We enjoyed a beautiful, cool pre-fall day here in Delaware today. The air was crisp with just a hint of rain. The breezes blew and turned the leaves a silvery, green but within the woods the browns were splendid in their glorious shades. Here are few excerpts from my photographic journey at Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge.
This acorn sat alone on the floor of the woods just waiting to be photographed. As a kid I could spend hours playing with acorns.
These mushrooms were freshly broken from someone stepping on them. The green fern blended perfectly in this bouquet of browns.
The burgundy leaf snuck into the mix of the greens and brown.
Please let me know if you enjoyed! Do you have a link to photos you have taken. Please share with us.
Below is an adorable little baby hamster eating away delicately the tiny fruit of a piece of broccoli. He looks so innocent and non-threatening. What harm could he possibly do nibbling away?
This made me think of sin in my life. In some ways it seems so innocent and non-threatening. What harm could it do? One particular area is whining. I know! I hear those gasps of disbelief but yes I too fall victim to this dreaded disease.
Quietly I say to myself “I really don’t want to do this…” “Do I really have to cook ANOTHER meal?” “Bills again?” Unfortunately whining stems from a sin problem of rebellion. 1 Samuel 15:23 says “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry…”
I need to stop the sin of whining in my life or like this thumb-size cute hamster the whining will eat away the joy of the Lord in my life.

My four youngest enjoyed an afternoon at the Baltimore Aquarium. Laura enjoyed the turtles. Peter was disappointed he didn’t get to see the baby dolphins. He was happy to see the sharks. Jeremy didn’t enjoy the 4D movie about the Artic. A little too real for his taste. Laura said her nerves would have been [...]
Lighthouse Baptist Church in Newark, Delaware performed “In His Hands” for the Easter Cantata. Jude the servant is played by my second oldest son, James. The Lord really used the cantata to work in hearts and lives. Did your church do a cantata? I would love to hear about it!
I enjoyed Prayer Service tonight. One of the deacons of the church reminded us that a problem really should be viewed as an opportunity. What a great reminder that God is presenting me with an opportunity when someone offends or hurts me. Someone said something careless today and it really hurt. Instead of being mad [...]
As I write this post I release a huge sigh. A new blog has begun for me. I am letting go of the old and starting with the new. This is certainly not an easy decision for me. Hackers ultimately made my old site usable. I believe that everything happens for a reason and the [...]
