Flowerbeds and Missions Conference

Here are some pictures of the new landscaping we did at the front of our house. It was a fun project, and we can't wait to see how the new plants grow. The cats were pleased that we went out and made them a new place to play hide and seek.

During the summer, Momma and I planted Spanish tarragon, Navajo sage, marigolds, bee balm, and African daisies in one bed. They are still doing well, so we left them in the ground. I also planted zinnias and nasturtiums from seed. We added pansies, violas, dianthus, lavender, thyme, snapdragons, cosmos, and petunias. Then we transplanted a rosemary that had outgrown my herb garden and a rose that had been doing poorly where I originally planted it. I hope our new plants grow big and beautiful.


Last night we attended a missions conference. Several missionaries spoke about their work in various parts of the world. The keynote speaker was a man named Mr. Otto Koning, and we really enjoyed his message. He has been a missionary to Papua New Guinea, and the things God showed him on the mission field are vital to the Spirit-filled Christian life. He has recorded several of his messages, and we watched two of them. I highly recommend Mr. Koning.
