My Baptism

Today I became a new person.  I met with my minister, studied over the scripture, and decided to be baptized for the remission of my sins.  I am so excited to enter this new life with my savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!  I have posted a painting depicting the baptism of the Eunuch from the Bible.  In some ways, this particular story helped me to come to the decision to approach the subject of baptism with my minister.  Just like the Eunuch, I felt there was truly nothing that should stop me from receiving redemption and salvation from my Lord Jesus Christ by obeying the gospel and being baptized.  I am proud to say that just like Eunuch, I immediately chose to be baptized and became a Christian today.

My Love Affair With All Things Quaint

I love the old and unique! Yesterday, I had to travel to Bryant to pick up a new valve system for our water heater. On the way there I stumbled across this old farm house with barn, silo, cows, and everything!! I love the contrast of the sky with the house! I never tire of photographing old country settings!

No Quilting, No Posting

It has been a long time since I've been able to work on any quilts.  I am hoping to get back to it this weekend, or next week.  I'll definitely be able to over spring break.  I've been very lazy for the past four weeks.  I spend my small amount of free time vegging in front of the TV, or reading a book.  Sooo, hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things, soon!
