“May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”

Romans 15:5, 13 ESV

“Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.”

3 John 1:11 ESV

“Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.”

Psalm 126:5-6 ESV

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV

“And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’” And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’””

Luke 4:4, 8, 12 ESV

Good Morning...

Brrrrr...

Bible Study Time...

Hi Dad...

Snuggle Bugs...

She was dreaming...

Breakfast Time...

even Murph was ready today...

And it is definitely time

for a fire...

Easiest way to start a fire :-)

Max loves it!

Maggie needed some too...

Out to the Barnyard...

Waiting...

The fire has been going for about 

thirty minutes or so...

It raises the temperature

in here pretty quick...

The Stove temp gets hot really fast...

he always gets it

real hot early on

and then it stays in

the optimum nearly all day...

the real hot burns off

any creosote in the chimney...

at least that is what

"they" say :-)

Had half an Avocado

for First Breakfast...

Then we had some of my

Homemade Sourdough Waffles

for Second Breakfast :-)

The Pups were interested 

in both...

We were both a bit lazy today...

we sat on the couch 

most of the afternoon...

reading and YouTubing...

I am still trying to

learn about all the grains

and especially

ancient grains...

they are so much

healthier than todays grains...

Fur Kid Dinner...

They all ate...

Murph usually eats

his dinner alright...

he isn't a 

"morning" dog :-)

Rob and Molly had some other

family events today so it

was just me and Lanny.

I made some

Home Made Pizza for our Supper...

I did take Paula a couple slices :-)

They were interested in that

as well...

They are interested in

anything we are eating...

Took care of the Outside chores

and all the Critters...

The kitchen is clean

and we are ready to 

clean up ourselves

and watch the next

"Die Hard:

A Good Day to Die Hard"

*****

Good Night Dear Family and Friends...

God Bless You 

and

Sweet Dreams!

Saturday on the Mountain... December 6

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🌤️

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Psalm 34:18 ESV

“I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”

Psalm 34:4 ESV

“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?”

Romans 6:12-16 ESV

“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:12-13 ESV

Last evening while

we were getting ready

for our Pack Time

the Fur Kids were

getting some last minute

turns in front of the fire...

We let it die down

before we go to bed...

*****

It's the Weekend!!!

Good Morning Saturday...

Checked on my Girls...

Baby is using Fiona as a pillow again...

And Max quickly

snuggled into his Daddy's arms...

...for Bible Study Time with the Pack...

I decided to do colored lights

on this little tree...

usually do clear white

but I like this better...

Hmmmmm...

yes, Murph is

doing his thing...

But 90% of the time

he does come around...

I just love our fireplace...

Made Breakfast...

Duck Eggs and Avocado...

Out to the Barnyard...

The chickens are

a bit more at ease this morning...

but we did see the hawk in the back...

not a thing we can do about flying predators...

He got hot...

Not sure if they are cold or

if they are nervous about

the hawk visitor...

the Goats aren't bothered at all...

of course, a hawk isn't a danger

to them...

The Goats can hardly get in to their

House for the chickens!

Out the Kitchen Window...

Lanny's kindling...

Fur Kid Dinner Time...

Even Murph was waiting!

I have been experimenting today...

I made some Sourdough Discard Waffles

and we ate a stack for our Brunch...

they were so good...

didn't document it...

For Supper I had some left over rolls from

this week, a couple wieners in the freezer

and a can of chili sauce...

so we had a kinda make shift

Open Faced Chili Cheese Dog...

it was good and it was filling...

what more can you ask from a meal?

:-)

Fiona is usually waiting

and watching the door about this

time of day...

she is ready to go in...

I gave the chickens some

frozen Soldier Fly Grubs...

I thawed them of course...

in the summer when I am

getting a LOT, I keep

some back for winter treats...

Pretty Pepper...

Evening Pile Patrol...

So, the Goats are in for the night...

all the other Critter chores

are done...

Tonight we will watch

"Die Hard 4"...

"Live Free or Die Hard"...

it is one of my favorites of the group...

Justin Long is in it with

Bruce and he is

a pretty good young actor...

Anyway, we are easily entertained...

I think the main thing is that

we are together, on the couch

with all our Fur Kids...

Life is good!

Good Night Everyone...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!
