Good versus Godly

Good Morning Company Girls!  I missed you guys last Friday while I was wandering around in Las Vegas.  I really did think about you, but just felt like a little "blog break" was in order. But, I'm so glad to be back with you today.

There's a definite feel of fall in the air, very cool mornings and warming up during the day, but just to about 70 degrees. The wind has been blowing like March, so that makes it feel much more like 50+ degrees. A bit chilly, but we're enjoying it.

I am a member of our local Garden Club and we took a very fun "day trip" a couple of weeks ago.  I don't know how many of you have ever heard of Natchez, LA. but it is home to a Spring and Fall Pilgrimage (touring old Antebellum homes). We toured a couple of the homes and what a "step back in time."  

There's really nothing like the charm of these Antebellum homes. The one above was actually occupied and the owners gave us the tour.  And, as you can see, they dress to match the period of time the home was built.  


A lot of the homes have these gorgeous Live Oaks growing on the grounds of the home with the Spanish Moss hanging from them.

And, the table settings are just unbelievable and to think that this was a daily occurrence, not something just done for company.  Can you even imagine?  But, isn't it beautiful! And, I'm pretty sure that the owners of these homes all had servants who took care of seeing that everything was lavishly done.

If you are ever near or want to plan a fun trip, I highly recommend visiting Natchez during either the Spring or the Fall Pilgrimage. Christmas is also a god time to visit. The little town of Natchez is filled with neat little shops and Bed and Breakfast accommodations.  It was a most fun day for sure.


I can hardly believe that it is already November! I was listening to a CD of  Priscilla Shirer teaching this morning and she mentioned our busyness. Our busyness doing "good things" but what about busyness doing "Godly things."  Do we

  stay so busy with the good that we have no time or energy left for the Godly?  I'm afraid my answer would be all too often, "yes."  It caused me to really think.  As I look back over my calendar and look ahead I see a lot of really good things on my schedule.  But, I'm pondering what kind of time some of these things may be taking from what's really God's best for my time. Ouch! 

And, speaking of time.....we will be turning our clocks back tomorrow evening and I really don't want to.  I am ready for the morning sun to greet me earlier, but I am not ready for dark at 5:15. I guess I want my cake and eat it too.  I just think there has to be a better way.  It takes Hubby and I a couple of weeks to adjust to the change and we'll both be ready for bed by 7:30 until our bodies adjust. ~chuckle~


Our local arts and craft show is tomorrow and I'll be there helping my Dad with his booth.  It is forecast to be a gorgeous day and we're hoping for  a big crowd of folks that are ready to buy.


Great chatting with you this morning and wishing for each of you a beautiful week-end. Thanks to sweet Rachel for hosting us each Friday.  She's just the best!
