PI DAY!

Today, March 14, 2026 is Pi Day. (Thanks to mathematician MS chum Carolyn 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!

Pizza pie did become a part of the day! 

BELLATORIA ULTRA THIN CRUST! Delish!

Sliced green olives were Hubby's touch,

Plus, homemade pecan pie ended it!

Oops someone took an early taste on "P-I-E" day!

Some circumstances are a 1 Thessalonians 5:18 overflow--may I choose it in "all" circumstances!

MY GOOD SHEPHERD!

As I have finished David's 23rd Psalm, I've realized this salient poem of soul soothing has brought me much comfort! I've also seen how similar I am to to a cast sheep in this season of my life. A cast sheep has trouble getting up after falling on its backside and needs his shepherd to help him get up & on its feet again. A cast sheep must trust his shepherd. (Keller, p.54)

Thomas Constable calls the 23rd Psalm "a psalm of trust and confidence in God's goodness in the present and in the future."

Restoration is often needed in our own lives! How grateful I am to have my Good Shepherd. 

I have learned what we have in our own lives is NOT the most valuable but WHO we have in our lives is what counts!

How I love my Good Shepherd!

SABBATH SNAPSHOTS: EASTER WEEK '13

3/31/13  A great week approaching "Resurrection Day"---too bad Google only acknowledged today as Chavez's Birthday. But God.....showed me throughout this last week the ins and outs and joys of celebrations within the community of faith. What blessings I experienced!

Sara and Jeanette make every FEC Wednesday night special for our own household of faith!

Homemade for Easter lunch in Batesville, MS using "passed down" cake forms, the best kind!

Flowers picked prior to the cold snap---I so love that my "matching" cross and mug were gifts from 2 different people, from 2 different TN counties, who went at 2 different times  to MS to shop & both thought of me. 

April in her Easter bonnet....

"Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand..."

Around the kitchen table with family for  Easter lunch

Late afternoon delivery by Lilly, my favorite Easter bunny  and her  helpful daughters, who were rice girls in our wedding----that's how far back we go! What a perfect cap to a great week with other Christians!
