Thirty days hath September, April, June and November; All the rest have thirty-one Save February, she alone Hath eight days and a score Til leap year gives her one day more.

Backyard Get-away?!

Image
I'm cleaning house today! (well, I've put a 2 hour time limit on it) Finished my mid-term grades, taxes and bagged up my shoes that need repairing. With a fresh brewed cup of joe firmly in hand, I flung open the doors to get a fresh breath of air... then I had a thought...wouldn't it be great to have a little art studio/get-away place in the backyard?  Sure... I want a pergola type area out near the pond (after it's brought back to life) but a little airstream trailer might be a nice guest house/studio/get-away.  Yes, I am daydreaming again... helps to take my mind off the more complicated things  (LOOK, something shiny!)

Until I get home....

Until I get home,  I'm gonna make mistakes, loose my way, stumble but get back up and continue on my journey...  But When I get there...oh, and I see His face...I will be speechless!  My quest for love, acceptance and life will be fulfilled. Until then, I fight the good fight, try my best to glorify Him daily, fix my gaze upward rather than at the current circumstances, and I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!  (Philippians 3:14) Marvin Sapp, The Best In Me.

Free Roses!?

I'm talking about the roses in life, the special sweet smelling blessings that hit you when they're least expected, a change in thinking, a sudden realization of the fullness of love...  My Father Loves me so much, even though I don't deserve it, don't always appreciate and nurture it, or give it back as freely and unconditionally as it has come. But after a moment of reflection, I felt a tangible presence of gracious love cover me. Warm and inviting, safe and protec
