Silent Sermon Sunday

I am the master of my fate:
I am the keeper of my soul.

One More Reason To Blog!

I would like to introduce you to Linda! That's not this day-lily's real name, for that's been lost. However, Linda is the best name for her. She is one season old. She came all the way from Washington state to live in my garden. Just because I admired her when I saw her...

...on another's blog!

Linda is a glass artist and gardener. I met her through another blogger who is a jewelry artist and well, the thread winds through and around and now both of these talented women, who I have never met in 'real' time, have become friends. Amazing.

If you want to see a garden that you'd love to sink down in and just spend hours looking around, then by all means, go see Linda at, An Artist's Garden and enjoy your visit.

Please note: You CAN NOT have the turquoise Adirondack chairs for I am taking those, and also the bird house...hands off, that's mine too! Oh, and the glass bird baths, any of those are most likely mine. Don't argue with me. And, enjoy your visit.

Linda, I am thrilled that Linda rewarded me with a bloom the first season of being up and here. When we move? She goes with me!

Belief With No Direction

I absolutely, with all that I am, know the power of prayer. I know that it works. I know this without question.

And yet, there are times, that no matter how much I believe this, I still can't pray. Not because I don't want to, but just because...

...I absolutely do not know what to ask for or how to express my feelings. There is so much that is needed; so much that requires Divine Intervention. My hopes and needs seem precariously perched on the jagged edge of the Abyss of Disappointment.

I am afraid that even a whisper...my whispered prayer...it could be enough turbulence to pitch them like leaves over the side.

My feelings are a fog that swirls about me.

I don't know what to ask for...is sitting in silence the answer, then?

Dear God,
I am here... Amen
