True Purity

''True purity is more than a Christian rule to endure. True purity is so much more than the noble decision to wait for a future spouse. True purity is complete set-apartness for our Heavenly Prince.'' ~Leslie L.

''When I consider Your heavens,

the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which You have set in place,

what is man that You are mindful of him,

the son of man that You care for him?''

God of Wonders

''God of wonders beyond our galaxy....

You are holy...holy...the universe declares Your majesty....

You are holy...holy...

....Lord of Heaven and earth....''

May we all welcome in a New Year full of His holiness and goodness.

Luke 12:28

"If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you?''

Fall is Here!!

The weather's cooler, the leaves are all turning and, except for the bright festive pumpkins inhabiting it, our family garden is pretty much empty. I think it's safe to say that fall has officially arrived to the Inland Northwest.

Nothing quite like having leaves decorate the yard and woods...

And let's not forget the other ''decorations'' inhabiting the woods these days-boys, guns and dogs. ;)

Hope you're all having a wonderful fall season as well!! It goes by so quickly-so enjoy every minute of it!!

Hot Air Balloon Rally

We wake up. The sun is shining cold and clear outside.

The pilot's gloved hand pulls the valve and fire awakens the bright colors to life.

We jump out of bed and race to get our jeans and boots on.

It happens every year. And yet somehow those balloons coming up on the horizon, in the early September morning, remain just as wondrous today as they were seven years ago the first time we saw them.
