From one man He made every nation of men,
that they would inhabit the whole earth;
and He determined the times set for them
and the exact places where they should live.
God did this so that men would seek Him
and perhaps reach out for Him
and find Him,
though He is not far from each one of us.

Acts 17:26-27

as if He needed anything,
because He himself gives all men

I took a minute and did some bird watching!
Just a sparrow, but they are so much fun to watch!

OTN: Haven't gotten much done the last couple of days,
but I hope to finish a sweater today. And I have plans
to work on a few projects over the weekend!

because they had some to believe in God.

Loom boards.
The blanket board was made by my grandfather
more than 60 yrs ago. He made several blankets
on it while he was very sick and in the hospital.
The scarf board was made by my uncle. I don't know
how old it is, but I do know it's been around
as long as I have!
The same uncle made me my very own loom board
that is 2 ft. long a few years ago. He also made
me a circle one for hats.


Shelter from the rain
in the feeder!






As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
Ps. 103:13

Hope to get plenty of knitting in while

I will praise You, O Lord my God,
with all my heart;
I will glorify Your name forever.
For great is Your love toward me;
You have delivered my soul from the depths of the grave.

This time I used RedHeart Strata yarn
in Crayon colorway.
It took slightly less than 2 skeins!


Inside a tulip.
It is a rainy, dreary day here.
Needed some bright, cheery color!

I hope to spend the day knitting!
A perfect day to curl up in my chair with my needles
and some kind of sports on the tv!
I have pattern and yarn ready to start
a couple more sweaters and a scarf!



Salvation is found in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven given to men
by which we must be saved.

The faces of my Little Sweetheart!


Some of my current WIP's
I also have hats and an afghan OTN's.

Jesus came to give us an endless supply of life-
"...that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Eph.3:19)
Eternal life has nothing to do with time.
It is the life which Jesus lived when He was down here,
and the only Source of life is the Lord Jesus Christ.

But not enough time to finish much this week!


"You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you...." (Acts 1:8)
Not power as a gift from the Holy Spirit; the power IS the Holy Spirit.
