They all shall sweetly obey thy will

The winds and the waves shall obey thy will, peace be still.

Whether the winds of a STORM tossed sea, or DEAMONS, or MEN, or whatever it be.

No waters can swallow the ship where lies, the Master of ocean and earth and skies.

They all shall sweetly obey thy will, peace be still.

They all shall sweetly obey they will,

PEACE BE STILL.

I love this hymn. Especially the chorus. I can always use a reminder, especially lately, as my hope in the world, and people, and goodness faulters, that I know who is really in control.


I love this print. Hopefully I'll get it to add to our picture wall.... It's from an artisit listed on Etsy. I was going to post a link, but my computer is being funny, so I'll add it to another post later.

Who wouldn't love..

..cream cheese, butter, and chocolate?

Nobody I know, that's for sure.

These were the best cookies I've ever made:

1/4 cup butter
8 oz. cream cheese
1 egg yolk
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 box cake mix (white/butter/chocolate/whatever floats your boat)

375 degrees for 10 minutes.

Yum-o. Serious Yum-o. Let me know if you try them...

1 new garden sown.

8 different guests we wish could have stayed longer.

4 of my favorite little ones. With 2 toothless 7 year old grins.

1 wonderful patient loving husband.

1 trip to the beach.

12 hours on I-95.

A box of Idaho Spuds (no, they are probably not what you're thinking).

A few hundred handfuls of hugs and kisses.

Accompanied by loads of laughter and sweet little giggles.

1 brother who's voice is way to deep all of a sudden.

A million minutes in the sweet sweet sunshine.

3 quiet evenings talking life with a best friend.

1 bouquet of gardenias from the yard.

1 visit from 2 people we really should have seen sooner.

3 jars of grams tomato relish.

1 jar of the same wonderful woman's raspberry jam.

2 trips to my favorite part of Jacksonville.

1 bag of sage brush smuggled by a thoughtful cousin.

1 pirated movie.

2 batches of cookies.

A handful of up with the sun mornings.

And 0 pictures to document it.

(Good thing Jess took a few)

That's what the best SPRING BREAKS are made of.

Now if only summer was here.....
