I started this blog entry in May, but never finished it. It's been such an unsettled year with so many changes and setbacks that I just stopped doing just about everything. It's depressing. Summer heat swept in in May and stayed all summer long, along with smoke and ash all across Northern California. I have… Continue reading GARDENING AND OTHER EVENTS
Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. It is good to take time to reflect on things and events in… Continue reading REFLECTIONS
Gen. 2:7 "Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being." We are a three part being: we are spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. Our body was formed from the dust of… Continue reading REDEMPTION AND A RAINBOW
New trees, hollyhocks, raised bed garden; all are doing very well. The zucchini are starting to produce, the tomatoes are getting ready to ripen. The crooked neck squash almost ready to start harvesting and the peppers just beginning to produce. All are doing very well. I am very pleased with my raised bed garden. Last… Continue reading MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY; HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Gen. 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." We live in a society that likes to think that the world created itself. They imagine millions of years during which time everything slowly became. They reason that one atom multiplied and created...something, which then changed and created something...else? Well, sounds fishy to… Continue reading WHO IS LORD?
Although spring wasn't officially here, according to the calendar, until March 20th, here in Northern California we have had spring like weather since January. We kept waiting for winter to arrive and it did in the mountains around us and northward to Oregon and Washington state, but here in the valley temperatures stayed mostly above… Continue reading SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!
I had a great dad. He was a long way from being a perfect man, but he was a great father. There were four of us: three daughters and the youngest of us, a son. My dad loved us all, and never one more than another. As each of us grew from infancy to adulthood,… Continue reading CONNECTING WITH THE FATHER’S HEART
All through 2020 we have waited for things to go back to normal; to return to the way things used to be. But, more and more, I am realizing that things are never going to go back to the way they were. It's a changed world, and it's not just COVID. We are now living… Continue reading NABOTH’S VINEYARD
I have been sitting here thinking about the events of this past week and feeling discouraged and disappointed. Don't get me wrong; I have not lost faith or hope, but I never thought I would see the level of lies, misinformation, propaganda, slander, libel and just plain ignorance bouncing around the air waves, through the… Continue reading COUNTING THE COST
I just read a story by a wise woman that reminded me of a story that happened to my mother long, long ago. My cat, who was living at my parent's home, brought a mouse into my mother's house and dropped the mouse on my mother's foot. She began to scream and jump and yelled… Continue reading THE UNWANTED GIFT
