Jan Karon’s novels are excellent. I discovered The Mitford Museum site. The museum is in Hudson, NC and was founded by Jan Karon. The beautiful site includes more information and an online store.

how soon we reach
the end of what we know
and how deep
faith continues to grow
Poem from October 2014
“hear my prayer”
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness:
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Words from the Psalms
As I worked on this morning’s post, From Psalm 25, I thought again about the wonderful vocabulary list that can be created from the Psalms. For our series in 2020, I quoted from the King James Version. Over the years, I have read from different Bible translations.
soul
mercies
lovingkindnesses
“Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.”
An old haiku:
Deep calleth unto deep *
filling my heart with hope
greater than my mind
* The first line of my poem is from Psalm 42: 7 (KJV).
From Psalm 25
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
Remember, O LORD,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
Psalm 25: 1, 6

The small cemeteries by the country roads are maintained with care.
