Flooding in Georgia


THE CREEK IS OUT!!!
Last year Georgia had a drought and the weathermen said it was so bad that it would take years to catch our lakes, etc. up. But "with God all things are possible". This year we have had an abundance of rain and everything is "catching up" quite nicely as you can tell here by the "river" that runs down my driveway and across the road to the overflowing creek!

My Front Porch View

I love this picture. That's my childhood home, my play place, my horseback riding spots. The creek, the woods..it all brings back memories. At night we sometimes hear coyotes howl and that starts our dogs off. My husband and sons have seen the coyote dens. This farm was given to me by my mother. After her death, it was disputed in court by my siblings and my mother's wishes were not honored.

Philadelphia- where the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787.


The Constitution is the law of the United States.
Constitution Day was September 17. The Constitution was signed on this day in 1787. Pennsylvania had the most signers with 8. My home state, Georgia, had 2 signers. New York had only 1 signer. They were a total of 39 delegates who signed the Constitution.
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
This is the Preamble to the Constitution. It is not law. It is simply a declaration of intent and purpose of the document. I'm studying a book on our Constitution by Dr. David Gibbs called UNDERSTANDING THE CONSTITUTION: Ten Things Every Christian Should Know About the Supreme Law of the Land. It's available from Christian Law Association, P.O. Box 4010, Seminole, Florida 33775-4010 or www.christianlaw.org

MORE COUNTRY ROADS


This country road leads to my home. I love this scene. We get to see this each morning as we check our mail ('cept Sunday, of course.)

TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROAD
