Mosaic Monday~Macro Monday



The Westside Nut Club Fall Festival was this last week and we had a grand time.  The Kellers and Stauffers from INDY were down and we each had our moments at the Festival.  There is so much food and such a variety that you just don't know where to begin.  There's the chicken and dumplings, brain sandwich,  fried cookie dough,  Hay Stacks, chili and steak sandwiches.  And don't forget the rides.

This weekend was one of those Indiana weekends you just want to put into a bottle and save for a time in January or February when you want to go outside and revel in the glory of the sun and bask in its rays.  Glory be to God!

Thanks be to God!

Quick Note...


Due to continued problems with Blogger I have decided to take the weekend off...Will be back with post on Sunday and hope that perhaps by then I can access my dashboard.  Wishing you all a safe and adventurous weekend so that you can be one of the travel guides on The Adventure Tour Express on Wednesday.

What's In a Name?

A reflection I came upon today. I wish to share it with you as we begin the weekend.

[After healing and teaching many people the disciples, whom Jesus had sent out,] came back in great joy. "Lord," they said, "even the demons obeyed us when we gave them a command in your name!" ~Luke 10:17~

An American tourist was walking down a deserted rural road in Germany. She came upon a shepherd grazing sheep. A dog was diligently guarding the flock. "What's the dog's name?" she asked.

I'll spell it for you," said the shepherd. "I don't like to say it out loud unless I have something for him to do."

The shepherd's comment reminds us of how personal and powerful a name is. People in biblical times held names in extra-special reverence so it's no surprise that Jesus' name--when invoked--had power over demons

How aware am I of the power of the name of Jesus? How reverently do I use Jesus' name?

The Name of Jesus is honey for the mouth, music for the ear and gladness for the heart. ~Saint Bernard of Clairvaux~

We're off to INDY this weekend to celebrate Lindsey's 5th birthday early and deliver baby crib and nursery items to Marianne and Eric. Everyone have a grand weekend.
