“For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭108‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Sunrises are infinite and beyond regarding the manner in which they greet us daily, no two ever alike. A thick fog rolled in just before daybreak one morning mid-week and there was nothing to do but wait. The cool of the early hours felt good since our daytime temps have been summer-like. Our favorite meteorologist said that last Friday should be our last flirt with 90’s this year…and followed up by saying, “but no guarantees”.READ MORE

“For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.”

The remaining fog and clouds the next morning added to the majesty and grandeur of the mountains, giving us yet another unique sight to behold. Back at home however, the story for us was rain and wind this weekend from a hurricane, and predictions of several days of 90+ temps later this week…but low 40’s a week out…that’s quite a change!READ MORE

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I was hopeful I could set a table in the garden for the October edition of Monday Morning Blooms. The weather cooperated during the morning hours with partly cloudy skies. With rain predicted for the afternoon, I decided to take advantage of the earlier light and cooler temperatures. We did receive a small amount of much needed rain later in the day!READ MORE
