Grace

My daughter's problems were due to a severe tonsil infection, not lymphoma. We are most humbly thankful!

Family Crises

My daughter in London has had a tonsillectomy and lymph node biopsy to see if her lymphoma has returned. Another daughter and her 13 year old are going to London tomorrow to help with the 3 and 6 year old boys. We stand together as a family and pray.

God within me, God without,
How shall I ever be in doubt?
There is no place where I may go
and not there see God's face, not know
I am God's vision and God's ears
So through the harvest of my years
I am the Sower and the Sown
God's self unfolding and God's own.

Arkansas Celebration

A charming simple wedding in a historic church in Petit Jean State Park near Conway, Arkansas!

"Oh, come, come, come to the church in the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale. . ."
"The Church in the Wildwood" hymn
