  • “There is the sky, which is all men’s together…”

    I love looking at the sky when I’m pondering in the porch swing. If I’m not bird watching, I’m looking up at the heavens of the beautiful sky. Today’s sky was a deep blue sketched with cotton ball fluffy white clouds. Soon as the day heated up the cigar smoke clouds turned dark and gathered…

  • What a friend we have in Jesus…

    Pretty morning! Ate my breakfast pondering in the swing watching the world come alive. The sky is descriptively summer, dark blue canvas with large fluffy bleached white clouds. All my birdies are on the feeders or sipping from the bird baths. The morning is so pleasant but the heat is building. The breeze is blowing…

  • Be thankful for what you have…

    Drove back home to Roanoke from Alexander City late morning under an overcast sky. Before I got home the sun burned off her coat of gray cotton ball clouds and welcomed me to my home here with blue sky and bright sunshine. I had a wonderful spend the night party with my dearest friend. My…

  • A true friend is like no other…

    As Willie Nelson sings, “I’m on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends.” Theodosia (my car) and I are happily motoring to Alexander City this morning to spend the night with my dearest friend. Our happy music will be laughter. We don’t have to do anything special. Just porch…

  • “The glorious lamp of heaven…”

    Beautiful day, bright blue sky, hot humid sunshine. The sun is beaming down directly on the yellow sunflowers, their heads turned upward, worshipping the warmth. The purple finches are arguing loudly on the feeders today. The cardinals, shy around all the noise of the finches, are slowly flocking to the bird feeders. I saw the…

  • “True religion is real living…”

    I’m sitting outside on the porch during a heavy downpour of rain. I can see the individual raindrops falling, silver life giving tears from heaven. I immediately wondered is God displeased with humanity now? Is he wishing for more kindness and consideration in a changing and confused world? We need to get on our knees…

  • “Always have something beautiful in sight…”

    “If your day is hemmed in prayer, it is less likely to become unraveled.” Cynthia Lewis. I love that thought. Once a day gets unraveled it’s hard to get back on track. Today was D day for me and the dentist visit went well. Have to have to two implants to hold a new bridge…

  • “Rainbows to follow the clouds…”

    This morning when I woke, I read this quote and was moved again by these beautiful words of Ralph Waldow Emerson. I’m always inspired by these words. I’m writing for a second time about this beautiful quote, glorious words to inspire and give thoughts to how we live our lives. We should speak these words…

  • “Take delight in the Lord…”

    “Birds are nature’s poets, each song a verse of the earth’s melody.” That’s a beatiful quote from an unnamed source. I love the birds singing in the warmth of the day’s waking and I can see them as poets of glorious poems they set to songs entwined with the earth’s music. The birds greet each…

  • “Happiness is not about a perfect life…”

    The sky is so pretty this afternoon, looks like a Summer sunny day illustration in a child’s picture book — bright yellow sun, deep blue sky, pristine fluffy white clouds. Father Sky did a great job with his sky canvas today. Earlier in the day storm clouds gathered together in colors of blue and purple…
