My First Post!

illuminated redbud leaf - spring 2008



I aspire to honor my Creator and Savior in all I say and do. Our family lives on a quiet little street in the heart of Oklahoma. We have three acres and enjoy taking care of six sheep (three are lambs, including one that was born just days ago), a brown and white rabbit called Cottontail, and eleven assorted chickens from whom we enjoy getting our own fresh eggs. On Tuesday, our broody hen hatched a chick! Now we have two chicks and there are three more eggs we are waiting on.


We hatched this rooster ourselves in an 4-H incubator last summer.

The race is on!

The "barnyard"

Our plum, pear and redbud trees are all in full blossom. I enjoy the spring- the weather is just right, and outside all the bright colors and delicious scents are just waiting to be savored!

Photography, and Writing are my strong points but I also enjoy sewing, and arts and crafts.

Whenever I have the time, I enjoy immersing myself in a good book from the library. :-)

Bye for now! Elizabeth. <><


John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or  Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the  D-Day  invasion of  Normandy , which took place on  Slapton Sands  or Slapton Beach in  Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in  friendly fire  deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by  E-boats  of the German  Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946  American   servicemen.

The Best [poem]

Christ wants the best. He in the far-off ages Once claimed the firstling of the flock, the                 finest of the wheat, And still He asks His own with with gentlest pleading To lay their highest hopes and and brightest                  talents at His feet. He'll not forget the feeblest service,                humblest love; He only asks that of our store we give to Him                The best we have. Christ gives the best.

The richest gifts for us on earth, or in                 the heavens above, Are hid in Christ. In Jesus we receive                  The best we have. And is our best too much?
