A Pleasantville Beauty
Today starts the September Birthday Season. Uncle Bob, Grandma’s twin brother has been gone now for quite a while. However, to be absent here means he is with his Lord and Savior in heaven. Great-Grandpa Arla lived into his 90s and we are all grateful for the time we had listening to him as youngsters.…

Sunday Thoughts
Last week when I realized I couldn’t make it to Church because I was still sick I wanted to cry. So when I was able to walk through the doors this morning I was overwhelmed by the goodness of God’s blessings. So, today, warmed my heart in so many ways I didn’t think it was…

Relating Yesterday’s Photo’s: The Books
Collecting books is awesome. Especially when the books came with a story or that people had me in mind when they saw a certain book.

Loving Words… Feedback
Yesterday was a big day for me. Back when I was in college I day-dreamed of being able to have all of my Grandpa’s siblings together to talk about his service time. It was important to me and I did get to speak individually to some of them, but not necessarily the way I wanted…

Decisions…
How do you make your decisions? Do you have a process or is it decided on the magnitude of the question? Do you fight with God in the direction your life is taking? Back in December I was going through a lot emotionally, physically and spiritually. I kept asking myself what God’s purpose was for…

Wow! What A Sunday!
The Lord truly… works… in mysterious ways. Today was a culmination of literally about 9 months of signs from God to wake me up. The amount of intricate working the Lord does in one’s heart and mind for His glory is incredible. Honestly… I am still digesting the events of my day. Yesterday was a…

Family Growing Together
Just as my Dad’s family was ingrained into a local congregation so was my Mom’s family. In fact there was an old building right beside the Church which was the one-room school house. My mom remembers when it was torn down and wishes they had done more to stop that from happening. Life happens though…
