“It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I must give credit where credit is due; Pam took a golf cart ride yesterday before sunrise and sent me a pic to verify. I had taken a hike up the ridge about a half mile away. There weren’t any clouds around, but what a picturesque scene with architectural interest provided by bare trees and cedar trees in the foreground! (And Pam got to hear a turkey gobble; so exciting…to me anyway)

”How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.“
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I so enjoyed a hike early last week on a cold afternoon. I walked a path that I don’t travel as often as I should. I was simply wanting to take in winter scenes and decided to head east. It was about 30 degrees, but the pics probably make it look a bit warmer. The thorns on this rogue Bradford pear are really noticeable in January!READ MORE

”I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands.“
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭143‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Having to brave the cold at times these days to catch a sunrise. It also takes getting out a bit earlier as the days are now noticeably longer. We did escape the snow, but many in north-central and northwest Alabama had quite a winter storm last week!READ MORE
