July 8 – 12 I went early enough to get a few pictures of class rooms and the decorated doors. The topic for this summer was “The Incredible Race” One Family, One Race, One Savior. Registration. Each child must be registered. It is always interesting to see the Bible school class rooms. It is most […]
This Gray Catbird was relaxing one morning – on one leg. I turned on the patio light for better lighting – It changed its coloring a bit. The mourning dove was searching for seed on the ground. The hummingbird looked pretty in the evening sunshine. I hadn’t seen a red-bellied Woodpecker for awhile. I never […]
By Monday morning (day after the wedding) the Maine and Tennessee people had gone home – except Diane – who stayed for an extra week. On Monday she and Anthony gathered tea to make tea “syrup” for our freezer and Abby’s. Anthony enjoyed Doritos while Diane removed the leaves. She measures the tea, sugar and […]

Sunday Afternoon, July 7 This is what Anthony did while waiting for the wedding to begin. He stuffed the straw in the opening between the two bales in front of him. The flower girl.

Sunday, July 7 Sunday school – Superintendent – Rol Longenecker “Pass the salt, please.” We are salt. The church is salt. The Bible is salt. Bible “salt” pulls out the flavor in others. It also melts cold, icy hearts. Sunday school – Teacher – Nevin Ebersole – Matthew 5:13-20 Jesus came to do and represent […]
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma High

Friday, July 5 We were leaving the house to go out for supper when we noticed a pretty rainbow. It was fun taking pictures as we drove along our road. I think Cerwin stopped four times so I could get another shot. This was the evening sky as we traveled home. God is certainly a […]

We love you! Daddy and Mother High
Thursday, July 4 There was a large sprayer in the neighboring cornfield early Thursday morning – 7:13 am. A few hours later, the Amish neighbor was cultivating his butternut squash – in the field next to the corn. I read that mules are good for doing something like this because they are cautions with their […]
June 30 Sunday school – Teacher Kevin Longenecker – The Beatitudes Does my attitude cause bad attitudes in others? We try so hard to be in control, but how does God’s way fit into us wanting to be in control. The rewards of a good attitude are far better than the rewards of a bad […]
