The White Cycle

Joy Joy Joy…how can we be joyous when all we’ve seen for the last several weeks is white.
With all the colors of the rainbow that he Lord provides for us to see…I think we are stuck in the white cycle.
I got to thinking about how many different colors of white there are, so I looked online at Sherwin-Williams and Bengamin Moore.  These business specialize in color and boy to they.
Sherwin-Williams has 204 and Bengamin Moore has 224 different shades of white.
I found it interesting about why they name the colors as they did.  Here are some of my thoughts.
Sherwin-Williams Extra White – must have a little extra stuff
Nice White – could this one be politer then the others
Simple White – is it easier on the eyes
Smart White – if I ever get to paint an office I’m using this one, it could make me intelligent
Dreamy White & Restful White – will I sleep better if I paint the bedroom with these?

Benjamin Moore
Timid White – this must be shyer then the other whites
Seapearl – wonder if this one is the same as Sherwin’s Oyster White
Pale Oak – would this look like a sick tree?
Ice Mist – must be colder then the rest
Cloud Cover – when there is a cloud cover it is suppose to be warmer so I like this one
Winter White & Winds Breath - OK we know these ones very well.

WHITE,  WHITE,  WHITE, does this make us have a hard time being joyful.
Just think about the white from Psalm 51:7
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
NOW THAT’S THE BEST WHITE EVER.

It was a good comparision between what you said and what God has made.

Thanks Butch! I know I can count on you to help give me ideas. I don't know if I tell you all my prayers but I've been praying about this for well over a year. Thanks for being a great friend let alone a wonderful husband that is a gift from God. I love you.

Bouncing Baby Joy – Two Perspectives on Innocence and Faith

When you hear the phrase  “bouncing baby,”  what comes to mind? For many of us, it’s the image of a giggling child joyfully bouncing on the knee of a parent or grandparent. It’s a universal and heartwarming moment—filled with laughter, love, and just enough strain on the legs of the “horsey” to remind them they’re not as young as they used to be. But they don’t mind. They keep bouncing, because the joy on that little face is worth every second. That exchange—tired legs for giggles—becomes a quiet testament to the strength of love. But recently, I was reminded that not all bouncing babies are human. I live in a quiet, wonderful small town in Nebraska. Each day, I have the privilege of taking a 25-minute drive to and from work. That drive winds through the Nebraska countryside, which in springtime transforms into a natural nursery. Bulls, pigs, sheep, and cows dot the fields. And in the midst of it all—new life. Baby animals discovering the world for the very first time. Just la...

What is your Dream House?

​What is your dream house? A Penthouse apartment? A mansion on the hill? A fishing cabin by a lake? Or maybe a tiny house? Think about it we have so many wonderful places we “could” live. Right? A farm house close to family. Or a house in a neighborhood with friends close by. Even a house that looks like it’s falling apart at the seams. We call all of them home. BUT: What about those who don’t have a choice? Poverty stricken people who are crowded into small areas with many others in the same circumstances. Choice they’ve made? Probably not or is it all they’ve ever known. In this holiday day season, we focus on a tiny baby who could have come down to a Kings castle with all the perks that come with it. Being waited on hand & foot, wanting nothing. However, this little one, the one we call Lord of Lords & King of Kings chose to come into the muck and guck of a sty made for animals. A stable, a manger. Luke 2:7 “She gave birth to her fir...

Wizard of OZ…ugh!

  Wizard of OZ…ugh! The first play I was ever in was the Wizard of Oz. I felt great because I was going to get to play Dorothy.  Looking back as an adult, I sometimes feel it was because I could “sing the song“.  Anyway,  that started my love for the movie, almost felt like I was rubbing elbow with Judy Garland because after all, we were Dorothy. (Yeah, I know ... that’s a stretch).    Ok, that’s the backstory, now to the Ugh part.     About a year ago, I started Audible (and BTW, love it). If you’re not familiar with it, each month there are Audible Original’s to choose from for free.  Now they are not necessarily their writings, but they are their narrations of others’ writings.  Well, I found in their Classics section, yup you guessed it, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.     I finished “listening” to it on the way home from work yesterday and had “struggled” to do so.   ...
