Never Give Someone Else the Responsibility for Your Happiness
Peace and contentment come from your relationship with God, not your relationship – or lack thereof – with other people. I am listening to the Bible online and having just finished the story of the Children of Israel leaving Egypt, I was reminded that people are the same – everywhere and through every time era. […]
Wisdom with a View from Our Window
Meet the Lord every morning. Have a passion for God and compassion for people. Choose the way of most persistence rather than the path of least resistance. Friendships can fade. Family is forever. What happens in you is more important than what happens to you. Seek out quiet people. They have a lot to say […]
Some of My Favorite Snow Photos from the Last Two Days

Learn to Keep Your Likes Simple
words by Lowell C. Bennion – photos taken by me on Tuesday, January 19 ~~~ Learn to like what doesn’t cost much. Learn to like reading, conversation, music.

God Can Do Anything, You Know
Far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Ephesians 3:20 (The Message) ~~~ Photos from Sunday Evening, January 17

Circa 1942 This is a picture of the Hawthorne family, who lived close to Maytown, PA. My mother (Florence) is standing on the right. A lot has happened since 1942. Vernon and Joyce are the only two siblings living. The others are totally alive, but in Heaven.
I Loved This Devotional Today
From Max Lucado: Everyone stumbles. The difference is in the response. Some stumble into the pit of guilt, others tumble into the arms of God. They make a deliberate decision to stand up and lean into the grace of God. Just like you, the prodigal son was given an inheritance; he was a member of the […]

Lord, I am Thankful That You Know Me for Who I Am
You are not impressed by my job title… my skin color… my gender… my appearance… or my age. Thank You for the times You exalted me when I didn’t deserve it… and the times You humbled me when I did deserve it! ~~~ Photos from Friday morning, January 15
