Waxing Gibbous Moon & A Pretty Sunset
The other evening I noticed a pretty sunset and went outside with my camera. However, my attention was drawn to the moon that was just rising in the eastern sky. It looked wintry and pretty behind our hickory trees with bare branches. The setting sun also painted a beautiful sky.

A Glimmer of Hope or a Hope That is Full and Sure
Sometimes hope in a person or something concerning an earthly situation is like this sunset. There is only a glimmer of hope. But hope in God is like this sunset. Full and sure.
Christmas Blessings from Church
Last week our church’s Christmas Fruit Packing Committee put together 26 grocery boxes… …30 one-peck fruit baskets… … 60 half-peck fruit baskets and 27 poinsettias. Many church members signed up to deliver food and fruit baskets or poinsettias. I took the pictures when I went to pick up the three half-peck boxes we chose to […]
Ordinary but Beautiful
In our area House Finches, Amish Carriages and House Sparrows are ordinary parts of our day, but if you take time to look and enjoy, they are beautiful. House Finches at our suet. It is not unusual to see an Amish carriage go by our house, but open buggies are not as common. Looks cold, […]
