Saturday, March 15 My view of people as I walked toward the quilt tent.

After visiting the quilt tent, I again walked through the […]

and remember Christ’s patient endurance. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 (Easy-to-Read Version)
These pictures didn’t quite fit into the baby shower pictures, but this is what we saw at the entrance to the barn – which is on the property of an excavating business. Cerwin thought it looked like something that was pulled by horses and used in a stone quarry. Does anyone know what it is? […]

To whom or what can you compare him? Some no-god idol? Ridiculous! It’s made in a workshop, cast in bronze, Given a thin veneer of gold, and draped with silver filigree. Isaiah 40:18-19 (The Message)
The other morning I was drawn to the outside when I saw the yellow glow of the sunrise, but what captured my attention was the sun’s reflection on the snow. It looked like a pool of gold. That evening the sunset created more beautiful reflections on the late winter snow. I am grateful for eyes to see […]

Friday, February 28 Harrisburg Farm Show Complex and Expo Center The little guy in red looked like he may have only been 8-10 years old. He was a great horseman. We think the others in the arena at the same time – with the same breed of horses were his family. These pictures were also […]

Friday, February 28 Harrisburg Farm Show Complex and Expo Center This came about because Gloria had not come to a decision as to what she wanted to do for her birthday – which was in December. When I saw this event advertised, I immediately thought of her – and she loved the idea of going. […]
