I Love Thy Beauty

July 10, 2019July 10, 2019 Susan

One of my favorite hymns to sing is Psalm 25/26:8, "O, Lord, I have loved the beauty of Thy house and the place where Thy glory dwellest." Up until now my love of this song really had to do with the fact that I truly love the church and I love the services and the… Continue reading I Love Thy Beauty

I just got back from my first ever trip to Hawaii. Kauai to be exact. This trip just kind of fell into our laps as dear friends decided to share a condo with us they had gained access to for a week.

February 6, 2019 Susan

Bees! Bees! Bees! I've talked about it before and you can see them all over this blog. Pictures. Quotes. I know I’ve written some about why, but I thought I’d touch on it again. Mostly because I thought it would be fun to share my pictures of bees. These beautiful creatures live a life of… Continue reading I Love Bees!

Praise the Lord!

We just got back from a big family camping trip. It was so wonderful and fun! But this explains my silence. Praise the Lord from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights! Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts! Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! Praise… Continue reading Praise the Lord!

Joy Even in Trials

June 19, 2018February 6, 2021 Susan

St. Paisios

March 20, 2018February 6, 2019 Susan

"I know from experience that in this life people are divided in two categories.  A third category does not exist; people either belong to one of the other.  The first one resembles the fly.  The main characteristic of the fly is that it is attracted by dirt.  For example, when a fly is found in… Continue reading St. Paisios
