One Week Ago

Joplin, MO

If that still, small voice is nudging you to act, one week later,
here's how.

Franklin Graham, son of Reverend Billy Graham, created Samaritan's Purse.

I met Franklin's sister, Ruth, a week ago...



Please hear Franklin Graham's plea.


And the crowds asked him,
“What then shall we do?”
And he answered them,
“Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none,
and whoever has food is to do likewise.”

Luke 3:10-11

Island Bound

There's only one thing better than being in my Wee House during a full moon.

And that is being on Mackinac Island.



Yes, it's that time again. 
Heading to the incredible women's retreat...Win-Some Women.
This marks my 13th year, with many years attending both Spring and Fall.



My last trip, which was last Fall,
was with friend and fellow homesteader, Homemaker Ang.



And a second blue-eyed beauty, my Mother-in-Love, Sue.

Both women are beautiful, inside and out.

This trip will be just Sue and myself, one we've taken many times together.



I'm looking forward to meeting Laura Story.

And all the other wonderful speakers, which includes Rev. Billy Graham's daughter, Ruth.
I was so pleased to hear Billy Graham rallied from pneumonia last week, at the age of 92. 
PTL! (Praise the Lord!)



I'm also looking forward to the familiar, which makes the Island so special. 
Horse travel.
There are no motorized vehicles allowed on the Island.



Exquisite food.
Female fellowship.
The name of Jesus on everyone's lips, hearts, and minds.



I rarely leave home, but to me, Mackinac Island feels like home.
And I hope that never changes.



Wish you could be here wish us.

Perhaps next time. 
Let's plan...

Until tomorrow, God willing.
