The wee hours when I am alone with the Holy Spirit! Scriptures that come to mind when I need them the most! My home! Yard work! House work! Laundry! Linens! I could write a book just on, "linens!"

Swimming! Water! Oceans, seas, rivers, brooks, streams, water falls and lakes, Old photographs! little critters, babble of babies, silly talk of toddlers, seriousness of the young, adult mind.
