When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.…

  No way Castle was going to survive the departure of Kate Beckett (Stana Katic). Castle and Beckett were the show. It was time.   Lord, you're all that matters. Apart from you, we can do nothing – even if we have no idea who you are. Please lead those who don't know you to you. In…

  There is the faintest outline of Mt. Rainier in this before photo of the back side of the house before we lived here.   In this after shot, you see more of the house and not the spectacular view. That particular hose holder is gone along with the ladder. The fence is added. That bunch…

                    This doesn't give us a big picture of the whole kitchen, but there are some really nice features here which combine rustic with modern.

    You've seen the after. Now you can see the before. The metal sides in the before are green. In the after they are the same color as the newly painted body. The before doors (both man and garage/shop) were a chocolate brown and are now black.   The outbuildings you see in the…

          The ancient basketball hoop is no longer there. The black cyclone fence is new. The garage doors are new. And what a spectacular paint job, huh? Thank you, Lord. And kudos to the employees of Wheeler Painting and Restoration. So talented!   God in heaven, what you have done for us is nothing…

I love the flooring, posts/pillars, rock wall, and long counter. Very cool. Inviting.   Thank you, Lord, for the warmth and beauty of design. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
