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.

Day 26


I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing Don to get to the hospital in time after his heart attack Tuesday. Our friend Don Gunter had some pressure in his chest Tuesday. After it eased off he went outside and helped the guy painting his house. Wednesday night we had a meeting at their house. Thursday Greg called and Don was headed to Beaumont because he had had a heart attack Tuesday and didn't even know it. It ends up he had 6 bypasses done yesterday. At least four of them were over 90% blocked. If the one main artery had gotten 100% blocked he would have died instantly. God is so good. Don had just gone in for a check up at the clinic and to get a referal to the diabetic doctor. The doctor sent him to the hospital in Jasper and they sent him to Beaumont. God isn't finished with him yet and I am very happy about that.
