Ponderings from the Pond: The Dance of Creation.

Sitting. Like a gentle rain on a cold December day. I feel it…. Washing over me. Surfacing from a place, I didn’t know existed … Fear. Worry.

Thanksgiving. In Pictures.

1 Chronicles 29:13 Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 106:1Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:28You are my God, and […]
