This morning, while my husband and I were praying in the living room, a loud bang at the window got our attention. We looked at each other, wondering what it was. “Do you think it was a bird,” I asked. Tom went out onto the porch, and there lying on the ground was a little … More Birdie, Birdie in My Window
They looked to me for leadership, even though I did not want it – didn’t deserve it; however, He was gone and I had been the one to lead. Gone!

After the demise of our first rooster, we were “roosterless” for quite some time. As the months passed, a dear friend gave us another rooster; however by then, the hens were fully grown and our new rooster was just a banty rooster (which means he was small). When we put him in the pen, the … More Draw Nigh to God

Once upon a time there was a pipe named Pip. He was not anything fancy – just a large metal pipe. Pip lay at the foundry with the other pieces waiting for the day he would be useful. One day, the men from the foundry loaded all the piping onto a truck. Pip was so … More Pip and Pop
A week ago, we were on our way to South Carolina for the main purpose of hearing our son Nathan’s piano recital. We stopped in Virginia for a short visit with Tom’s family and then arrived at our destination on Friday afternoon. After a wonderful visit (and AWESOME recital!!!), we drove the twelve hour trip … More Can I Trust Him?
A wonderful thing about living on the top of a mountain is that it snows almost every day! They’re not major snows, just enough to make things pretty; however, yesterday’s snow squalls turned out to be an all-day snow, and the predicted one inch eventually turned into four!
