In My Father’s House
March 11, 2023
Poetry is an odd thing. It springs up at the strangest moments! This morning while doing my devotions on Psalm 23, I was inspired! The booklet that I’m using suggested writing out the psalm in my own words, and for the last verse I wrote: “There is absolutely no doubt that Your goodness—all those wonderful … More In My Father’s House

The One Word Difference

Our Heavenly Home
July 7, 2016
Dorothy really did get it right—there’s no place like home! Last week, we returned home after traveling nearly 2,500 miles, through nine states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota (our point of GREAT interest—but that’s another post!), Missouri, and Kentucky. What a wonderful country I am privileged to call home, and we didn’t … More Our Heavenly Home
LOST!
September 18, 2014
On Monday, my husband and I spend part of the morning looking for a wallet. It had been left on the trunk of a car, along with a Bible. The Bible was found—sadly in several pieces, but the wallet is still missing. I took a rake with me on my hunt to sift through the high … More LOST!

October 5, 2013
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. Psalm 19:1-4 … More God’s Ultimate Creation – Our Ultimate Sacrifice
Welcome Home!

Nathan’s home!! Whoopee!! He’s been away at college, for those of you who don’t already know, and that means he’s twelve hours away; but now he’s here! A strange phenomenon happens when he comes home: I miss him while he’s gone, believe me, but once he’s home, I realize just how much I REALLY missed … More Welcome Home!
The Shadow!
August 23, 2012
“For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.“ 1Ch 29:15 A fond memory I have as a child, is of making shadow images on the wall. I was never very good at it, but it always amazed … More The Shadow!
In a Fog
May 5, 2012
The past twenty-four hours has been as bazaar as this spring’s weather! We picked up Nathan, our youngest, near Harrisburg at 5:00 AM. (I will not miss that part of these college days!) As I was driving into Williamsport, the fog was unbelievable. Usually, you come to a scenic area as you head north on … More In a Fog
