Over the weekend, my husband and I went gold prospecting. He bought a dry washer and was excited to be able to try it. The weather has not cooperated recently, as the rain has caused a lot of flash flooding recently. He wanted to go south, but since there was anticipated rain and an arroyo,... Continue Reading →
Unique presentation
As I took a walk this morning, I stopped to take pictures of some of the flower, trees and bushes that were sharing their beauty and color. When I first moved to New Mexico, everything was brown. It was the winter, so to be expected; although I found my scenery captivating, I did wonder if... Continue Reading →
Hidden Plans and Purpose
“Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the Lord, And whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?” You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, “He did... Continue Reading →
Parenting Problems God’s Way
“They refused to listen, And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You had performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not forsake them.”... Continue Reading →
Signs
And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16:17-18 I read this list knowing...

Grief is healthy and a necessary thing, but often hard to sit with at times. My nephew Shane died June 1st. I shed... Continue Reading →
Roadkill Revelation
Sunday my pastor half jokingly, still serious, finished the service out saying that revelation comes from the Word of God, through prayer, through fellowship with the Holy Spirt, through others, and through circumstances around us. He said he had even had revelation for roadkill. He prayed that we would all have revelation from roadkill. Not... Continue Reading →
Down, yet Rooted and Strong
While we drive, a lot of times I will just be gazing out the window looking at the scenery. Last week, I kept noticing trees that looked like they were barely holding on, but still looked like they were living. We were never in a spot where I could stop and get a picture, but... Continue Reading →
The Stones Cry Out
“shouting: “BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”” Luke 19:38-40 Before me...

In the Middle of the Process
Yesterday I did something I have never really done. I moved dirt for my husband. He was working to cave in a hole he had been digging to make it safer for him to dig farther back. I am not a manual labor kind of girl, but I enjoyed it for a while. My tools... Continue Reading →
