Amish Proverbs

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

  Spend enough time with the Amish, as authobsr Suzanne Woods Fisher has, and you’ll hear them repeat a catchy turn of phrase or short words of wisdom, like “Good character like good soup is usually homemade,” or “Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.” Suspended in these phrases are age-old lessons about […]

Sarah’s Garden

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

If you’re a regular reader here, you know I thoroughly enjoy books about the Amish.  I want to thank Thomas Nelson Publishers for sending me a review copy of this book.  I was not disappointed. Sarah’s garden is her refuge. She has a special way with plants and gardens, and has been nurturing and being […]

The Word Proves True

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

    Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, or else he will rebuke you, and you will be found a liar. Proverbs 30:5 & 6

Sewing or Sailing

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

I admit that today I would much rather be sailing than sewing.  I sometimes get an overwhelming urge to once more live and work at sea.  Today’s one of those days that I’m missing the life of a sea person. I had to memorize this poem when I was in the third grade and I’ve […]

Wealth Versus Poverty

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

  Better the poor walking in integrity than one perverse of speech who is a fool. Desire without knowledge is not good, and one who moves too hurriedly misses the way. One’s own folly leads to ruin, yet the heart rages against the Lord. Wealth brings many friends, but the poor are left friendless. A […]

The Bishop

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

  The game is on. FBI Special Agent Patrick Bowers’s cutting-edge skills are about to be pushed to the limit when a young woman is found brutally murdered in Washington DC. Her killers continue a spree of perfect crimes in the Northeast, but with nothing to link them to each other, Agent Bowers faces his […]
