  • Seasons

    November 8, 2009

    • Rainy weather has been replaced this week with sunny days giving just the right amount of warmth to the breezy air.  Everyone has felt their spirit lift although the great fall color has greatly diminished.  Yesterday I was scheduled to speak at Nine Mile Baptist Church’s women’s retreat at Lake Sallateeska, and I enjoyed the drive up to north of Pinckneyville and the beautiful lodge after ...
  • The Week at Woodsong

    November 6, 2009

  • Autumn's Joys

    October 25, 2009

    • Looking out our living room windows beneath the overhanging white clouds in the pale blue sky and past the green lawn, past the lake, past the fields, and on to the encircling line of trees, we are surrounded by soft yellows, muted oranges, and gentle browns of autumnal leaves.  This has been one of those perfect days here in Southern Illinois.  Warm sunshine mixed with a gentle breeze made me ...
