Stay Grounded…

This week I've tried to write all three of my posts with the same mindset. Last week I spent more time watching the news and commentary on the news than I have in a long time (it was everywhere I looked). As, I suggested Tuesday I find my peace in pausing. Often with the word … Continue reading Stay Grounded…

Pants For Water

A scripture I came across (I do not remember where) is Psalm 56:8, "You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?" I like Tony Evans' commentary on this verse: "David's tears would not escape God's notice." I truly believe I am loved by the … Continue reading Pants For Water

Deer Fawns Again

A couple of weeks ago I posted some backyard critters and in it were some deer fawn photos I took at my office. Most days the deer are in the office yard right now. The other day there were quite a few back there so I slipped out the front door to get my camera … Continue reading Deer Fawns Again

Back To His Table

I'm re-reading a book I read a while back right now. It is Don't Give The Enemy A Seat At Your Table by Louie Giglio. I read chapter 4 this morning and it hit me straight in the teeth. My pastor, Rob Leonard, at Pauline Baptist Church has challenged the church to start memorizing scripture. … Continue reading Back To His Table

It’s The NAME

As I mentioned it was back in 1996 that I met Jesus as my savior. From that moment I was changed! No more fear of death (as a kid death was a constant fear). I was changed in a moment. I called his name, I am washed by His blood, I am forgiven, I am … Continue reading It’s The NAME

The Racoons

I went for a drive hoping for some photograph opportunities. It was in the middle of the day before I got out, not ideal for photos with the harsh lighting but I went anyway. As I was driving I could see something up ahead walking down the side of the road, I thought it was … Continue reading The Racoons

The Rock

I think back to my times in the hospital. The times I've been there either before or after surgeries it wasn't a fear of death that got me down but a fear of a changed life. But as I would get down someone would come to encourage me. I usually didn't recognize the encouragement as … Continue reading The Rock

Independence!

It's The 4th of July, Independence Day... The 4th has always been a time for my family to get together. I just wish it was cooler weather! I've got a couple of family get togethers today. I won't say much but wanted to wish you a Happy Fourth Of July! https://youtu.be/tcs6HLKz_aQ?si=pIjW55JvWdC0EI-t&t=51

Flowers After A Summer Shower

A few days ago I went out to the garden after a quick summer rain shower with my camera in hand on the purpose of taking a few flower pictures with water dripping off. But first an outing to my garden without rain/water on the flowers for a few pictures a couple days later... I … Continue reading Flowers After A Summer Shower

Quick Outing Before It Gets Hot!

Saturday morning I got out early and went out to Lake Monticello before the heat hit with the rising sun! I wasn't out there long before I started to sweat. I did get a few photos but before I share those I want to share a bit of encouragement... https://youtu.be/uHz0w-HG4iU?si=ltezWs1ivCJoUpjs The other day the song … Continue reading Quick Outing Before It Gets Hot!
