Adorable.

At the Faithful Women's Seminar (Deeper Life Ministries) in Ohio this Fall, I had a beautiful stage from which to speak. The decorating ladies had arranged such a lovely, artful display of flowers, lace and other feminine touches beside the speaker's lectern. I thought the pink rose bouquets in the blue glass jars were positively stunning.

Do you see what I see? Some reeds, along with their reflections, made interesting shapes at the edge of Beaver Lake. When I spotted this sideways heart in the water while at the dock for my morning rendezvous, it felt like I'd received a love-note from God. Doesn't that look like His signature?

Yesterday Ken and I attended the dedication of the Zion congregation's new church building. (Zion is a sister church to Grace, where we attend.) The old Zion church building had beautiful wooden structures and features which the church members wanted to preserve by incorporating them in the new church. This huge clock in the sanctuary of the new building is one of those pieces. It used to be an ornamental part of the overhead trim work (and likely had a functional aspect that I don't know about), hanging as the central point of the auditorium ceiling. It was fashioned into a clock, the brainchild and major work of Phil Roth and finished by Chervin Custom Woodworks. I love the way it was designed, in keeping with the beautiful decorative theme chosen for the integrated items.

My daughter's "little sister" came to our house one evening with her favorite stuffie. The bear had suffered a broken leg from too many dangerous antics on the stairs. Someone's remedy was to devise a cast of the Kleenex variety, which had a most remarkable and speedy healing effect.
