Wednesday on the Mountain... December 10

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

💨


“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Isaiah 7:14 ESV


 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

John 1:14 ESV


“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”

Hebrews 13:8, 16 ESV


“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.”

Proverbs 3:5-10 ESV


“because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”

Romans 10:9-10 ESV


“And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.”

Matthew 2:11 ESV

Good Morning Wednesday!


🐫


Not too cold this morning...

must be some rain coming...



Bible Study Time...


Max keeps "caressing" his Daddy
with those claws...
Daddy does NOT like it!


A few pictures of our Sadie
that I grabbed off her Facebook...

She is a Lady Cat now...
that is her in the back row,
second from the left...


It is so cool
that ORHS has a Gym like this...


They were on the subway
in New York...


I may have posted this one before
but it is her Freshman Phtot...


*****

Fur Kid Breakfast...
Murphy was actually waiting
with a wagging tail
and ate immediately...
maybe he is getting senile :-)


Half an avocado for breakfast...
we aren't going to exercise today
so it is earlier than usual...
also, today is our
Sister Shopping Day
and Lanny is going to meet us
after his doctors appointment
(his semi-annual)
for lunch at Firehouse...


Out to the Barnyard...


The four freeloaders
that are worse freeloaders
than the old ladies...
these four should
really be laying eggs right now...




Brrrr...
but for ducks,
I sometimes think
the colder the better!







Lazy morning
for the Fur Kids...


The pond heater is working very well...
the water temp doesn't go below 45
so the fish are in their
perfect winter state...


Headed down the hill for
Sister Shopping Day...
we went to Aldi's first,
to Dollar Tree,
and then to Staples for some
ink for my printer...
I am printing calendars...
got a late start this year...
I did all the graphics already,
but just had not printed...


We met Lanny at Firehouse...
all his numbers are down:
his A1C, PSA...
he is gonna make it another year :-)
Lord willin', of course....


Best Steak and Cheese on the planet!



Paula and I then went to
Kroger's for the stuff that
we cannot get at Aldis...
On the way home we
like to stop and say Hi
to the Camels if no cars
are behind us...


Lanny got the fire going 
for our evening, now that we are home...


Fed the Fur Kids their Dinner...
no Dinner for us tonight...


Nice...
Sourdough Whole Wheat
Jalapeno and Cheddar Loaf...
I'll show you the inside
tomorrow when I cut it...
but it looks mighty good...
Smells great!


Lanny insisted that we needed
me in the picture...



Well, it started raining
and the Goats were ready to go to bed...
We got them settled and put
the chicken feed up...
Pup Piles picked up
and all is well in the Barnyard...

We are heading for the Showers,
Jammies and Couch Time...

Tonight we are gonna watch
"How the Grinch Stole Christmas"
Jim Carrey...
I was never a Carrey fan but
some of his later movies are pretty cute...

Good Night,

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!

Tuesday on the Mountain... December 9

 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🌤️


“Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.”

Joel 2:12-13 ESV


“Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.””

Revelation 1:7-8 ESV


“Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.”

Psalm 128:1-2 ESV


“When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful.”

Proverbs 29:18 NLT


“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Hebrews 4:16 ESV


“Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.”

Hebrews 12:28-29 ESV


“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV

Sadie, her Momma and Sister

and other Granny spent the weekend

in New York... it was a short

excursion package

and they had a great time...



Yes, it's Maggie
during last nights
Movie Time :-)


*****
Hello Tuesday Morning...
Brrrr!


In their usual positions...
Murph goes to bed with us
every night and stays by me
for a couple hours,
but always comes in here
to sleep on the couch or the chair
for the remainder of the night...
Max sleeps with us a bit
as well, but is often
right here when I turn on
the lights in the morning...


Checked on the Girlies...
Snuggling as usual.
Funny thing tho...
they are in the doorway...
I think it would be warmer
in the corner, but
they do have on their
heavy winter coats :-)
I guess they just like
to keep an eye on the Barnyard...


Bible Study Time...




Biding her time until Breakfast...


Finally...
he did eat after 
a minute or two...


And time for a fire...
Max is ready...



Out to the Barnyard...
a bit chilly...





Morning Moon...
Waning Gibbous...




Maggie came out with her Daddy
to run the fence...




AM Pile Patrol...


More logs for the fire...



Made an Einkorn 
(It is an ancient grain)
Sourdough Loaf...
Success...


Out the Kitchen Window...


Baby is sunning
and ruminating...


Fiona is also sunning and ruminating...


Sparkly Day...


Fiona got tired
and used the gate
as a pillow :-)


Lazy Dog Day...


Nice bed of coals...


For Supper
we had a Salmon Filet,
Steamed Broccoli with Cheese and Butter
and Chickpea Pasta and Tomatoes...
as well as the Einkorn Bread...
Yum!



Maggie finally got a turn...


The Goats are in for the night...
everything else is buttoned up out there
so we are inside getting
ready for our evening...

Tonight we will start the
traditional Christmas Movies :-)
We are gonna watch
"The Nativity"
with Keisha Castle-Hughes
and Oscar Isaac...
made in 2006.
It is our favorite...

It's getting closer!
I LOVE Christmas...


Good Night, God Bless and Sweet Dreams!

I hope we get a little snow this winter...
