Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Though our yard need lots of care to prepare it for the summer, we have a lot of springtime beauty – like the pretty pear blossoms. We will have many pretty tulips later, but this one is blooming early. Our forsythia bush is never the prettiest in the country, but there are some pretty blooms. […]
There were ten services beginning Sunday morning, March 26 and ending on Sunday Evening, April 2 Evangelist: Dustin Martin – one of our own ministers. The title for the series was, Searching for Meaning in a Desperate World. I took my camera along on Friday evening to capture a picture of a children’s story, not […]
I recently had my deer stitching framed and gave it to our daughter Deb. I have stitched a photo of each of our 17 grandchildren and since Roy and Deb don’t have children, I asked her to send me a few photos that she would like me to stitch. This is the photo she sent […]
I love to see bursting buds this time of year. They are a great sign of new life. I took these pictures in Lanny and Debbie’s yard where we met Sam Rittenhouse before going to the play, High Cotton (previous post). Sam now makes his home with them (his daughter). If I remember correctly, these […]
~~~ Sunday, March 26 5:00 pm ~~~ Sam Rittenhouse invited us and Inge to attend the play High Cotton by The Promise Players at Lampeter Church of the Brethren. Sam’s daughter Debbie and her husband Lanny were part of this production, both playing background people this time. The two Newsies often had announcements for the […]
We have been privileged to see deer and geese from the window of our house in the past few days – then there were hoof prints in a flowerbed. You may say, “Big deal.” We see deer and geese all the time. However, we rarely see them from our house. We are wondering if the […]

~~~ Saturday Evening, March 25 ~~~ This is the rest of the story to those of you who listened to my message at Ladies Fellowship earlier in the day. Many of you will recognize our friend Sam Rittenhouse (left) but you may not know our friend Penny. Penny was part of an illustration when I […]

~~~ Saturday, March 25 ~~~ It was late last fall when I said yes to speaking at this event at our home church. This was the invitation that went out earlier this year. It’s amazing how quickly an event arrives when you are invested in studying and speaking. 🙂 I arrived early to get some […]
Many of my family, church family and friends knew I was preparing to speak at White Oak Church’s Ladies Fellowship Brunch on Saturday, March 25 and had been sending emails, messages, calling or telling me in person that they were praying for me. I was especially blessed when our daughter-in-law Kristen stopped in on March […]
~~~ Thursday Evening, March 23 7:32 pm ~~~ It’s been a while since we heard the sound of thunder – especially at night. This may look a bit like snow, but it is rain. I captured the shot by using a flash. 🙂
~~~ Monday, March 20 3:19 am ~~~ I should have known that one of our neighborhood raccoons would show up because I just filled the feeders and suet. It almost totally cleaned up one suet then ate the extra stuff that fell on the ground. They certainly have the look of a bandit. 🙂 The […]
~~~ Monday, March 20 6:07 pm ~~~ It was certainly worth going outside to capture these pictures of the western sky. It almost looked like fire in the sky. As I walked back toward the house, I noticed how pretty the patio daffodils looked with the evening sun on them. Then I made the mistake […]
~~~ Monday, March 20 7:58 am ~~~ It’s always interesting to see what will happen in the field across the road from us. It appears that something is being sprayed on the field. We just watch and wait – and enjoy. Notice the cherry tree in our yard is budding (upper right). The dogwood tree […]
~~~ Sunday, March 19 ~~~ Following morning worship, our congregation was blessed to install two new couples to serve us as deacons. They were voted to this office about a year ago. In this photo our moderator, Dave Wenger, is asking them the questions that apply to serving as deacon couples. Left: Tanya and Cole […]
