Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
There are a nice variety of activities for the children at this two-day event. I always enjoy watching children’s auctions because the children do not try to hide the fact that they are bidding. They just hold their number in the air until they are finished bidding. It takes a good auctioneer to conduct […]
a wicked life is a puny life. Proverbs 10:27 (The Message)

I went to Lebanon Fairgrounds early yesterday to capture some pictures of the heifer auction which started at 11:00 a.m. As I approached the last pole barn, it was obvious that the heifer auction had begun. Some people were still getting auction numbers. Heifers were being prepared for auction. I watched as several heifers (many pregnant […]

If you are in the Lebanon, Pennsylvania, area, you won’t want to miss this event (Friday and Saturday) at Lebanon Expo Center where lots of money will be raised for Brethren Disaster Relief.

Monday, September 23 – the evening before Jere’s forty-fourth birthday. We went to The Loft (Jere’s choice) in downtown Lancaster where our children took us for our anniversary dinner last week. This time our table was positioned along a wall where I had a good view of the attractive raftered ceiling where there is beautiful, healthy-looking greenery. I […]
and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 (New Living Translation)
I won’t need many words to show that these animals are loved and well cared for once they get to Roy and Deb’s house. When the trucker heard that he lost two baby ducks, he was surprised that they were alive. They must have fallen off the truck at the same time to be discovered together. […]
as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Colossians 3:23 (New Living Translation)
There were multiple reasons why we and Jere and Kristen’s family met Roy and Deb at RD’s for lunch after church on Sunday. 1. It is a new restaurant in Roy and Deb’s area. 2. I had some things that needed to be returned to Deb (they live about an hour away from us). 3. Deb twisted her knee […]

We love you! Daddy & Mother
Jason and Renita and their family graciously host this show of trucks and cars. They do a great job of making a truck shop look attractive for the day visitors.

The other day when Tiffani came to my office to work on a project for youth retreat, she brought a beautiful flower arrangement. She said that her mother was looking for someone to bless because they had so many pretty flowers. I do love being blessed! Thanks Dorinda and Tiffani!
O Lord my God, You are very great. You are dressed with great honor and wonderful power. Psalm 104:1 (New Life Version)
The other evening when I was in the kitchen, cleaning up after supper, I noticed a yellow glow and went to investigate. I had fun experimenting with camera settings. It was certainly a beautiful close to the day.
Ephesians 6:10 (New Life Version)
We were honored to be invited to the TFC Office for an anniversary lunch. Monday, September 16 Before going to the office, I stopped at the shop to see what Cerwin was doing.

1 Peter 3:10 (The Voice)
We have been looking at tall, beautiful corn all summer. This year we were surrounded by corn fields. It is kind of nice, because it gives us a feeling of isolation. That began to change on Monday morning. We again have a window with a view – if we look to the south. At this point nothing […]

Then we changed our attention to baby Bryson. […]

Last night we had a covered dish supper to celebrate her birthday. Justin, Josh, Jordan, and Cerwin. After lunch we asked the young guys in our man cave to help get the table board and saw horses from the pavilion to use for the serving table. We timed their help perfectly – just before the Eagles game […]
