Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
We are going to be great-grandparents again! This is how we learned the good news – at the Hershey Christmas Brunch at the end of December. This is how Nathaniel, Abby, and Anthony announced it to the “world of Facebook” yesterday. Our hearts are smiling for them.
Friday, January 18 Because life has been slowly returning to a new normal for Josiah, there wasn’t a lot to report in recent weeks, but there were a few major changes for him this week. We also hear from friends and readers – asking how he is doing. Josiah went to his orthopedic surgeon on […]
January 13 We had a pretty drive to church on Sunday morning. You can see a bit of our church building on the upper right. A few notes from our sermon by Dave Wenger How Many Ways Are There to God? Our minds are continually searching for answers to life, like, how and why am […]
Thursday, January 10 Clockwise starting on the left: Ruth, Carol, Mike, Inge, Ron, Bunny, Cerwin, my empty seat, and Joanna. TFC’s International Office staff attended a meeting at the Marietta office to hear the goals and challenges that our new president, Ron Fraser, has for the ministry. We appreciate his goal – that we continue […]
This photo was taken a few days ago – Wednesday, January 9. I try not to take sunrises for granted, but know I do, because daytime always happens – even when it is cloudy and we cannot see the sun or a beautiful sky. Do you ever wonder how God did that? How He decided […]
I want to be like that – brave and strong. It is my goal to never give up – to never stop praying. It is my goal to never stop trusting in the power of God.
Pictures from Tuesday, January 8 and Wednesday, January 9 Winter can have some dreary, cold days – and we had several days like that this week. There was a coating of sleet everywhere. The trees looked bare and the sky was gray. Back to the ground and the sleet in our yard. There isn’t much […]
Monday, January 7 I’m not a big fan of the taste of venison – mule deer or whitetail – so do my best to camouflage the taste when I make it. 🙂 My favorite way of making a venison steak is to cube it, fry it with bit of onion and sweet pepper, then when […]
Sunday, January 6 I love seeing the sun streaking through clouds. This is what happened when I focused my camera on the dark cloud.
Isn’t it amazing that sunsets are never the same? Saturday, January 5 was a beautiful evening. On the way back to the house I noticed a squirrel’s nest near the top of one of our tall trees. (just left of center) I know why I didn’t notice it during summertime – because of the leaves […]
It is not too unusual to see wrens at our feeders, but I particularly enjoy when they come to the window feeder. I enjoy seeing their chubby, short body and distinctive beak. They are particularly fun – and noisy – to watch in summertime when they are building a nest.
We picked up our canvas pictures today to put a more complete look to the Africa wall in our garage. Perfect Image did a great job on them. This is what we see when we pull our car into the garage. It makes us smile and remember our trip to South Africa in March 2018. […]
Thursday Evening, January 3 The Log Cabin was Nate’s choice for his 2018 birthday. It was a bit late (his birthday was last summer), but there was their wedding and a lot of other stuff going in the past few months. This isn’t far from our house, and even closer to Nate and Lauree’s place. […]
Starlings are not as pretty as bluebirds, but it is still fun to watch one of God’s amazing creations.
During a morning conversation, my sister, Nancy, and I discovered we were both hungry for pork and sauerkraut, so Cerwin and I took them out for an early lunch – a get-well-gift to them as Marlin is recently home from a hospital stay due to heart issues. Doctors concluded that open heart is too risky […]
