  • Assuring Angel

    Mountains are transcendent God places . . . a gateway where heaven comes closest to earth . . . where Jesus often alone went to pray. This evening I climbed a mountain and sat in silent awe as He adorned the sunset’s glow with an angel fly-by, assuring me of His presence. I M Blessed…

  • Wildflower Reminiscing

    Woodland wanderings always envelop my soul with an inexplicable, comforting . . . I’m Home . . . peace. Perhaps it’s because this world is not my final home, and His creation reveals glimpses of my final forever Home. In nearly 8 decades life’s journey has found me calling 8 states home . . .…

  • Bear-plosion!

    Snowbirding between the Last Frontier and the Great Smoky Mountains is truly an undeserved blessing. Lately up here on the mountain – down in the ‘holler’ – by the ‘crick’ . . . we’ve been enjoying lotsa’ backyard bruin activity . . . all friendly . . .so it has been totally welcome and ‘Bearable’…

  • ‘Snappy’ Cutie

    Young is synonymous with cute. Here’s a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not . . . I was once considered cute!  . . . back when still in diapers and dinosaurs roamed the earth 😊. Here’s a cutie that came floating down the creek today I scooped up in my hand . . . wouldn’t suggest…

  • Teardrops and Raindrops

    Tears of joy, and those of sorrow We know not which will fall tomorrow Raindrops upon a flower’s bloom Prompts dismissing teardrops’ gloom Our tears of grief, and those of loss Were all once shed upon a Cross He knows our grief, our pain and sorrow And saves each one to dry tomorrow “You know…

  • Spring’s 1st Lily

    A picture is worth a thousand words . . . God’s surpass all words. “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil or spin; and yet I say to you’ even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these”. – Luke 12:27

  • Tourist Insanity

    I’m doubt this dude was the class Valedictorian.  When I suggested he consider backing off he replied, “I bet I could pet it”. Fortunately, this yearling bear preferred to continue munching on walnuts rather than dine on Tourist T-Bone 😊

  • Wildflower Phastasmagoria

    “I would have liked to have seen the whole world with eyes incapable of anything but wonder, and with a tongue fluent only in praise” – The Prince of Tides. Such was mine wandering through the forest today gingerly treading among a vibrant patchwork of diminutive Spring blooms carpeting the forest floor, totally immersed in…

  • Claude Monet Sunset

    Controlled burns in the Smokies added to their haze creating a Claude Monet sunset . . . a ‘picture perfect’ way to end the day. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands”. – Psalm 19:1                          …
