Foreshadowing?

"Ask rain from the Lord in the season of the spring rain, from the Lord who makes the storm clouds, and He will give them showers of rain, to everyone the vegetation in the field." ~ Zechariah 10: 1

As we were pulling out our driveway to go to church this AM, I happened to glance in our neighbor's yard and noticed this Japanese (I think) Tulip tree starting to bloom.  Seeing these beautiful purple flowers always foreshadows the coming of spring to me.  Even with two winter storms that brought snow and ice this year, it seems that winter flew by.  Just this sight of God's creation waking up to new life makes my heart happy.

I took this picture Wednesday night as I was leaving Bible study at Shandon.  I adore this church because I adore the people that make-up the church for without the people this would just be a building.

The countdown and entrance of the choir. I love worship at Shandon!!

Ready for the message-- I love that the back of our bulletins is left blank for sermon notes.  I actually keep my bulletins on a big silver ring so that I can go back to my notes when I need to remember something from a sermon.  I call it my "Blessing Ring" b/c hearing God's word is always a blessing to me.

New sermon series is entitled "Losing My Religion:  Finding God's Reality"

Today's Text was Romans 14: 16-23 "Finding and Enjoying Freedom"

I always take away so much from Dr. Lincoln's sermons.  I go to church to worship and praise God, but He always GIVES me more than I deserve.

Getting ready to go get Sister and head out for some grocery shopping.

After church selfie...I just love the way grey hairs stick straight up--NOT...I read where Biotin is good for hair and nail health, so I started taking it about four months ago...Hair started growing like mad...I don't know that it is any healthier, but it is definitely longer...So need a hair cut but just can't find the time to make an appointment...

This is my Mouse Kitty.  The only two people in the family he has anything to do with are Blake and me.  If I happen to lock him out my bedroom, I always find him asleep outside my door.  He was definitely worth the trip to Sumter to save him from an untimely death.  I love my Mouse Kitty.

I have a random post about babies, baseball, field studies and friends coming very soon.
