Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far...
Isaiah 60:4a
My brother and his wife have returned safely from a sojourn abroad. Tonight, we'll gather at the table together... and fill every seat!
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Philippians 4:8
Philippians 4:8
I am blessed.
This site is a collection of some of the "lovely things" that God has given me. I gather them together as a simple act of obedience... "think on these things" ... and as a matter of personal delight!

I'd like to ...
have a cutting garden
and "New Dawn" roses
and a dog
study physics
and calculus
and astronomy
learn another language
go to Israel
and Italy
and France
and the British Isles
learn to quilt
and play chess
find a perfect fragrance

Glad to hear that everyone is home safe. Isn't that a good feeling? My niece is here, but Jack is gone... I'll be so glad to see him tonight. My dad is in Calif. on a business trip, hopefully on his way home, too. The flight was delayed due to pressure problems. Even though he won't be HERE with me, it's still a relief to know that everyone is where they should be! :)
Hope you enjoyed your celebratory meal!
Jen
