Think On These Things

The peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

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.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

-Philippians 4: 7-9


Beauty In the Badlands



Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself.
Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.

~Marcus Aurelius











For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
~Ivan Panin

May Day 2008


We were suprised this moring to have this may day package left on our doorstep. Thanks for all the goodies and flowers Auntie Mary! And then later Mom gave me this beautiful dried flower picture as a May Day gift. What a special piece of the prairie made by Amy at Amy's Pressed Flowers. Thanks so much Mom! I love it!
