Peace – Jesus Has Come!

December 22, 2020 by admin 16 Comments

Peace Has Come At Last Mandatory vaccines. Fraudulent elections. Crooked politicians. Russian Collusion. Anything but peace, eh? What a time to be alive. My grandma Emily was sure she would witness Jesus coming in the clouds of Glory and taking her home to heaven. Her body failed her and she died of natural causes at… [Read More]

LOVE – the Second Week of Advent

December 8, 2020 by admin 8 Comments

All We Need Is Love ♫ But, is it? What we need is Truth, spoken in LOVE. But love by itself? Can get us in a world of trouble. If my dear grandmother Emily hadn’t spoke truth in love to me thirty-seven years ago I would probably still be slopping around in the pig pen…. [Read More]

December 1, 2020 by admin 20 Comments

Celebrate Advent! We don’t have one of those clever Advent calendars with chocolate candy or felt figures but we do have a December calendar and know it is the beginning of the Great Advent of Jesus Christ.

Light

December 10, 2019 by admin 16 Comments

Light

Light Sunday’s message was titled, “Light It Up.” I’ve been thinking about it as I always do, for days afterward. During the message the Pastor asked everyone to stay in their seats and not move around, then, he asked the production people to turn off all the lights in the sanctuary. For a brief moment… [Read More]

Vision Every gardener, every writer, has a vision. Vision
Every gardener, every writer, has a vision. In gardening we envision fresh salads, delicious el dante French green beans, and juicy tomato sandwiches. 🍅 As a writer my vision is legacy. My story is one of peaks and valleys, potholes and narrow paths. There are chapters of shame and there are chapters of victory. God has used every single jot and tittle for my good and His glory. See that stack of books on the shelf? That's VISION. That's LEGACY.

Commitment Gardening takes commitment.. if you're Commitment 
Gardening takes commitment.. if you're not in it to win it there's no sense in starting.  Writing takes the same commitment. Currently, I have a partially completed work in progress. It's called "my brother is a saint." Right now I'm in a season of 'dry' but I'm still committed. See the first picture? It is a photo of Civil War dated garlic. 32 years ago hubs dug up 5 cloves in a field in Harpersville Alabama known for its Civil War / slavery roots. He carefully propagated it and has shared bulbs with many gardeners. That is commitment. My work in progress will get completed - I am committed.

Routine Writing, like gardening, requires routine. Routine
Writing, like gardening, requires routine. Every morning Farmer Hubster walks around the garden pruning, dead-heading,  tying, and all the things it takes to have an abundant harvest. Writing requires time spent in reading, research, and WRITING. A popular author once said, "if you want to be a writer then you must write something every day." I attempt to do that. I like the routine of writing ✍️. #hopewriterlife
