The rest sit around it and Pluck blackberries.” ~Elizabeth Barret Browning Detecting nobility in the commonplace requires that you have been given eyes to see and that you purpose to meditate on His wonders: that which is lovely, true and honorable. “Earth is crammed with heaven,

Spring early mornings are among my favourite common places, because they bring a faint scent of summer and warmth... If I could take a picture of such feeling I would post it :) Have a wonderful day!

Not all experiences have to be spectacular, memory makers. Often times conversations around the dinner table are more significant memory makers.

I think he has a lot of wisdom to share and lot of charisma in his presentation. It's a good mix, and when I make time to listen to his messages or messages by many other speakers (I'm a big fan of Voddie Bacham among others) I find myself deeply impressed by what they have to say.

(Please correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm just curious as to the fairly-sudden Doug Philips inundation on your blog...seems like you're posting much more about Doug and what he thinks than about your family, as you usually do. Any reason why? (This may sound more accusatory than it's meant...please assume no accusation, just curiosity.)
