Autumn’s Lament She moves like a whisper on the breeze, silently she walks the land, setting fire to the slumbering trees, who shiver ‘neath her icy hand. There’s warmth in her eyes, but her breath is cool, and fair though the skies, Autumn’s no fool, for her heart tells her Winter is not far away,…

Down Under…
It never ceases to amaze me how planting a dried up bulb down deep in the dirt will produce a beautiful and oft times fragrant spring flower.Today I planted over 30 some spring bulbs. Down into the 4 inch hole they went, then they were covered over… Dirt, Dried Bulb, Darkness, Dead of Winter +…
Hidden Beauty
Although this looks much like an exotic flower, it is actually an okra blossom. They are incredibly beautiful and yet hidden away on a spindly stem beneath less than spectacular leaves. Okra doesn’t even enjoy the status of being a popular vegetable like green beans or peas or sweet corn, and yet, its blossom rivals…
Never Forget 9/11 Capt. Thomas Farino~footnote added
* Remembering September 11, 2001 Watching the events unfold that day was the same for me as it was for millions of viewers worldwide. I sat in stunned silence with tears flowing, unbelieving at first, until reality set in. I prayed, with all my heart, for complete strangers–until now. It is my privilege to introduce…
Never Alone…
I took this picture at Holland State Park yesterday afternoon. What impressed me the most, was this lone seagull, who ignored the waves and scurried around, gobbling up snacks that the churning water deposited at its feet. It was such a contrast of elements: sunshine, cold wind, soft sand, blue skies, immense waves and a…
Images of God’s Throne…
While studying the other morning, I came across this verse: Exodus 24:10 “And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.” As I thought upon the image I got from…
As the Master, so the servant
Jesus said in Matthew 10:24,25 “The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his Lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his…
God’s Perfect Health Care Plan…
The Evil that resides within the current health care plan, taking place within our midst, is beyond comprehension. Our nation has repeatedly rejected God by embracing abortion and homosexuality, forbidding mention of His name in public arenas, banning any semblance of a portrayal of Him in public places, changing His Word in churches. And so…
Generations to Come
I was reading a psalm of David this morning and came across this verse: 71:18- “Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to everyone that is to come.” And that led me to Psalm 78:4 “…shewing to…
Deceiving Appearances
While I sat waiting to photograph a hummingbird, this little creature at the top appeared. At first I thought it was a juvenile hummer, but when I checked my viewer, I saw antennae! And then I got really excited because I knew it was a hummingbird moth! I had heard there was such a thing,…
