ROAD TO NOWHERE!

A muddled mind can be a side-effect of a stroke. An occipital lobe stroke can increase the muddlng. Factor in amyloid build up....you get the "up, up, up idea. Weariness looms. To muster my energy, hubby tries to encourage movement.

Yesterday, he said we could find the "Road to Nowhere" for a 20 minute walk.

We found the sign............

...but that's all we found!

There was a locked gate across the road. No parking area was anywhere close. It seemed, as the sign said, a broken promise f sorts for my walk.

As Son, J said, "It seems the road took you nowhere." I did not laugh. 

Maybe my mind was too muddled/concerned about backing down the narrow hill.

I'm sure there are more life lessons in these events "somewhere"----Yesterday, my mental condition was too confused a state to figure them out.

But today, Jesus, the One who is "the way," can refer to pathways of life or the journey we are on as we choose to trust Him, as we "walk" even when our mind is mixed-up!

CHRISTMAS IS COMING......

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas on WRD!

Thanks to friends, neighbors  and family who are spreading the true joy! 

It all started with a BIG fragrant wreath arriving in the mail from Collierville! I "puddled!"

Note purple door.....royalty.....a child of the king must live here!

A nativity built piece by piece over the years from Memphis friends.

(Luke 2:8-12)

A.B.'s "Beauty of the Earth" in a 2025 Photo Calendar 

Even at the high school the students worked together to write, and produce a "fun" play that includes acceptance and forgiveness and made our pre-schooler use his "excited" hands a lot!

 Plus, the sound and light crew guru is family!

SAVIOR = REDEMPTION

REDEEMER.....every Jesus follower has the One who is true!

How do we know? The Bible tells us so!

Redemption is an act of being saved from sin, error or evil. Similar to regaining possession of.....like clearing a debt. In biblical terms it involves deliverance from bondage based on payment of price by a redeemer.

For believers Jesus has redeemed us from alienation from God through the  death and resurrection of his son Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:7)

REJOICE-----

        REDEEMED ONES!

ADVENT!

Advent ie a faith season of waiting and preparation for both the celebration of Jesus' birth and anticipation of His return at the Second Coming! 

The candles and wreath are accessories and may vary but all point toward Christ, the world's true light, who was, and is, and is to come. (Revelation 1:8)
