The Old Rugged Cross

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

The Old Rugged Cross by George Bennard (1873-1958) On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame; and I love that old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me; for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above…

Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

These large flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are easy to make as the ingredient list is short. Kids will have fun helping make these naturally gluten free cookies. Plus, there is something fun about having giant cookies. This recipe makes roughly 18 large cookies. You can use m&ms if you want to add more playfulness and color to the cookies. For adults, add in some chopped nuts and chocolate chunks instead of just using chocolate chips. If you use natural peanut butter, you may find that you need to add a little extra oil like coconut oil. I like to…

His Eye is on the Sparrow

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. ~Matthew 10:29-31~ I was reminded of these verses as I looked out on the birds in our yard today. I stepped back in time to when I was younger and we sang this song in church… His Eye Is on the Sparrow by Civilla D. Martin (1905) Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,…

The Path of the Hummingbird on a Spring Day

Posted in Photography

It was a beautiful day in the mid to low 80s. Skies were clear except for a few wisps of clouds. The outdoors were calling me, so I picked up my camera and headed out to see what would capture my eye. I was pleased to see many birds flying about and the bright colors of spring blooms. Then something caught my eye. It quickly flitted from one flower to the next until it landed right above me in the tree. I decided to follow the path of the hummingbird and capture of few signs of spring.

A Beautiful Spring Evening

Posted in Family, and Photography

I love spring evenings in the Arizona desert. Beautiful sunsets combined with comfortable evenings make for a perfect ending to the day. Earlier in the day, I let the dogs outside as they were acting rather hyper. They ran around a bit until I looked outside and saw a growing swarm of bees. I quickly got the dogs inside before the bees decided to enter the house. I then watched as the swarm grew and took over the backyard. They were everywhere! After awhile, they made their way around the house to the front yard and eventually left our immediate…
