”fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ (‭ESV‬‬)

Low clouds and fog lingered one morning but finally gave way to clearing and sunshine. It turned out to be a nice spring day here in our Appalachian foothills.

He missed his chance to be a part of this post!READ MORE

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

It is Tea on Tuesdays at the picnic table nestled by our woodlands! The trees have all leafed out in their pretty shades of spring green!READ MORE

Have you ever felt like someone or something was watching you, but you couldn’t actually spot any evidence to confirm? I felt that way on an early walk last week. I later realized I was not alone. Several stick people thought they were hidden, but the camera picked them up!READ MORE
