“All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I know what calendars indicate, but all of December is a winter month as far as I’m concerned. I started out for a walk on a wintry day last week and packed the drone with me. I decided to stop and fly so I could get a look at an area beyond where my time would allow me to hike. I was not able to fly far or high because of wind warnings I kept getting for the drone. We will show a bit more of “Christmas On The Coosa” (shown in SSS 526) in a moment, but this is the way Christmas on the Coosa looks at our house!READ MORE

”May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!“
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭115‬:‭15‬ ‭(ESV)‬‬

The final days of February brought a variety of weather and skies, a roller coaster of sorts when it comes to sun and clouds, warm and cool. This is typical for February and March here in Alabama. A late February sunrise last week was spectacular in an unusual kind of way, with colors swirling and changing reminding me of the times I’ve been privileged to witness the dancing skies of the Aurora Borealis! Maybe this was a show of the “eastern lights”?READ MORE

“You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.“
‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭(ESV)

Pam had to wake me up for this one last week, but I am so glad she did. Her words were, “I think the sunrise will be spectacular and I don’t want you to miss it”. She was correct and I didn’t miss it! I ran out wearing only a tee shirt and sweat pants and it was 29 degrees. 30 minutes later I returned to the house and discovered I was freezing. I think the beauty of the morning was such a joy that I didn’t realize how cold it was!READ MORE
