Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Monday, February 8 There was a card and whoopie pie on our counter when I woke up at 5:30 am – a gift from Jere and Kristen’s family. I expect that Jere dropped it off on his way to work. Dale (my oldest brother-but younger than me) and Dot stopped in just before 9:00 am […]
Thursday, February 4 Cerwin came home from the grocery store with two beautiful bouquets of flowers. He and I enjoy roses, but since they can be rather short-lived, he also bought some daisies that he thought would survive longer. 🙂 Friday, February 5 We took a mailing to the post office, went to Village Market […]

Blame has been going on since the beginning of time. Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent. It continued throughout the Bible. It continued through the ages. It continues today. Is it God’s fault when His children make a bad choice – when God made it clear in His Word that certain things are bad […]
Sometimes I wake up before dawn. I love sitting up in the middle of the bed with the lights off, pitch-black dark, and talking to the Father, with no interruptions and nothing that reminds me that there’s anything in life but me and Him. Charles R. Swindoll Always watch the sunrise with an open heart. […]
We love you! Grandpa and Grandma High
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. […]
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 […]
Monday, February 1 and Tuesday, February 2 During the height of the storm we could barely see the farm. Looking toward the neighbor’s house behind us. Junco Dove Monday seemed like a good day to bake cinnamon rolls – out of a package. 🙂 Junco on a shepherd’s hook In the dipper part of our […]
Truckers with a “dedicated run” have the same pick up and delivery place every week.
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. Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking. Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, and climbing hills. Learn to like people, even though some […]

It was a productive and interesting week. Sunday – Shortly before church we received a phone call from our son Jeff saying that we have a new great grandson – Drake Maverick. See A New Great Grandchild! – My Journey – by Doris High. After church we were invited to our friends Jesse and Martha’s […]
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.
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 […]
