Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Test Results

If you haven't heard by now, the results of the CT scans Tim had on Friday were "normal" according to the doctor.  What that means is that nothing changed from the last scans.  That is a good thing.  However, it isn't exactly true.  A couple of the old lumps have started growing again.  One on his left leg and one on his right arm.  These areas are not scanned.  He discovered the one on his arm Thursday morning.  But, until tons of the tumors come back, he will remain on the combination of meds, #6 and 7.  We are so thankful for how long their effectiveness has lasted this round.

We only had a handful of people at church today.  Lots out with sickness.  I think Tim is finally over the cold.  I've still got something going on with the sinuses on my right side.  I get a headache and feel the pressure if I bend over.  Probably a sinus infection.  What a nuisance!  But, I'm thankful it isn't worse!

It has looked and felt like it could snow today.  There were a few rain drops right before the services at church started tonight, but didn't last very long.

Here are some photos I've taken the last several days.


The white on the mail box is frost.

This leaf was wet, but it looks like frost.

See how tall the daffodils are getting!  The overhang definitely saves them from the frosty mornings.  Today, it was 26 in the morning.


I was standing under the carport when I was taking these zoomed-in photos.  I am thinking this is a blue bird.  The wings had blue on them when it flew.



I went over to the edge of the house to get a better angle.  You can see the blue on his wings.


I finished knitting the cowl.

Modeling it.  This is probably the preferable way I would wear it.



Political correctness has even invaded the Girl Scout Cookies.  The caramel delites are no longer called Samoans!  It's enough to drive you crazy!!!

Trying to capture the rays of light shining through the clouds, but you cannot see them very well.




Here are some photos for the photo prompts the last couple of days:

Prompt:  i can't live without

And that about wraps up the weekend!  Have a blessed week!

Your camera is awesome!! I love the pictures you are getting.

I'm glad to hear Tim's results. Like he always says, he can live with tumors in his skin, not his organs. Praise God for extending his life - we love him here, selfishly speaking.

I cannot believe those daffodils!!
