Crazy people...

Still crazy but a little more normal looking except for the few that look like they are taking a mug shot.

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encourag...

The Narnia Wardrobe...

Image
I remember the first time I spied the book "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe." It was in the library at Taylor Elementary School and I was in the sixth grade. The cover looked interesting and I fell in love with the fantasy and beauty of it. At the time I had no idea that the story was a loosely telling of the story of Jesus and morals and living by the truth of God.  I can't count the times I have read it sense then for myself, for the love of it and for our boys and now our grandchildren. So thankful for The Chronicles of Narnia. We just remodeled and moved into an older home with a sweet old staircase and a few stained glass windows here and there. The moment I stepped through the front door in spite of the major renovations that needed to be done I fell in love. The old place just had character and lots of heart.  I feel this home has sweet whimsy. One of the most enchanting things about it is that it has a little closet that is tucked away behind a hobbit ...

Thin Places...Where We Feel God Is Close

Image
Sunday our preacher gave a talk on "Waking Up To God". He does a marvelous job in helping us catch that enthusiasm and excitement for knowing God better. This lesson was such a blessing. He spoke of a book called, "Thin Places". I intend to find it but wanted to share some of the thoughts from his lesson with you. There are thin places in the world and in our lives. It can sort of be described this way: When people talk of encountering God they often reference some “miracle” event. But what if the better proof of real encounter with God was in something totally ordinary, more often missed than noticed? I believe the extraordinary is embedded in the ordinary. We find thin places in events that occur naturally, and will bless us and give us a view of God more clearly if we keep our eyes open to them. Oh to see the beauty and feel the closeness of God even in the midst of the everyday. He asked the question..."Have you ever had a "thin places" experien...
