A child of God- beloved, holy, righteous, blameless, healed, forgiven, brand new, sheep, salt, light, a branch, temple of God, reconciled, a saint, God's workmanship, hidden with Christ in God, an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life, a partaker, a living stone- crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives IN ME!

I know!
“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.”

Immensely Blessed
Tomorrow my Nick will have his wisdom teeth removed....this evening we raked leaved together, we roasted hotdogs outside in the firepit then just sat out there enjoying each other's company.

FB Holiday
I've decided to take another FB holiday. Why?
1) It's addicting. How many times a day do I look at it?
2) Politics
3) Sports
These 3 combined, along with other things cause me to be- and feel- well, frankly critical and judgmental.
I don't like being that way.
So. I've got some many things I want to do this fall to prepare for next spring.
I really would like to put out a couple more of the peach trees, a couple fig trees and a blueberry bush. My goal is to freeze more fruit.
Also, next year I want to put out some raised vegetable beds. I would like to also freeze, maybe someday can, these vegetables.
We have been trying to get GRASS to grow. Which is really hard to do in this intense heat and lack of rain. The fireants are widespread in the yard and we are hoping get them under control again.
We've done a lot of work this year in our yard and in our home. Next year I hope for new deck on the pool (current one is 16 years old), regravel more of our parking/driveway, start replacing some of our windows and insulate under our house more. Goodness, upkeep on a house and property can be quite a lot but Nick and I are looking to the future. Eventually we are going to have to replace our roof and a new heatpump. That's our planning...we are just taking one step right after another. God always provides.
Anyway- I just needed a FB break. Needed to get some things done. : )

Good Morning
Sebastian is patiently waiting to run.
The view out my windows from my study nook in my bathroom.
