To prepare Joseph for the first ever Christmas, an angel appeared in a dream and began to give direction and explain a few things…

“She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:21‬ ‭

A peaceful sunrise and a calm morning welcomes December!

Many of you have never heard of Alfred Hitchcock or the 1963 film, “The Birds”. In the horror movie, groups of birds randomly attacked people. I paused momentarily here and wondered what it would feel like if all these decided to converge on me at once. I read that a trainer actually trained large groups of birds in order to capture some scenes! Thankfully, my group of  birds had only bedding down for the night on their minds. If you don’t know about him, look up ole Alfred Hitchcock. A strange one in my boyhood recollection.READ MORE

We take pause today from our typical Sunday post as we desire to celebrate the life of Bill Cheatwood. Bill is the sweet Dad of our daughter-in love Allison, and precious granddad to Princess Emma Kennedy and Queen Ella Mae. Our hearts are broken because Bill had an accident last week, and God chose to call Bill to a new home Friday night. Even in the midst of an unbelievable time of sadness, shock, and grief, there is great comfort in knowing Bill had a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Bill, Linda, and all the family gathered at our house this past summer for family photos taken by a professional photographer. It was a Mother’s day gift to Pam and Linda from Seth and Allison. We recall it was a very hot day and all the guys were a little fussy about getting their picture made 100 times! But how thankful we are that we took time to capture and preserve precious moments and make memories!READ MORE

Good morning…or good whatever time of day it is for you!

“Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭128:1‬ ‭


The waning of the moon after October’s first full moon was spectacular in the early hours last week as it was joined by Venus. They appear close together but…they are millions of miles apart! It’s not often we have to distinguish between moons in the same month. It only happens “once in a blue moon”! Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter are also showing off in the clear night sky right now. Hope you’ve had a chance to view the heavens!

Strolling around in the garden and enjoying the final days before cold weather changes everything. No frost yet for us and the next few days look mild.READ MORE
