Tessa Afshar 's Land of Silence is a work of fiction that shares what it may have been like to be the women with the issue of blood from the Bible who touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was made whole. I loved the opening Scripture "If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. When I thought, "My foot slips, " your steadfast love. O Lord, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. Psalm 94:17-19. This reminded me of something that I would watch on television regarding the Bible stories. The background of bible times humming through the book. The book may have been a work of fiction but the message of the Bible is the same When we can't lift ourselves up - If we reach out to Jesus and just touch the hem of his garment He can make us whole.

So what was happening on the pople Backyard Farm last year?
Here is a vintage post from last Sept. 2013
I haven't snapped a picture of the purse I made yet for all you but I did finish one today.
I was making a hat from some yarn that was really soft and realized there wasn't even enough yarn to make a hat so I had 3 skeins all different colors and said instead of taking this apart why not make a small rug with all of this, it was still too small and it ended up making a very cute little purse. If you like to crochet you can see that you can make a simple purse just by crocheting a square folding it over and adding handles. TA DA! ************************************** More dehydrating here.. I ended up dehydrating a ORANGE watermelon and a pink one and a few tomatoes today. Still more foods to put up and we were going to go shopping to pick up some more fruits and veggie this week so I was a little relieved to that we are skipping this week which will give me some time to catch up on some housework etc.. *************************************** As I am working here I am also busy watching movies as Momma is coming for a visit soon and I like to go through Netflix to find some good ones before Momma gets here so I don't have to hunt for them while she is here. So far I picked out 2 ..
and the other one is
I live with my husband and son so it is nice to watch a "Chickflick" once in awhile If you have a great movie to recommend that is on netflix.com please tweet me @R47R something family friendly my mom and I can watch with the guys.
I loved these! The world's first pure dried honey products...It's HONEY TO GO! The Honey drop is 1 tsp. of pure dried honey that is used to sweeten any drink. It is available in lemon honey and honey. The Honey LOZENGES which were sent to us from Honibe (Thank you HONIBE!) are good for sore throats and nasal congestion. - PURE HONEY when you need it the most! What Mom isn't going to just love this!
