This is the first year that I’ve been able to attract hummingbirds. I have put out the same feeder year after year, and have even put enticing red sweet stuff in the feeder to lure them, but with no success. Just this year, my mom brought me a new feeder, and within a day, the hummingbirds started coming.
Something that I quickly began to notice with these Hummingbirds is that they are very territorial. It is rare to see more than one on the feeder at once, because as another comes, the other will chase it off.
There are like 8 feeding holes on this feeder, but yet only one, two at the most are ever on the feeder at one time. That’s my growing heart for the Body of Christ. That we would be a people united for the Kingdom of Christ, pulling on the same rope in order that “no one would perish”. I know that is Christ’s heart for us.
On a rainy afternoon about to sit down to finish my Bible Study, I hear my familiar beloved sound of the cardinal. He sounds so close, so of course I get up to look for him. I go to my kitchen to look in the Crepe Myrtle that I often see him lounging in, and…

Maples are strange trees unlike any I’ve seen. They hold onto their dead leaves right up until the moment that the new leaves come in. They don’t have blooms like other trees. At the appropriate, God given time, they just let go and new leaves come. It’s kind of crazy to look at them right…

The absolute brilliance of this sunset sent me chasing after it yesterday in my car. I felt like some kind of crazed storm chaser as I raced down a side road, not really even paying attention to whether there was any oncoming traffic. I had to get that perfect shot with no obstructions to block…

This tree is growing crazy. As I was looking at it, I kept looking for a break of some sort or whether it had been blown down by wind, but it hadn’t. If you will follow the line of the tree, it starts to curve to the right, and then continues to grow along the…

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1)I have new glasses (ughh). I’ve never had them before, and “some” people say that it’s just a sign of age, but…
