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 […]

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 […]

where Christ holds the highest position. Colossians 3:1 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
I always enjoy this auction, because it’s when some of the really interesting items are sold. I would have loved to own this hand carved bird by Ned. However, the bidding quickly went to $1,000.00 and eventually sold for $2,200. This duck brought $1,300.00. The chickadee brought $950.00. Enjoy some of the other items for sale. One of […]

Come before him with happy songs! Psalm 100:2 (Easy-to-Read Version)
I will start with the Farmers Produce Market. Those who like fresh produce enjoy this area of West Hall. Next to it – as you walk toward Center Hall – are the delicious canned goods. The Children’s area is a fun place for parents and children. It’s also where the children come for amazing face painting designs. The Markley’s always […]
whose power is at work in us. By this power he can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
West Hall is a popular stopping place for those who attend the Disaster Relief Auction. There are lots of homemade goodies. Cerwin asked me to bring a pie home – and there were many choices. I bought a raisin crumb pie. It was delicious. This young man has displayed his hot pads in West Hall […]
They are more desirable than gold. They are sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb. Psalm 19:9-10 (Living Bible)
This is just a sampling of the food that was available at the BDRA last weekend. Some food items were available throughout both days, while other meals were at set times. I received permission to go inside the sausage sandwich stand. It looked and smelled delicious. As I approached the French fry stand, I noticed my […]
