The days are becoming warmer...but hey it's Texas! Bobbie garden is blooming and the first fruits of her labor have already been eaten. Lush, juicy ripe tomatoes are now gracing many of our meals. I really love ripe tomatoes with just salt and pepper...nothing better (yummy...is that a word?). Green beans are now coming off and soon we will have others to add to the boundy of her garden. Eggplant, asparagus, beans, tomatoes, okra and fresh herbs are now available to compliment the catfish, white bass and crappie...all fresh and all deliciously prepared. The Good Lord has indeed blessed us!

The Church on the Lake

We visited a small church on Sunday, on a hill , in the trees and overlooking a lake. A beautiful place for a church...I was moved to capture the moment...here are a few words "trying" to capture those magical moments.

The Church on the lake

Down the dusty road,
thick trees providing a canopy of shade,
glimpses of the lake flicker by,
no hint of the glory to behold

Almost hidden in the trees
a wrought iron gate appears
announcing a cemetery
and a church on the hill.

Up the winding drive you see,
the small neatly maintained cemetery,
grave stones marking history’s tribute
to those passing through.

Then the stone pillared porch framing the door,
that when opened is flooded with light,
mornings glorious light off the lake,
that baths the sanctuary with a heavenly light.

Music made by man pours out
paying tribute to God’s glory,
as the beauty of the trees and lake pour in
showing the best of Gods creation.

Love and harmony,
praise and prayer,
well up from all within,
the little church on the lake.
