About Me and My Blog

I am a Christian wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, friend and who ever else I am. I have been married for thirty-one years to my best friend, Greg. We live in a small town in East Texas. I am the FCS County Extension Agent. I enjoy sewing, camping, gardening, spending time with family, traveling, riding with Greg on his motorcycle. I am learning about beekeeping, soapmaking, rainwater catchment and other farmish type activities.
The name of my blog comes from a sermon I heard once about a time when Paul had been arrested and was being taken to Rome as a prisoner. The ship, on which he traveled found safe harbor, for the winter, at a place called Fairhaven. The captain of the ship wasn't content with staying so he set sail again and later was ship wrecked. I apply this to my life in that I want to be content with where God has me and what he has for me. If I am not I may end up like the ship that carried Paul, shipwrecked.

I really don't mind helping people, but sometimes I wonder if we have a neon sign that flashes over us that says something like "Why should you work we do, just ask for money". Last night I took Jennifer to Jasper to get some things she needed to take with her to rehab. I didn't mind, I wanted to help her. We got back to our house and were about to eat and Ashley one of our neighbors came up and needed diapers for her baby. I left what I was doing and went to the store and bought her some diapers. When I got back home Greg tells me our neighbor called and wanted to know if we could pay his light bill. Enough is enough!!! don't you think? I told Greg I would just lay my bank card out by the street and any one that needed it could just stop by and use it. What is wrong with people? Have they never heard of working to have money to meet their needs?
