Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tonight’s entry includes two more features from last week’s disaster relief auction. The pole barn auction was held at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. This auction includes some unique items – and is usually a great place to get a good deal. These made me smile. The book “How to Get Running Water in Your Home – On Your Farm” […]
and the One Who saves me. Whom should I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom should I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 (New Life Version)
These are special items that are not sold on auction. Country Treasurers is like shopping at a craft store. Some of the ladies and girls who volunteer at Country Treasures. A few nice items for sale. You can write your bid – and increase it – many times throughout the day. Orpha does a […]
Deuteronomy 30:19 (Good News Translation)
Gift baskets are popular items at this event. I am always amazed at everyone’s creativity in designing these basket arrangements. If you are not familiar with gift basket auctions, the baskets usually contain items that go together. Many people check out the contents and attend the auction.
and do what you know is right. Some people have not done this, and their faith is now in ruins. 1 Timothy 1:19 (Easy-to-Read Version)
There are a nice variety of activities for the children at this two-day event. I always enjoy watching children’s auctions because the children do not try to hide the fact that they are bidding. They just hold their number in the air until they are finished bidding. It takes a good auctioneer to conduct […]
a wicked life is a puny life. Proverbs 10:27 (The Message)
There was no time to post yesterday, so I just chose a favorite picture from my large store of BDRA pictures. This was a framed photo in the Silent Auction

I went to Lebanon Fairgrounds early yesterday to capture some pictures of the heifer auction which started at 11:00 a.m. As I approached the last pole barn, it was obvious that the heifer auction had begun. Some people were still getting auction numbers. Heifers were being prepared for auction. I watched as several heifers (many pregnant […]

If you are in the Lebanon, Pennsylvania, area, you won’t want to miss this event (Friday and Saturday) at Lebanon Expo Center where lots of money will be raised for Brethren Disaster Relief. I just got home from taking a few pictures of the late morning and early afternoon happenings. The quilt auction will […]
Ask God to bless them and give them what they need. And give thanks. 1 Timothy 2:1 (Easy-to-Read Version)
Monday, September 23 – the evening before Jere’s forty-fourth birthday. We went to The Loft (Jere’s choice) in downtown Lancaster where our children took us for our anniversary dinner last week. This time our table was positioned along a wall where I had a good view of the attractive raftered ceiling where there is beautiful, healthy-looking greenery. I […]
and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 (New Living Translation)
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. […]
as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Colossians 3:23 (New Living Translation)
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 […]
I have appeared to you for a reason. I am appointing you to serve Me. You are to tell My story and how you have now seen Me, and you are to continue to tell the story in the future. Acts 26:16 (The Voice)
We love you! Daddy & Mother
Jason and Renita and their family graciously host this show of trucks and cars. They do a great job of making a truck shop look attractive for the day visitors. Jason’s truck was looking good – as usual. Their family is also involved in Ride Free Ministries and enjoy watching their boys ride motocross bikes. The […]
slow to speak and slow to become angry. James 1:19 (New International Version)

that’s how freedom grows. Galatians 5:13 (The Message)
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!
O Lord my God, You are very great. You are dressed with great honor and wonderful power. Psalm 104:1 (New Life Version)
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.
Ephesians 6:10 (New Life Version)
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 […]
