“Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭85‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I ventured out in the darkness a couple of days ago. It was really nice, about 60 degrees and very calm. I wandered over to a place where at times I see a skunk or two and realized it would’ve been wise to have included a flashlight.

Happy Thursday, sweet friends. We were excited to see a day with rain on Tuesday! God’s provision of rain is far better than RM watering daily with the hose!

“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

zinnias galore

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

After days and days of relentless heat, we finally have a bit of reprieve! Highs in the mid to upper 70’s will feel like a cold front! Alas, August can be one of our hottest in the South!READ MORE
