Sunday, February 2 ~~~ Sunday school – Subject: Single-minded Obedience – Matthew 4:1-11 – Teacher: John Diffenderfer How do we stand up to daily temptation? “God would rather that we make a daily commitment than a yearly resolution.” Jesus’ commitment to bring salvation to us meant He did not turn His back on God – […]

Saturday, January 25 We arrived early – 3:30 pm – for the 4:00 pm seminar and had time to check out the displays and vendors. The photo above is the stage where hunters brought their trophies. This was a photo from the stage as people checked out vendors in the auditorium. Mike Fedora and his […]
Saturday, January 25 It was a wet morning. The blue jays were hungry for peanuts. This one seemed to be telling me that there were no peanuts. I refilled the box with peanuts – and the jays were back. Not so wet by this time. The female cardinal also came looking for food, but stayed […]
Friday, January 24 Never miss the blessing of having an opportunity to observe a new painting on God’s canvas every morning. When I looked at my feet, I noticed that some hyacinths are already pushing through the ground. They may see some brutal weather yet this winter – before it is time for them to […]
Wednesday, January 22 We left home shortly after 6:30 am – with a five-and-a-half-hour-drive ahead of us. Our goal was to arrive at the funeral home about 12:30 pm for the 1:00 pm funeral. We figured that by giving ourselves six hours we would have time for a quick McDonalds brunch and a fuel stop. […]
Monday Evening, January 20 Red Lobster was Morgan’s choice for her 2020 birthday date with us. The cheese biscuits were warm and DELICIOUS. We could have made a meal out of them. After our meals arrived I experimented with the lighting – because the room was fairly dark. I liked this one best. Our waitress […]
Monday, January 20 My camera says it was 8:09 am when I took this picture of a male Red-bellied Woodpecker enjoying some suet for breakfast. Little did I know what fun I would have watching a bird fight during the next four minutes – after a European Starling decided he also wanted to have breakfast […]
Sunday Morning, January 19 By Sunday morning the snow had ended, and the landscape was covered with icy snow.

Mother died rather suddenly 46 years ago after a two-week illness. She was 52. I was 30 and pregnant with our youngest child, Deb. This picture was taken on the day she married our dad. Precious Memories!
Friday Evening, January 17 What fun to spend the evening with Cerwin’s sisters (Velda – closest to camera) and Doris and their husbands Mel and Bob at Lititz Family Cupboard. Cerwin’s brother, Elvin, had outpatient surgery that day and could not join us. Bob and Doris were visiting from Minnesota – to attend his parents […]
Wednesday, January 15 I love the individual beauty of each morning. Each morning let me learn more about your love because I trust you. I come to you in prayer, asking for your guidance.

Wednesday, January 15 and Thursday, January 16 Anthony (great-grandson) and I created a “trucking business” during the few hours he was here each day (we kept the business set up in the living room overnight), plus we did a bit of school in his kindergarten workbook. Nathaniel and Abby are homeschooling him. Anthony’s fleet of […]
Monday, January 13 Even the moon was pretty – through a cloudy haze
