A Snapshot in Time

Isn’t it interesting how so much can change in such a short time? I don’t usually write a “bio” for my blog because unless it’s super general, it has to be continually updated.

It has been so much fun to decorate my new house. After our wedding, I moved in, unpacked my belongings, and got to work hanging pictures and thoughtfully setting out decorations in each room. As the season of fall approached, I enjoyed putting out colorful leaves, turkeys, pumpkin candles, and reminders to give thanks. This … Continue reading »

The Lord Has Been GOOD

Psalm 92:1-4 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,     to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;  to declare Your steadfast love in the morning,     and Your faithfulness by night,  to the music of the lute and the harp,     to the melody of the lyre.  For You, O Lord, have made me … Continue reading »
