Good Friday

Five Minute Friday: Gentle

April 2, 2021 by admin 14 Comments

Kate said gentle. Odd word for this Good Friday 2021. Gentle. One thing that pops into my mind is… The Romans were not gentle with Jesus the night of His arrest. The Price He Paid Was anything but gentle.  Jesus was brutally beat. … was heinously tortured. Jesus was pierced. He was humiliated. Yet, He went to… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: SETTLE

March 30, 2018 by admin 18 Comments

  Have you been there? One simple question, “Have you been to the cross?” April is an amazing month. Two of my three children, and one son-in-love, were born in April and several close relatives. The world celebrates Earth Day this month (The earth is the Lord’s; and all its fullness, the world and those… [Read More]

  Here we are again, Friday. But, it’s not just any Friday – it is GOOD Friday. Kate Motaung chose just the right word prompt today for the writing challenge called Five Minute Friday: GOOD Let’s begin. I remember as a little girl wondering why “Good” Friday was good.

The Day Death Died and Hope Was Born!

March 26, 2013 by admin 8 Comments

My daughter and I sat in the church building, we were visitors to hear my good friend from Indiana sing. The church’s announcements were flashing on the overhead and it caught my eye: “The Day Death Died”, it was the name of their cantata to be performed on Resurrection Sunday. I looked at my daughter… [Read More]

“Good” Friday

April 5, 2011 by admin 2 Comments

Years ago, Sharpshooter and I went to a Good Friday service at a church here in the county – I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was one of the most meaningful experiences in my God journey. Having been raised in a very legalistic, keep-God-in-a-box, non-denominational denomination, the only clear memories of Easter weekend… [Read More]

So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tend So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tending his garden bed out in the corner of the common area and almost stepped on this Momma lake turtle, laying her eggs. He went away and returned hours later and found she had dampened the area and laid sticks on top! He framed it out in pic 3. 60 day incubation and then all those wee turtles will find their way back to the lake!!! How cool is that? #lakelife #tinyhousebiglife #fromfarmtoflat2tinyhouse
Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come i Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come in! Rest and peace are found within these doors!" 5 years ago this month we left this house, our home for 30 years. We raised one son here, and for A LOT of summers, the old squeaky screendoor opened and closed with the joy of grandkids. Fireflies,  a front porch bat, pussycats, dogs, goats, turkeys, and oinkers grazed the 14 acres. The ring of a blacksmith's anvil clanged for years as my husband designed and created beautiful ironwork. The best goat cheese hung from cheesecloth in its kitchen. Puzzles took shape on the old dining table, and Mexican Train domino challenges snaked along its patina'd surface. Blueberries were picked. Grapes  simmered and bubbled into homebrew! But seasons change. Kids grow and leave home. We grew and left. Happy memories.  Love grew there, and for that, we are forever blessed. Sweet, sweet memories.
