Shady Grove
Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace,
Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.
- from the hymn Like a River Glorious

Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade
CharacterSketch.etsy.com

Heaven’s Glory
Beyond the sunset’s radiant glow
There is a brighter world, I know,
Where golden glories ever shine,
Beyond the thought of day’s decline.
Beyond the sunset’s purple rim,
Beyond the twilight, deep and dim,
Where clouds and darkness never come,
My soul shall find its heav’nly home.
- from the hymn, Beyond the Sunset

Sweet paradise! my future home,
The place of all the free;
Where never-fading flowers bloom—
I long to dwell in thee.

Audra took a look out the window and voiced her doubts about the weather. Thunderstorms had been popping up all day, and the sky [...]

I was a captive, but mercy released me,
I was in darkness, but now I can see;
Over the mountain, where lonely I wandered,
Jesus, my Savior, came looking for me.
Weeping, I longed for the rapture of pardon,
Longed from my burden of sin to be free;
Then as I lifted my earnest petition,
Jesus, my Savior, came looking for me.
Filled [...]

Shannon from “A Maiden’s Musings” (one of my very favorite blogs, by the way) has “tagged” me, inviting me to participate in a book meme. I’ve never been tagged before, so this will be a new experience — and a pleasant one, considering the subject matter!
Who is your all-time favorite author and why?
“All-time” seems to [...]

Planning parties is a favorite pastime of mine. Call me strange, but, the truth is, I can amuse myself for hours with a notebook and pen, writing out menus and guest lists for imaginary Teas and Dinners and Receptions. So think of my delight when I was asked, would I be interested in planning and [...]
