New Growth in the Back Part of Our Yard

Marked
Marked: Having an identifying mark; an object of attack, suspicion, or vengeance. We have an ash tree that has been marked by PPL (our electric company) as possibly dangerous to their electric lines. We expect they will come by before long and take it down.

Update – From Cape Town to Hoedspruit
We had an interesting flight from Cape Town to Hoedspruit Airport. We flew for an hour and a half over barren landscape. I can’t wait to show you the Hoedspruit Airport. The runway is long and winding – to chase the animals off of it. We saw a few monkeys – vervets. Phil and Kate […]
A Day of Feeling Blessed
Thursday, February 8 – My 74th Birthday Following a stop at TFC’s International Office, Cerwin took me to Gus’s for lunch. I got a cup of mushroom soup – delicious.

Amish Wedding in the Neighborhood
Tuesday Morning, November 14 We knew there was going to be an Amish wedding in our neighborhood, and when I heard the sound of horses and buggies I knew, November 14 was the day. By 8:00 am I began seeing the Amish arriving in vans. Those who came from a distance hired van drivers. By […]
Supper with Jordan
Wednesday, October 4 This meal was a gift to Jordan for his 2017 birthday – which was in August. I like to take at least one posed picture of our grandchildren per year – for their birthdays and for my refrigerator. It was a nice evening and he was at our house early – so […]

Auction Items at Brethren Disaster Relief Auction

While she finished gathering beans, I went to her basement pantry to show you her canning shelves. Outside again – their Mexican Heather is beautiful She filled her bucket. Cerwin and I soon had the beans snapped […]
An Attitude of Celebration
An Attitude of Celebration Doris High I often think about the attitude of celebration during holidays, birthdays, and events that bring cause for celebration – and the many who refuse to celebrate. However, what triggered this article was reading the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:28 when the older son refused to celebrate. […]
Gospel Music Festival – Part 1
Friday Evening, September 1 – American Music Theatre, Lancaster, PA Triumphant Quartet opened the evening with God Bless America (or was it our National Anthem). I forget. I did not write down the name of this very talented man who opened with prayer and lead an audience song. When he led audience singing, he reminded […]
Creation Museum – Part 2
