Year in Quotes

As I was journaling this morning and writing down the Scriptures that had stood out to me during my morning devotions, I thought it would be interested to skim over my journal for the year and compile a list of Scriptures or quotes from throughout the year. So I did. Praise the Lord for his…

The Wondrous Cross of Christmas

When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died; my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his…

The Promiser is Faithful

“Whether I am up or down, the Lord Jesus Christ is the same. Whether I sing or sigh, the promise is true and the Promiser is faithful. Whether I stand on the summit or am hidden in the vale the covenant stands fast and everlasting love abides.” – Spurgeon

A Little Grumpiness…

As the saying goes, “a little leaven leaventh the whole lump.” Well, unfortunately, a little grumpiness can ruin an entire weekend too.

Running Through the Valley

The horse show last weekend exemplified in Senorita what I am so prone to do. As she spooked at the colorful jumps, leaping nearly four feet above the necessary 2’6” rail, her heart pounded in fear that she could not escape the frightening flowerboxes beneath.
