Sunset at the Bean Field
Just before evening starts to gather in…. The blue and the beans and the shadows, they brush bold across the canvas of earth and sky and creation sings, silent and swelling, muted and magnificent, rising around in praise to Creator God, bringing pause to whoever will take the time to notice…. I’m so glad that […]

God’s Faithfulness Abundant
Deuteronomy 32:4 ~ “God’s way and work is perfect; He is faithful to me.” His faithfulness blooms forth in abundance in so many ways. Seek it. Notice it. Give thanks for it.

A Pathway in the Park and a Detour Too
The pathway was shady and the weather that perfect mix of sunshine and seventy as I placed sneakered feet on the sidewalk and set out along the walking trail in the park. It was peaceful and pretty and then, around a bend, the bright orange cones signaled a roadblock ahead. The ground and sidewalk were […]
