I didn’t realize until today that my Baby Girl shares her birthday date with Billy Graham. What fine day to be born! Please watch this video. And offer a prayer for tonight’s telecast, Billy Graham and my Baby Girl.
Thank you and may your blessings be more abundant!!

I miss you all when I am deterred from coming here and yet life often keeps me away; but for today a quick hello and some encouragement to you to keep a journal – a diary if you will.
Cozi is a great tool – portable even – :) with phone apps.
Cozi lets you take your calendar, journal, and shopping list with you wherever you go. And it is that ability that has prompted my quick note here today.
You see I have not been faithful with my portable diary (shame on me!) but I made some entries today:
Lemon verbena soft soap batch cooling now. Got Vitacost ordered.
Got pineapple potted yesterday! Teacup flower-pot. Got it a Walmart. So cute!
And while I was making those entries I noticed the last one I made. It was Saturday, September 7, and we were in Mentone, Alabama at the Wildflower Cafe, and without my portable diary I would not have made the note nor would I have such a sweet memory triggered today. There was a plaque on the wall of the cafe. It read:
There is a crack in every thing. That’s how the light gets in.
Will that preach or what?
Romans 3:23 [source]
23 since all have sinned and come short of earning God’s praise.
Acts 2:21 [source]
21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
John 8:12 [source]
12 Yeshua spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.”
We are all cracked pots, and JESUS gives us LIGHT and LIFE.
So I hope you will take a hint and keep a diary.
Just short quick notes will keep memories accessible and who knows might even give you a springboard to share the GOOD NEWS with someone.
Blessings my Friends~~~
Father, thank You for modern tools that You, HOLY SPIRIT, can use to help us; help us serve others and help us remember to praise You. You are so AWESOME. Thank You for loving us continually. And I am thinking of someone who I want You to heal, Carolyn. She is dear and precious to me and I pray You will heal her and restore her to us; we miss her in Bible Class. And I am confident there are Readers who come here that have someone dear they too are asking that You heal. And it is not just Carolyn; faces and names are on my mind right now: pending surgery, unresolved health issues, financial needs, estranged relationships, wounded children, enslaved people of every kind, the government shut down, the blindness of people, cruelty, the ministry of reconciliation-raise up people to bring it to others; all this and more, ABBA. We are needy people and I am certain YOU are our answer and our help; I pray, HOLY SPIRIT, You will help us receive Your help. Amen and amen in the Mighty and Holy Name of Yeshua.

ABBA, for sure You made a pretty world; a world for us to inhabit, a world to demonstrate who You are; help us open our eyes and see. Help us open our ears and hear; to be taught as You speak not only from Your Word and with the LIGHT of the world, JESUS the CHRIST, but all that You created. From this window I see You and You are awesome! Your knowledge and wisdom are beyond my comprehension but I praise You and rejoice in who You are. Your design, intricate workings of all things, one aiding the other, colors, air, sun, gravity, on and on. You are indeed GOD, Awesome GOD. Thank You for loving us.

Without radio or TV playing, one in the kitchen can hear the voices of GRANDS in their respective bedrooms. And as Josh called out to Isabel to ‘come here’, a sweet thought came to me that perhaps will give you a moment of kind reflection or some encouragement.
When JESUS calls to us ‘come to Me’, it’s only a step for us because He has already come to where we are.
Not always but sometimes we call out for someone to come to us because we are comfortable where we are and we don’t want to make the effort to go to them even though we have a message for them.
NOT SO with JESUS. He had/has a message for us but He does not call us to come a long distance to receive it – only a step – for He has already traveled the distance to meet us. HOW AWESOME is HE?! And how blessed a truth is this for us?
Blessings Dear Friends!
Thank You, ABBA, Thank You LORD YESHUA for coming the distance for us and thank You HOLY SPIRIT that You keep doing it for us. And I know You are doing so for GRACE in this moment. As I think about her agony as she grieves the death of her son, I know only You can get her though this season and so I pray; pray for her to just be in You and I pray for family and friends to come alongside and bless her with love and arms to lean on. And, ABBA, there may be others today with similar depths of grief, I pray for them too to take that step to Your comfort. For all the hurting who come to this page or for those who come bringing someone else in their heart, I pray for all of us to take that step and receive Your comfort. Thank You, LORD JESUS. amen and amen.
Its’ really quiet in the house . . . wonder if I should check on that? :)
