Wow. Dual ranges. Dual ovens – one convection. Two sinks. Love the tile floor and granite (?) countertops for the island and counters. Wish the island didn't have that "dividing" feature. Looks like the fridge and microwave are in the other part of this "divided" kitchen with an easy chair? And I need backs…

Okay. It's Monday. And here's another kitchen. This one would work in a house, but it looks to be an urban apartment. Love the brick, wood beams, and floor. Large. Open. Must be one big pricey apartment.   Thank you, Lord, for sharing your beauty on earth. May we always appreciate it. In the Name of…

       Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Moved by the…

    Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Celebrate the arrival of the Savior of the World. Joy to the World: the Lord is come.   Thank you, God. Our rescue is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus, we rejoice because of you. Holy Spirit, we know Him because of you. Thank you is…

     I'm not into diamonds or much jewelry, but I do appreciate creative commercials about love. Romance without all the sexual innuendo. Nice commercial. Kudos to Zales.   Father, we don't know love until we know you. You are Love. Thank you for loving like you do. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  Merry Christmas indeed at this wonderfully warm setting.   Love Christ-mas, Lord Jesus. Love you. Thank you is never enough. Amen.  

                                          In Book Three of the prequels to the Raleigh Harmon Mystery Series (which features the adult FBI Special Agent Raleigh Harmon) we see Raleigh at almost 16 years old headed out with her weird Aunt Charlotte in her aunt's ancient Volvo to participate in a billionaire's science contest with four other contestants on Ocracoke Island. And although these are labeled YA,…

   In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.    So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to…

  Really don't care for the dark accented wood (again contrasting with the cabinetry), but this is an interesting combination of designs. I love the ceiling, the floor, the size, the chandelier, and the glass doors on some of the cabinets – but not my favorite. Feels "off" to me. Too much contrast and "busy-ness".   God,…

    An oldie but a goodie. When aren't these commercials fabulous? Love their beauty.   Lord, the sacred birth of our Savior can be celebrated in a multitude of ways. Every good and perfect gift comes from you. Thank you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
