Bright Eyes and the Turtle

On June 25th Bright Eyes found a box turtle in the woods near our home. She played with it for a while and took it to visit her friends in the neighborhood. Shortly after Mom learned of the turtle's presence I assured Bright Eyes that it would not be a pet. Later that afternoon it was successfully released.

Tomato Row Update

This is the tomato row as of July 3rd. You will see a picture from almost the same angle in my June 4th post. They sure have grown and are producing yummy tomatoes. Hope all your gardens are growing well.

A Mature Christian Woman

"She feels pain. She suffers great life disappointments. She knows rejection and loss and loneliness. She could give you a hundred reasons why life hasn't turned out or why every day could be awful. But the mature believer is able to resist living in bitterness. I believe she has not surrendered to this desperate attitude because in her grown-up faith she has learned to believe God instead." - Angela Thomas, When Wallflowers Dance

She has learned to surrender it all at the Cross.
