"How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from you commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:9-11

Why do we try to conform God to our will? Live in His word and know true joy.

Psalm 25:4-6

God reveals the truth of our time and all time to us through Scripture.

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb."
Psalm 19:7-10

All the laws in all the books in all the libraries of the world are but a footnote to the law of God.

Don't measure success by society's standards. Use Christ as your measuring stick.

A Childhood Remembered ~ Pt. 1

While back 'home' for a wedding we had the chance to visit one of the places Hansdome lived while growing up.  We had taken a longer visit there last Memorial day shortly after the last residents moved out we were able to view some pretty amazing things (but didn't have the camera)...the 'houses' that Handsome and his siblings 'lived' in while they played.  It was interesting to see their personalities in each one of their playhouses!  My husbands had order and reason.  The had little paver bricks at the frong door and his last name painted across the top.  You walk inside and you see little chairs they nailed together out of scraps, empty tin containers that he got from his mother for his pantry, books, clothes, even a heat stove!  It was amazing!  Unfortunately due to tall grass and itch weed we were not able to get back that far.  But we did get some good pictures of the house, the barn, and three other out buildings.  The garage was already taken.  The date we stopped by: July 17th, 2010....the date the sticker on the door stated that the place was condemned: July 15th, 2010!  I don't know how the Lord allows things like this to happen, while our next trip 'home' is just over a month away, some or all of this place may no longer exsist!  Enjoy some of the pictures...I will be posting them in a series as I have many!




The things Handsome and his brother did inside this building was amazing...more on that in a later post!



I love taking pictures of old barns...and when they have sentimental value that is even better!

More to come in Part 2!
