but those who act faithfully are his delight.”

    Deborah, I'm so glad you enjoy Sabbath Keeping and thanks for letting me know, it's an encouragement. I enjoy finding topics, then quotes as it encourages me first.

    Hi Annie, it's been a great week, spent SAFELY, thank God! Snowing here, about 8 inches, and more expected to make one foot plus when over. Be safe out there!

    Hi Lynne, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh to the Father except through me." Jesus

    Hi Celeste, I am staying warm, thank you. Since finding out the furnace was broken, fixing it and fixing the inside insulation problem, this old house stays toasty! What a blessing! Many thanks for visiting and your kindness toward me.

    Hi Lisa, your quote is WONDERFUL, thank you!

    Sparky, works for me! Did you see where Albright, the old trout, said if women didn't support Hill there was a special place in hell for them? IDIOT

    Hi Ngoc, thank you for visiting Thistle Cove Farm.

    Yvonne, it's almost…almost…enough to make me get subscription t.v. again. I bought Season 6 DVD instead .

    Hi Dori, it makes me happy you like the winter header…it's a beautiful gift from God to be able to live in this valley. My challenge to you…come up with 30 words that describe YOU.

    Greetings from the winter-forest in Bavaria from Dori

    Love Mark Twain and Downton Abby. I am taking the phone off the hook Sunday at 8PM. Can't believe I have gotten so hooked on this show.
    About TRUTH wish the Politicians could spell it.

    It's quite fitting having a post about the truth when little miss "What Difference At This Point Does It Make" may be one click away from wearing an orange jumpsuit. Well done. ~:)

    So many claim to be trying to find the truth, when in fact they're going to great lengths to avoid Him.

    That's my quote, ha ha!

    Loved these!

    I like these quotes, but the one by George Orwell really caught my attention. These days telling the truth is getting more and more dangerous. I hope I have the courage to be faithful to the truth and the Truth.
    I went back and saw the post about your cemetery visit. What a beautiful place. I continue to lift you up in my prayers Sandra.
