my people and what we do


My family is the most cherished group of individuals in my life.  Every single member shares some of those same expressions and mannerisms, yet are all so unique from each other.  They show affection in different ways, they challenge me in different ways, and they all make me love them more an more in different ways.

changing of the seasons

 
"Winter is an
etching, Spring
a watercolor,
Summer an oil
painting and
Autumn a
mosaic of
them all."

come, autumn!


Autumn is my favorite season.  It is a time of crisp mornings, beautiful colors, pumpkin-flavored/scented everything, scarves and hats, rosy cheeks, open windows, and cozy days of reading good books with a steaming mug of coffee.  It all definitely makes up for the amount of allergy medicine I have to take.  :-)

not the end



"Not everything in life has a happy ending...
 but this life is not the end of the story."

Psalm 94:17-19


"If the Lord had not been my
help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the
abode of silence.
If I should say,
'My foot has slipped,'
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will
hold me up.
When my anxious thoughts
multiply
within me,
Your consolations
delight my
soul."
