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 29

Today, I am grateful for heat. When I was in the car earlier the thermometer said it was 20 degrees. Us east texans are not use to such cold temperatures. I put a light on my chickens last night and they were still alive this morning. I put wood shavings in Chisum's doghouse and this morning he came climbing out, so he survived, too. It is supposed to stay cold for several days. We are okay as long as the electricity doesn't go off.
