Dec 2013-Jan 2014 update

Hi everyone,

How is 2014 going for you so far? I am sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. Here is some of what has been going on in my life since my last post. I was challenged and encouraged by a Bible conference that I attended in Tennessee. Then we had good friends from Colorado visit us. We also hosted a wonderful concert at our books and coffee shop last week. http://www.lifehouse.org
The musicians were the Wissmann Family from Nebraska. Check out their blog for more info. http://wissmanns.blogspot.com/

Here is one of my favorite songs of theirs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9O3HRO4aAc

That's all for now.

I pressed these leaves in between the pages of one of our Encyclopedia Brittanicas. The leaves are from our Bradford Pear Tree in the back yard.

I like polka dots.

We had an ice storm. Then it was sunny and warm for a few days. Then the next week it was snowing. Talk about crazy weather. :)

The trees looked especially pretty when the sun was shining through the ice.

I flew to Nashville, TN for a Bible conference.

A magnificent sunrise in Nashville.

Another sunrise.

The Theme of the conference: Fight the Fight
Finish the Course
Keep the Faith

New friends I met at the conference. They flew all the way from Japan!

I've met those people from Japan!! I can't remember their names off the top of my head, but how cool is that?! The Church makes the world a very small place. :-)

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...

England Trip -March 2022- (Part 1)

Grandma and I. I last saw her four years ago, too long! Moss covered trees along the road in Dartmoor Sheep on Dartmoor My Grandpa, John Frederick Charles Harvey. At age 9 or 10. Hound Tor (Dartmoor) Abbotskerswell, Devon, England. Widecombe in the Moor. Sunny one minute..... Clouds the next..... My Mum and my Uncle.

Alone

“And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”” John 8:29 (NKJV) “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?” Psalm 22:1 Jesus Christ was never left alone by His Father, except when He was on the cross. Why did His Father forsake Him when He most needed Him? Because of my sin. God cannot look on sin. Christ took on all my sins in His body and suffered agony, for me! I should have suffered for an eternity in hell, but because The Lamb of God was sacrificed for me, I am going to Heaven! I accepted His gift of salvation, confessed my sins and repented of them, when I was four years old. Hallelujah, what a Savior.
