I was born seventy three years ago in Owensboro Kentucky - a pretty little city perched along the Ohio River. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother and I have a rich heritage in memories from which to draw. I recently began blogging true stories and incidents that have occurred in my life. I am now writing some stories of pure fiction glazed with truth. My desire is to gratify the reader and glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Lord gifted me with humor and I enjoy passing it along.

Will I ever get too old to learn? If you can believe it, I often have the nastiest taste in my mouth, and I only realized it after I take my foot out. It doesn’t seem to matter if I have my shoe on or if all of my toes are bare, polished applied, or [...]

In the style my Great-Granny (old Kentucky colloquialism) would have told it to me ~ So the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet had said, “A virgin will have a baby boy, and He will be called Immanuel,” which means “God is with us”! As told in…..Matthew 1:22 Begins the greatest story ever [...]

My friend was having a time of devotion and Bible reading the other day while longing for ways to pray for a particular loved one. During the course of reading the scriptures that she studies in a pre-determined manner, not just thumbing through and picking out a daily read, she came upon the answer in [...]

Mark 1:35 Very early the next morning Jesus got up and went to a place where He could be alone and pray. C.E.V. (I long to be like Jesus and to grow in my prayer life.) Personal prayer is such a guarded, private thing. I consider it “open heart” time I spend with my heavenly [...]

I had the strangest experience the other day. The memory is still quite vivid, and I am reflecting on the excitement that was taking place in the dying crabapple tree. It is the tree that adds dense shade to the back porch, and my swing. It is dying due to the torture it suffered in [...]

What a morning, it is “Bible study day,” and I have been so busy, Don has already gone to the farm and left the television on, this is getting to be a habit with him. I am still in the other part of the house doing my usual morning “stuff”; I think I hear him [...]

Psalms 89:1a “I will sing about the Lord’s faithful love forever” (HCSB)
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
there is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
as Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
new mercies I see.
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon and stars In their courses above,
join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
~ I greet the morning with this praise song in my heart, desiring a day spent in the presence of my heavenly Father. As this melody swells through my senses and lifts me to that special place of worship, the words are embedded deep in the core of me, “You, Father, are faithful; You love me with tenderness, mercy, and justice! My window frames the beauty of Nature; it shouts Your glory in its God-set cycles! You are all I need in the seasons of my life to come. The final verse, my theme song for today! ~
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Humming along,
Rhea
