Hooray for peach pie! Love it!
I also love coconut cream pie, and pumpkin, and rhubarb too.
I enjoy a longer list than these but above mentioned, are my top 4 pie faves.

Here is a pic I made a while ago of a photo that Cardhu took. He takes really good photos, and I love to steal them. ;)

I think I made it with my software program called PhotoArtMaster -Gold. It's a really easy and fun program, but I can no longer find it online. I know it's from the UK.

Good night everyone. I think I'll read my scary book for awhile. ;) See you tomorrow.

Unless something heats up at the convention center.8^/

Amy, your poem “Hugs From Heaven” seems to have been authored by Charlotte Anselmo.

Thank you..I can also feel God while just looking out a window and I thank Him everyday for the birds and the critters He brings to my patio.
What wonderful people, creatures, experiences, and sights He has created for us to love, remember and enjoy.

Foundation Of The Heart

READ: Psalm 131

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother. —Psalm 131:2

The great cathedrals of Europe are not only breathtaking but intriguing in their architecture. Because their massive ceilings were too heavy for the walls to support, flying buttresses, or external extensions, were built to support the expansive roofs.

Although we are “the temple of the living God” (2 Cor. 6:16), I wonder if we are not more like these cathedrals, with buttresses of external influences holding us up while we remain weak at the core. Pastors, friends, rules, books, and small groups are helpful to support and bolster our faith. But if we depend too heavily on them, they can actually distract us from developing a healthy heart for God.

Our heart is the place where God meets and relates to us personally. It’s where He allows us to respond to His correction. Spending time in His Word and in prayer opens the door for Him to interact with us at the deepest levels of our need and gives Him opportunities to comfort and convict. As we open our hearts to Him, He fans the flame of an intimate, life-changing relationship.

Authentic Christianity is the inside-out expression of this dynamic relationship with Jesus that provides the strength to live for His glory—regardless of what is happening on the outside!

Speak, O blessed Master,
In this quiet hour;
Let me see Thy face, Lord,
Feel Thy touch of power. —Grimes

When you open your heart to the Savior, He opens your mind to His Word.

Bible in One Year: Song of Songs 1–3; Proverbs 20:1-10
