and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 (New Living Translation)
Critter Pictures
I won’t need many words to show that these animals are loved and well cared for once they get to Roy and Deb’s house. When the trucker heard that he lost two baby ducks, he was surprised that they were alive. They must have fallen off the truck at the same time to be discovered together. […]
Work willingly at whatever you do
as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Colossians 3:23 (New Living Translation)
Lunch at RD’s
There were multiple reasons why we and Jere and Kristen’s family met Roy and Deb at RD’s for lunch after church on Sunday. 1. It is a new restaurant in Roy and Deb’s area. 2. I had some things that needed to be returned to Deb (they live about an hour away from us). 3. Deb twisted her knee […]

Beautiful Flowers
The other day when Tiffani came to my office to work on a project for youth retreat, she brought a beautiful flower arrangement. She said that her mother was looking for someone to bless because they had so many pretty flowers. I do love being blessed! Thanks Dorinda and Tiffani!

I Can’t Resist a Beautiful Sunset
The other evening when I was in the kitchen, cleaning up after supper, I noticed a yellow glow and went to investigate. I had fun experimenting with camera settings. It was certainly a beautiful close to the day.
Be strong with the Lord’s strength.
Ephesians 6:10 (New Life Version)
Anniversary Lunch at the TFC Office
We were honored to be invited to the TFC Office for an anniversary lunch. Monday, September 16 Before going to the office, I stopped at the shop to see what Cerwin was doing. He was working outside the chapel they are building for Hudson, Wisconsin, so I asked him to go inside and “pretend” that he […]
Be careful what you say.
1 Peter 3:10 (The Voice)
The View From Our Window Has Changed
We have been looking at tall, beautiful corn all summer. This year we were surrounded by corn fields. It is kind of nice, because it gives us a feeling of isolation. That began to change on Monday morning. We again have a window with a view – if we look to the south. At this point nothing […]
Remember what Christ taught
and let his words enrich your lives and make you wise. Colossians 3:16 (Living Bible)

Our 50th Wedding Anniversary – Continued
Roy and Deb were our chauffeurs to The Loft in downtown Lancaster. (Jere and Kristen took us home.)

Reminders of My Childhood
When I walked outside this morning, this scene took me back to my early teen years when I enjoyed reading Harold Bell Wright books. I loved how he described the light coming through the trees in the Ozarks. He described it so well that I could almost see it and feel it. After school […]
