“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭96‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I believe we have now entered the “dog days” of summer. I noticed that temps across the country have been super hot, even in places where we might not expect it. While it is hot here, I don’t feel it is above average for us, but it appears many of you may be seeing temperatures that are above normal! We’ve had blustery skies at times and small showers popping up on occasion. “Small” is the key word as far as precipitation is concerned!READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 607

“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭67‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The 99 year old Memorial Bridge serves as the perfect spot to display two very large American flags. The flags, put in place mid-week, are part of this weekends Freedom Fest. I happened along just as crews finished hanging the flags so I eased out on a public pier to get a photo. Our city, like hundreds across the nation, had a well planned celebration of America’s 250th birthday. The bridge was closed to traffic early last night as crews prepared for a large fireworks show to be set in motion from atop the bridge. I imagine there were plenty of similar activities in your neck of the woods!READ MORE
