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.

Late night in Texas







It is 2 a.m. and like a dumby I am still awake. It is Christmas night and I feel a little wired. I guess I am rebelling and staying awake late, because I don't have to go to work for over a week. I have been doing a lot of house work since the Christmas break began and I am tired. I was really sore yesterday simply from cleaning my house. That says something about how dirty my house was. I am looking forward to the day I will be able to quit my job and stay home full time. Maybe in a couple of years if the economy holds out.




In eight days Courtney will get married. I am excited for her; being a newlywed is such an exciting time of life. I think I will be sad, but I am ready for the wedding to be over. We really do like Darrell and look forward to having a "son". If I had been able to choose a husband for my daughter I can't think of anyone else I would have chosen. I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for them and their lives. The pictures are a couple of her bridal portraits.
