If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Bits of This and That

Good morning and I hope you are having a wonderful Monday!  I am so far and I'm trusting the rest of the day will be good too.  I woke up around 6:00 and thought, I really don't feel like walking today.  But Lucy had other plans.  lol  She got up a little bit later than me and definitely wanted to go out.  So out we went and if I was going out, we might as well get our walk done.  And so we did. and it really was very nice.  Here are a few pictures I took while I was out and about.  Some of our neighbors have the most beautiful flowers.

Sorry about the bag in this photo. 
I guess I'm trying to hold too many
 things and still take photos.



While walking I listened to another podcast by Lisa Harper called Back Porch Theology.  They've been doing these podcasts for around 6 months and I've only just recently checked them out.  I've listened to 3 or 4 and they are so interesting and fun.  I really just love learning more about Jesus and the Bible.


Here's a screenshot of what I
was listening to.

Last week I started a Prayer and Scripture Wall in my office.  As I've said here before, my daughter used this room multiple years ago as an office where she did here online school work on days she came to church with her day.  A friend helped her decorate the walls with things she loved.  I've left most of her stuff and have added a few of my own.  Well, last week I decided I wanted to write prayer requests and also scriptures that I really like and so I put them on sticky notes and then post them on this wall where she had a bunch of mirrors hanging.  I'll put a picture below.  Anyway, seeing these scriptures and prayer requests each time I'm here reminds me to pray for these needs.  For me, I think that's a good thing as my memory is not always the best.
Ignore the smudges and streaks on the
mirrors as that's what I'm doing.  lol


We had a pretty quiet weekend.  We had lunch out on Saturday and went to the grocery and then just relaxed at home.  On Sunday we had church and then went home and had some ravioli for lunch and took a nap and I did some reading.  I finished 1 book this last week and I'm almost finished with a 2nd one (hopefully today).  I've also got another one by Denise Hunter lined up to start when I finish this one.

Hubby did another sermon from Job yesterday.  It was Session 12 and the final in this series will be this coming Sunday.  I'll post yesterday's below and if you're interested the whole series is on YouTube.  It's been a really good series.  


Back to this morning.  After I came back from the walk, I finished the podcast and then did my Bible reading and then swept and mopped the kitchen.  And now, I'm at church in my little office (my happy place) writing this post and hoping to read some blogs from my friends and then we'll see where we go from there. By the way, hubby picked up some breakfast for us and it was waiting for me when I got here.  He's so good to me and I just feel so blessed to get to share life with him.

Well, I hope you have a great day and thanks for visiting.

    1. Well, I must admit I just watched War Room again recently and I think it kind of inspired me to do this. And yes, Lucy does keep me moving.

  3. If our girls let me sleep past 5:30 I'd think there was something wrong with them! Your sticky notes remind me of that splendid movie, War Room.

  5. Love the photos of your walk...such beautiful skies and flowers. Lucy is a good doggy to get you up and out the door in time to see all of that beauty!! I love your prayer wall! That is a great idea! I also love that you get to go to church where your hubby is the pastor and share in the ministry there with him. I used to do that back in the day and it was always special. Ministry for us was always a kind of team effort. Sadly nowadays a lot of pastor's wives don't show that much interest in their ministry. I think they are really missing out on a blessing.

  7. So many good things in this post! I love your early morning walks with the pup. At least you have a beautiful view to enjoy while you do this task! I love beautiful flowers and am always amazed at some of what I see in and around our little town. I LOVE Lisa Harper! I've not listened to one of those episodes yet, but I do follow her on Spotify so that I can listen someday. She's one of my favorite authors/speakers. I got to meet her once, at a Lifeway event in Nashville, back when Lifeway bookstores were still around. She was launching her study that was new at that time on the book of Job. I also met Mandisa, who was there with her.

    I love your "war room"! I will have one of those myself someday. Right now all of our rooms are still filled, so we're short on extra space, which I wouldn't trade for anything. I hope you had a wonderful day and start to your week!
