"May we cherish a grateful and cheerful disposition, not murmuring and repining if our wishes are not indulged, or because some sorrows are blended with our enjoyments, But, sensible of our desert, and impressed with the number and greatness of thy benefits, may we bless and praise thee at all times." My friend sends me this quote. I am so grateful for her. A book of Puritan prayers. The apostle Paul says it this way, Phillipians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in ... View Post
My Name is Tammy and I Make my Bed Everyday
I haven't showered. Laundry is piled on the floor. Book work stacked on the table and in piles. It's tax time you know. And the beat of that clock is ticking. I can feel it. I make my bed. Yes. In the middle of all the chaos. There is one thing. Constant. I make my bed. What does that say about me? I am sure psycho therapists would have a field day. Of all the things that need to get done. I make my bed. Every day. With out fail. I wash my sheets too. Almost ... View Post
Jesus Came to Change Our Lives. Not Our Circumstances.
Last year. My farmer and College girl where in Haiti on this day. Now they've been again. Here is a re-post of thoughts on Water. One of our most important resources.

Yet there are nations that struggle. Clean drinking ... View Post

While they will long to be home; a piece of them will always remain in Haiti. I have not shared their experience. I am praying for understanding and wisdom. To hear their words. To see into their souls. I am looking forward to the ... View Post
When the Quiet Still Hangs in the Air
While the early morning quiet still hung in the air. The phone rang. Love on the line from Haiti. A quick hello and good bye. While the news blares Presidential Candidate updates and tolerance and intolerance are debated. A group is in Haiti. Sharing, loving, building, sweating in the name of Jesus. The noon time heat is intense. So they chose to get to work early. They headed to the boys home to build a Safe-T home. Temporary shelter for a people longing for a home. New beginnings; glimmers ...

And. . . They’re Off!
It's the coldest night we've had so far. There was much on the farm to be done. Much to do before they could go. To a people in need. There is winterizing the well. Because cows can not live with out water. There are instructions and lists to be made. Nieces and High School students willing to help. To rise before dawn in the bitter cold. To serve. And to think my farmer is letting it all go. He is willing to push aside the anxiety. The fear of something going wrong. To go. To head to a people made in ... View Post
