Sometimes We Feel Like . . .


Circling the Wagons!

There are so many things going on around us these days. Our values, our way of life, our morals--which we try to base on Biblical standards --are under attack. Our Nation just elected a President representing a party which 3 times rejected God in their platform. The unborn appear to be in  more peril than ever. The family as God designed it seems to be moving closer and closer to extinction. 
No, it isn't about the economy.
What do we do?
Pray for forgiveness of our sins. Pray that we please Him with our lives and values.
Circle the wagons for a little while--continue teaching your children what is right and what is not. 
LIVE Deuteronomy 6! 
Eschew the world and its values. Scripture tells us not to be conformed to it. We have to live in it, but we don't have to be like it, Praise God. 
When we come out of the wagons, they will still be shooting at us, but "take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day . . ."

"Have faith in God.
He's on His Throne.
Have Faith in God.
He watches o'er His own."

And a special note to my friend BRM; Let's turn off the news and open our hymnbooks! I'd rather spend my night with Fanny Crosby than Bill O'Reilly any night!

Rather than Fretting . . .



 . . .I think we'll have some friends over this weekend. Nothing like a family get together to take your mind off of  a stressful election season. Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

The Name Above All Names


No matter what happens, He is with us. We are citizens of His Kingdom, and it is His love we should value most.

Jesus is all the world to me,
my life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day
without Him I would fall

Following Him, I know I'm right
He watches o'er me day and night
Following Him by day and night
He's my friend

D-O-G


A friend at school shared this with us today. It is just so wonderful. How He must cherish His wonderful Creation. Hope you all enjoy this as much as we have.

Ginger takes the political season in stride.

It's that time of year again. Mr. and Mrs. Ginger are ready for me to make our annual cookies. I love all of the Fall and Christmas season smells, flavors, recipes and traditions. This picture is from my old blog last year. Time to heat up the oven and start baking this year!
