  • 2013: retrospective in pictures

    Crowder concert March 2013

    March 2013:  Crowder in Madison

    Psalm 98:4 (KJV)
    Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth:
    make a LOUD noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

    'Nuff said. ;)

    Proverbs 19:23
    The fear of the LORD leads to life,
    and whoever has it rests satisfied;
    he will not be visited by harm.

    Holy God, give me a heart to fear You, that I might truly live:  resting satisfied in You and being satiated by You, and trusting You will keep me as the apple of Your eye, for the sake of Your everlasting covenant through Jesus Christ.

    Psalm 103:15-16
    As for man, his days are like grass;
    he flourishes like a flower of the field;
    for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
    and its place knows it no more.

    Whenever I am tempted to be puffed up and begin to think I am something, let me know how frail and fleeting I am, so I might repent and seek meekness!

    September 2013: Arches National Park, Utah

    Exodus 40:33b-34
    So Moses finished the work.
    Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting,
    and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

    LORD God, help me to do all You have commanded me, but may I have a holy discontentment that watches on the wall and gives You no rest until You rend the heavens and come down!

    Psalm 71:18
    So even to old age and gray hairs,
    O God, do not forsake me,
    until I proclaim your might to another generation,
    your power to all those to come.

    Grandchildren are a heritage from the LORD!
    'Nuff said. ;)

  • Good Morning,

    Anyway, hope you and family are having a nice weekend.

    I was not sure who the baby belonged to. I will have to go up and look again to see if I missed a clue.

  • Grandchild!!! lol

  • Interesting pictures and thoughts.

    • Hi Doris, Thanks for stopping by! This wasn't a complete retrospective by any means, but a few memorable pictures along with some lessons/desires God has continued to put into my heart.

      We met up with that deer as we were walking along a busy path on a weekend at the state park. The ranger said she figured the mother was training the fawn to be calm in the midst of traffic. There are many related Scriptures I thought of at that time and since, but only relatively recently was I struck by that verse from Proverbs. I am definitely seeking to have such a calm, trusting, and satisfied heart through abiding in Christ!

      Grace & peace in Christ,
      Karen

  • I have a post like this coming too. Minus the photos. :D

Thank God. He can make men and women in middle life sing again with a joy that has been chastened by a memory of their past failures. ~ Alan Redpath
