Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
~~~ Saturday Evening, March 25 ~~~ This is the rest of the story to those of you who listened to my message at Ladies Fellowship earlier in the day. Many of you will recognize our friend Sam Rittenhouse (left) but you may not know our friend Penny. Penny was part of an illustration when I […]

~~~ Saturday, March 25 ~~~ It was late last fall when I said yes to speaking at this event at our home church. This was the invitation that went out earlier this year. It’s amazing how quickly an event arrives when you are invested in studying and speaking. 🙂 I arrived early to get some […]
Many of my family, church family and friends knew I was preparing to speak at White Oak Church’s Ladies Fellowship Brunch on Saturday, March 25 and had been sending emails, messages, calling or telling me in person that they were praying for me. I was especially blessed when our daughter-in-law Kristen stopped in on March […]
~~~ Thursday Evening, March 23 7:32 pm ~~~ It’s been a while since we heard the sound of thunder – especially at night. This may look a bit like snow, but it is rain. I captured the shot by using a flash. 🙂
~~~ Monday, March 20 3:19 am ~~~ I should have known that one of our neighborhood raccoons would show up because I just filled the feeders and suet. It almost totally cleaned up one suet then ate the extra stuff that fell on the ground. They certainly have the look of a bandit. 🙂 The […]
~~~ Monday, March 20 6:07 pm ~~~ It was certainly worth going outside to capture these pictures of the western sky. It almost looked like fire in the sky. As I walked back toward the house, I noticed how pretty the patio daffodils looked with the evening sun on them. Then I made the mistake […]

~~~ Sunday, March 19 ~~~ Following morning worship, our congregation was blessed to install two new couples to serve us as deacons. They were voted to this office about a year ago.

~~~ Monday, March 13 3:00 pm ~~~ For some reason I didn’t see their change in color this year. I often notice the molt that changes the male goldfinch from a dull yellowish green to this brilliant yellow. So, imagine my surprise when I looked out the window and saw this beautiful bird. A few […]
~~~ Saturday, March 11 11:00 am Olive Garden ~~~ Because Roy’s sister Mary was visiting from Florida we planned this lunch to see her and honor Roy’s retirement. You know you are getting old when one of your sons-in-law is retired. He said he is loving every minute of retirement. Gotta love an Olive Garden […]
~~~ Thursday Evening, March 9 Shady Maple 6:30 pm ~~~ If I remember correctly Lanny told us there were more than 470 people who registered for the banquet and we didn’t see many empty seats. Shady Maple is known for their good and plentiful food – and we weren’t disappointed. We heard from several people […]
~~~ Thursday, March 9 ~~~ A sure sign that spring is coming.
These are a few samples of feather designs from birds that were at our feeders in the past few weeks. God was so creative when he designed birds.
