Mushrooms.

Life from death.

But ask the animals, and they will teach you,

or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,

or let the fish of the sea inform you.

Which of all these does not know

that the hand of the LORD has done this?

In his hand is the life of every creature

and the breath of all mankind.

Does not the ear test words

as the tongue tastes food?

Job 12: 7-11

Expectations

“Blessed to be a blessing”.

I often contemplate this thought

and reflect on how I am not living up to it.

In contrast,

last week a dear long-time friend lived out this maxim---

 and completely blessed our family

by allowing us to use her "cabin" for 5 days.

 In a small way I would like to extend that blessing to you by sharing this special place.

This wonderful "cabin" was built in Pennsylavania

 in the late 1800's and moved to this site in Georgia in 2001.

Amazing wide timbers with chinking,

 huge stone fireplaces inside and out,

and cozy rooms...

We had dreamed of quiet, contemplative mornings,

 afternoon reading, and naps

 while the boys were working during the day at the pumpkin patch.

But God had a better plan for us---

the rains fell all week and the pumpkin patch stayed closed.

While we spent the days

 four-wheelin', making fires, visiting friends, playing cards, and having meals

---all together. 

Five days of special memories.

Thank you.

Coweta County Fair

"Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen---

The truck's a Ford and the tractor's green,

And Amazing Grace is what we sing.

Well there's a county fair every fall

And your friends are there no matter when you call.

Yeah It may not sound like much but it's

Where I'm from"

Time away

We're off for a week...

 to work at Uncle Bob's Pumpkin Patch.

Moonrise

Freedom.

For worship today,

we attended a beautiful

Kirkin' of the Tartan

at Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church.

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see."
