Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Jesus paid the price for your freedom.
I Peter 1:18-19
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,

from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

A - Assured of Eternal Life
You can know that you have eternal life

Draw near to God with full assurance of faith.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, 
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, 
and our bodies washed with pure water.

E - Everlasting Security
No one can snatch you out of His hand.
John 10:28
And I give unto them eternal life; 
and they shall never perish, 
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

A Blessed Sunday to you.

Debby - No, the horse isn't mine.  I've never owned a horse.  The name of this horse is Faith and lives on Farmer Bill's farm, which is on the Farm Loop.  Faith has a sister called Grace.

Day 18
Animal/Insect

I bet most of you thought I'd post a cow photo today.๐Ÿ™‚
Took the horse picture some time ago but
it is my favorite animal picture that I've ever taken.


Quite a handsome fellow this rooster.
Took this a while ago too.
He lived at the dairy farm on the farm loop.

This morning there was a mix of sun and clouds when I walked.
The temperature was 68 degrees with a slight breeze.

Driving to town I saw 4 deer along the way.
On the way home saw 4 rabbits.

You might not be able to find them in this picture but
there are two deer a little off to the left of the center.


Walked around both of the cemeteries to start and then over to the
ball park and around there.
Back to the pond and then continued down the main road
back towards home a ways, turned around,
went back to town and there ended my walk.


Rebecca was out walking Leo and
Sheila was out running.

Haven't been to the library for stitching in a few weeks
so was nice to get back there again.
I'm still knitting on the basket weave baby blanket.
There were 5 of us there today.

Heard some loud claps of thunder while in the library
and by the time I was home at lunch time
the storms came through.

Came home from the library with a couple more books to read
and couple more DVD's to watch.

That's it for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.
Thanks for stopping by.
