph the memory…. Now we have equipment for “clicking a...
