Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
This was one of the first random blog ideas I had written down in my idea notebook back in 2017, when I initially began my blog. I was thinking about the wisdom needed for decisions that we make in life and how every decision, even a small one, has an effect on yourself and/or others. I … Continue reading Gazing at the Ripples in the Water
I talked recently about taking some time completely away from social media, and that included most television. For the past three weeks I have been mostly off line, with just enough to research and post my blogs. I really have not missed it. I told someone that for the past three weeks I have been … Continue reading Light and Strength
When I look around, I see many people that never appear to be touched by sorrow or trouble. They seem to live (to the human perspective) a charmed life. The sun is always shining for them. The light is always green. Their life looks flawless. Their heart seems to know no sorrow. Then, I think … Continue reading Seeing Trials Through a Different Perspective
This week I started going through the “Lord’s Prayer — The Lord’s Requirements” reading plan from the YouVersion Bible App with my cousin. The devotion this morning, “Day 4 - Which Heaven,” caught my eye. In it they referenced Isaiah 55:10. This devotion was talking about the questions of, “Where is heaven? What is heaven? … Continue reading Watch the Living Water Rain Down
Two of my brothers and my sister-in-law took me to the movies yesterday. On the way home I noticed there were a lot of trees that had their leaves flipped over. I’ve always heard that when you see the leaves flipped over like that it means that it’s going to rain. I just always assume … Continue reading Trees Looking for Rain
Last year I took a social media hiatus for quite a while. It was taking up too much of the free time that I did have. Truthfully, I did not miss it… much. I did miss seeing actual updates from family and friends that I didn’t see otherwise. I did keep a form of messaging. … Continue reading Friends Out of Sight
I think we are back to following again today. It amazes me how “sheep-like” people really are and how quickly they can be turned aside from doing the right thing. No big story here, I’ve just thinking about some folks that seem to be on the “follow for the wrong reasons” train and I am … Continue reading Are You Following The Light?
We are just getting ready to roll into the changing of the seasonal colors here in the Appalachian and Great Smoky Mountains. There are a few leaves that have started to turn, but full color is a ways off yet. For the past couple of years, everyone has said how pretty the mountain colors have been. … Continue reading Can’t See the Fall Colors
I have friends from childhood that live about seven or so hours away. We have corresponded for most of our lives, probably started in our early teen years. Our mothers became friends when they were both newlyweds. They consistently wrote letters to each other monthly for most of their lives. They kept the postal path … Continue reading Light Up the World in the Name of Jesus
My momma told me recently that she wanted me to paint our front door purple. Over the past few years we have gone through the white door, the black door and the (current) red door phases. I am not sure where she came up with a purple door. Is that a thing now? Am I … Continue reading Look for the Correct Door
