PI DAY!

Today, March 14, 2026 is Pi Day. (Thanks to mathematician MS chumCarolyn Ferrell for the reminder.

As for me, I am NOT a numbers person in any way, unless I'm counting blessings! My H.S. geometry and algebra teachers could attest to that.

As a wordsmith foodie woman, I'm more interested in p-i-e! 

Think treat!

That said, I plan to celebrate with "pie" in mind. Think slices!

Slice of crispy thin cut pizza pie. 

Slice of chicken pot pie. 

Warm slice of pecan pie (Tootsie's recipe) with a dollop of ice cream.

Pi. Pi. I'll keep you posted!

TRUST BEGETS JOY!

Trust and joy seem to go hand and hand!

Trust begets Joy! 

Enough said----say it loudly!

Worthy of a shout!

WORSHIP, WOMAN!

I need a WOW moment! 

Think a mother's stern voice!

Wednesday Of Worship!

Worship gives hope in one's heart!

Worship reflects what one values!!

Worship the One true God and Him alone!

O Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker (In reverent praise and supplication).

(Psalm 95:6 AMPC)

A true reflection of the heart!!!

*Truth be told---I actually knelt and realized the difficulty of getting upright. Maybe next time i will kneel in my heart. Worship is what counts whether quietly or noisily.... privately or publicly---it's the position of the heart that is worthy!

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

Practice makes perfect-----or does it?

Does practice influence your life?

Maybe a better question would be, "Are your practices worthy?" 

Heart motives need to be in a positive realm.

Coach Vince Lombardi said, "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect."

In other words, some training is superior to mere repetition. If wrong practices are repeated, bad actions can become permanent, but not right or necessarily correct! 

Progress in wrong doing is not in any way perfect!

Does practice influence your life the right way?

How do you know?

Make your request be known unto God. Pray for discernment.

Let Him lead.

"Stand firm in the Lord." (Philippians 4:1) The only One who is perfect!

He will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus..... topping it off with His peace. (Philippians 4:7)

NATIONAL NAP DAY!

Today is National Nap Day and I'm too tired to take a nap!

How can that be!? 

For years I was the consummate napper!

These last couple of years weary prevails and sleep eludes?

Even with the Psalm 127:2 reminder, "Lord gives to His beloved, even in her sleep," I'll have to settle for being still with my eyes open.

Hopefully, His peace will come.

Thanks to a reader who shared other nappers. One has celebrated it in many states! First as a baby on a beach towel in Florida 

sand......

.....and today as a worn out West Elementary first grader creekside in his hammock at "his" Deep Creek beach.

Sweet naps on the National holiday!

 

WAIT FOR THE LORD!

Why

Am

I

Talking

Wait---(Hebrew--Qavah (קָוָה, kah-VAH) ) look for with a hopeful expectation

Talk less and trust more comes to my mind!

DayLight Saving time begins tomorrow, March 8, 2026.

If our time seems to be cut short, especially sleep time, we need to make the most of the time given. 

Think listen more and talk less. Be still and know God better. 

Rely on Him & His strength; serve others well in the time given.

BLUEBIRDS AFLIGHT!

Bluebirds never leave NC but we see them only occasionally until they begin their nesting search. These cavity nesters breed from March through August. Bird loving hubby tries to aid them in that pursuit though it's been difficult since his shoulder surgery. 

Carefree birds don't grow their own food, primarily eating insects.(insectivores) Hubby makes sure there is also plenty of mealworms in our area as another fave food.He does not want to leave "his" fave birds in decline due to food or habitat loss!

Birds in the Bible symbolize God's providential care. 

When help is needed environmentally, many want to help this beautiful part of creation God has created to fly above the earth!(Genesis 1:20)

Hubby is chief among them to keep birds aflight!

FAITH--FOOD--FUN!!!

FAITH. FOOD. FUN.

Alphabetically correct!

All found today in Waynesville, NC while awaiting a cardiologist appointment.

Faith in print! Think faith in God! Honesty! Service! Quality for others! Dependability for what we believe and serve daily!

No food pix available! It was an easy "1 Thessalonians 5:18" moment of giving thanks! So-o-o-o delicious they scarfed it down. Even chocolate pie for dessert!

FUN! FUN!! FUN!!!

Fun with family! 

Fun with food! 

Fun after a good cardiologist report! That's serious fun!

WHAT A GIFT!

Dear friend, Anne B. celebrated her birthday today! I sent love and prayers from my heart---from North Carolina to Memphis, TN!

But....her fiancé, Jeff, took a picture of the red moon to send to her.

What a gift!

Anne, has always been my photographer friend and she shared this gift with me!" She sensed God put that red moon out for her birthday!

I call it a God wink." Either way, it's a perfect early in the day gift!

What a super gift??

SPRING SHOW BEGINS!

There might be 20 days, 11 hours, 17 minutes and 0 seconds left until the official first day of spring as I start this entry!

But God gave me an early peek yesterday! Think vernal

Even on this chilly mountain ridge, between BIG rocks, I had a real glimpse yesterday. My first!

I remain hopeful! Subtle but real!!
