should live the same kind of life Christ lived. 1 John 2:6 (New Life Version)
We were up really early on Saturday morning, October 12 – like 3:30 a.m. – so we could leave the house by 4:30, be at the TFC office by 5:00, and leave with International Chapel #2 shortly thereafter. It was still dark when we arrived at Menges Diner at 6:00 a.m. – where the prayer breakfast and bake sale […]
that it is impossible to explain his decisions or to understand his ways. Romans 11:33 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
I am not sure how to connect these pictures of pumpkins and birds, but these are what I have left over after going through and posting my pictures from the first week of October. ~~~ The Pumpkins I took this picture at a place of business just because I thought it was an attractive fall decoration. ~~~ The Birds Male […]
He is a fortress in the day of trouble. He knows those who seek shelter in him. Nahum 1:7 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
A yellow glow outside our house windows entices me to grab my camera. Our little valley is especially beautiful at sunset. I liked how the sun was setting on the neighbor’s buildings. It has been an interesting fall. The leaves are changing gradually – and some are already falling. The source of the yellow glow on this […]
Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about. Philippians 4:8 (Living Bible)
The other week (October 7-10) we thought that it may never stop raining. About the time we thought there was going to be a break in the weather, it began to rain all over again. The Manheim Farm Show even had to cancel some of its activities. We do not live in an area that floods, […]
and that you will have joy as you wait and do not give up. Colossians 1:11 (New Life Version)
The chapel under construction – for Hudson, Wisconsin – is moving along quickly. The ceiling was finished in mid-September. When the interior was finished to Cerwin’s satisfaction (early October), he took the trailer to Mev Weaver’s for sandblasting and painting – and to Cerwin’s surprise, Merv called him yesterday that it is finished. Wow! Cerwin didn’t expect […]
and her wages are better than gold. Proverbs 3:14 (New Living Translation)
Presented by Manheim Community Farm Show Saturday evening, October 5 Our original plan for the day was to take our friend Gerald along on a bus trip to Quecreek Mine and the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93, but the trip was cancelled due to the government shutdown, so we went with Plan B – supper at Kountry Kitchen […]
Philippians 1:27 (Contemporary English Version)
We love you! Grandpa & Grandma
These pictures were all taken from our yard during the past few weeks – in a variety of directions. I love being outside on a warm fall morning when the early light is coming through the trees. It is different every morning. A foggy morning. When I am outside at noon I like to look up to see what is happening […]
Time and again it has been proven true. Psalm 119:140 (Easy-to-Read Version)
Flame Seared Steak du jour Fresh Salad Greens Vegetable du jour Dessert – Chef’s choice Date & Time to be Determined by Buyer (April thru September 2013) This is what our daughter bid on at a benefit auction last fall – and chose us to be the other two people who would enjoy this meal. […]
and let him be the foundation for your life. Colossians 2:7 (Contemporary English Version)
Saturday Evening, September 28 This reunion – on the last Saturday of September each year – is something we always look forward to, partly because of the good food and partly because of the great fun we have together. Most of those in attendance are first cousins (and their spouses) – children of Cerwin’s mother and her siblings, […]
this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines. Acts 17:24 (The Message)
This is the wide view of where I took the close-up photos on my nature walk a few weeks ago when waiting for a truck show to begin. The first few were taken along the woods on the far left. Oh, the scent of honeysuckle! This dead tree and the greenery around it caught my attention. […]
Strength and joy are where he is. 1 Chronicles 16:27 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Saturday, September 21 There was a small creek at the bottom of the hill. There was more goldenrod beyond the fence, but it was time to cross the road and make my way back to the truck show that was about to begin. Come along. It is a warm, beautiful day. It was fun discovering […]
he abundantly provides safety and great wisdom; he gives all this to those who fear him. Isaiah 33:5-6 (New English Translation)
This is one of my favorite things to do – take a walk on a nice day and look for and photograph things that most of us miss when we take a broad view of the scenery around us. This was my broad view – a few weeks ago when we were at a truck […]
and he lives in us. And this is how we experience his deep and abiding presence in us: by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:24 (The Message)
As I went through the final pictures from the auction (September 27 & 28) I discovered I missed entering one that should have been with the main auction pictures on Saturday morning… Opening devotions by Paul Brubaker – Pastor at Middle Creek Church of the Brethren, Lititz, Pennsylvania. The quilt auction is a highlight of the two days and […]
