 Quiet Time in Bible Study...

❄️☃️

“I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”

Philemon 1:4-6 NKJV

“Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.”

I Samuel 12:24 NKJV

“Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!”

Psalms 27:14 NKJV

Watching Jurassic Park...

 Maggie was waiting for me

under the covers...

Good Morning Thursday...

What a difference a day makes...

it is "warm" this morning :-)

Max getting some cuddles...

Lanny didn't start a fire first thing this morning...

I am sure he will get one going later...

we love the coziness of the fire...

Bible Study Time..

Fed my Fur Babies...

Oven frying some bacon...

it sure is nice to have it

on hand...

Also starting some 

Chicken Bone Broth...

I will cook until almost done,

remove the meat for recipes

and then slow cook the bones...

Max smells all this meat...

"You're killin' me Mom!"

Told 'ya he'd start a fire soon...

Also roasting some Beef Marrow Bones

for Bone Broth...

YUM!

Bought these at the Meat Shop

here in Clinton... They have pastured,

healthy meats (beef, pork and lamb)...

The bacon is done...

no splattering of grease...

...cooked to perfection!

Had Waffles and Bacon for Breakfast...

oh, and raw milk!!!

Maggie says

"I like waffles..."

Beef Marrow Bones

into the Crock Pot

to slow simmer...

Out to the Barnyard...

Ethel was outside the fence...

I took a video but not a still...

anyway, she ruined her record...

I had to turn off the fence

and let her in :-)

Pup Pile Patrol...

Sparkly Day...

I pulled the leg meat off the bones

and put them back into the pot

to simmer...

I got two pretty good sized

containers of yummy meat

to put in the fridge

for lunches, to add to soup

or just eat (we love cold chicken)!

Paula just sent me this...

she took a pic of Ethel

early this morning

down the driveway

in front of her house...

eating under her bird feeder...

Milk Day...

we headed down the hill

to Hardin Valley to pick

up some raw milk...

I am picking up a gallon for our friend

at the Meat Shop...

if you haven't shopped there

you need to pop in...

the have some beautiful

meats!

After we picked up the milk

we stopped at Don Gallo...

YUM!!!

Checked on the Girls

on the Spy Cam...

They were waiting for us to get

home so they could go to bed...

All the chores are done...

I still have some bread prep to do

but I am ready to call it a day...

Tonight we will watch the second

"Jurassic Park...

The Lost World"...

Julianne Moore is in this one

with Jeff Goldblum

*****

Mom loved poetry...

she used to quote parts of this one...

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Good Night, God Bless and Sweet Dreams!

Wednesday on the Mountain... January 21

Quiet Time in Bible Study...

🧤🌂

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.”

Genesis 1:1-5 NKJV

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.”

Proverbs 18:10 NASB1995

“With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks. As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?”

Psalms 18:25-27, 30-31 NKJV

““O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?””

I Corinthians 15:55 NKJV

“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.”

James 1:13-15 NKJV

Perfect time for a fire!!!

Bible Study Time...

Max grabbed a few cuddles...

...before he headed

for the hearth rug...

Time for Breakfast...

And time to feed the fire...

he has been chopping

and hauling in wood all morning...

Rob ordered 2 ricks of wood

so we should be good

for this projected weekend storm :-)

Out to the Barnyard...

Brrrrrr!

Paula and I headed down the hill

for our Wednesday Shopping Day...

We ran by the new work site

where Rob and Thaniel are building

a Deck extension...

Then we went to Aldi's

for the main grocery shopping,

and over to Buddy's for lunch...

Aldi's was a little crowded but not too bad...

Kroger's on the other hand,

was crazy...

People panic when they hear

the word "snow" :-)

We just had a few things

to pick up so we just enjoyed ourselves

watching the chaos :-)

We did have to wait in line

for a bit, but we always

make new friends...

We also ran by the Meat Shop

and I grabbed some Beef Marrow Bones

so I can make some Bone Broth tomorrow...

Home just in time to feed

the Fur Kids their Dinner...

They delivered the wood...

Niiiiiiiiice.......

Lanny is going to put

up a new fixture for the

Security Light above the Barn Doors...

Max likes to be involved in everything...

The Goats are in for the night,

all the chores are done.

Time for Jammies

and Pack Time at the Movies...

Since we ate a big lunch

and no dinner we will

snack :-)

Tonight we will start

"Jurassic Park"

I like 'em all!

Good Night Everyone...

God Bless and Sweet Dreams!
