Home - Haven - Home !

"Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. 

They should be a reflection of our eternal home, 
where troubled souls find peace, 
weary hearts find rest, 
hungry bodies find refreshment, 
lonely pilgrims find communion, 

and wounded spirits find compassion.”
~ Jani Ortlund

'Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still.'

Chinese Proverb

I could not at any age be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived and curiosity kept alive.

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Doin What Needs To Be Done

" Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to MAKE YOURSELF... do the thing you have to do... when it ought to be done... whether you like it or not. It is the first less that ought to be learned and however early a person's training begins - - - it is probably the last less a person learns thoroughly. (Thomsa Husley, British biologist)

I'll tell you my version/story of this quote a little later on. I've worked for the state for the last twelve years.... and found a booklet of horse sense and common sense..... Is it no wonder that I didn't throw it away. I would trashed it today... but look what I found!!!
