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 30

Today, I am grateful I was born in 1959 and grew up during the decades of the past. I look at my students and all they have to deal with and wouldn't want to be a teenager in the 21st century. I know people who are older than me probably thought the same thing about my generation. There seems to be very little shame, moral purity, honor or respect amoung this generation. The Lord, Jesus is the only hope and I hope I can show his love to these lost, wandering kids.
