Toad Hall

 


Toad Hall
Nov 3, 2010
 
Romans 8:6 “To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”
 
During the summer months, we have a toad that lives in a large pot underneath the leaves a potted plant. It has been fascinating to observe his daily routine. He hunts at night (evidence is left in the dog’s water bowl) in the shadows of the light, but he returns to the pot before dawn to nestle comfortably down for the day. Even upon close inspection, many times it is difficult to see him. One day while searching for this toad that was camouflaged by the soil, I realized that God knew his exact location, yet I could not see through his disguise. How many times have you met someone who seemed to be wearing a mask to hide from themselves and others? Gazing at this toad that was visible to my eyesight though I could not see him, I realized that I cannot hide from God. He knows my every move and thought. Instead of hiding, I must become one with God and lead a spirit-filled life and avoid being trapped by problems, deception and changing relationships. I must place my faith and trust in God because He will not fail me.
 
Dear Lord, Help me to walk openly and honestly with you so that I might find peace each and every day.

Pink Ribbons

Writing My Own Devotionals by Nancy Quillin Long 

 I wrote this after a beautiful morning at Possum Kingdom Lake. The images are from our mountain property in Wyoming.

PINK RIBBONS

With each day, there is a new dawn. In the early morning as the sun rises, it is truly a blessing to be there in the moment. The glorious colors of a new day in the making is something to behold.

As my husband and I were sharing that moment one morning, he exclaimed, “Oh, look at the pink ribbons in the sky.”  As I gazed up at the marvelous hues of the morning sky, I realized that there is new hope for each new day, and I felt God’s presence as if he were making that promise to me. It is no wonder to me that for breast cancer awareness, pink ribbons are used as a symbol for new hope. I must believe that at the start of every day, God is there giving me hope and letting me know that He will sustain me each and every day.

Psalms 31:24 "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.”

Emily Hulsey Sources

 MY Go-To SOURCES

Hulsey website DISAPPEARS

I discovered it was missing on 28 Jan 2025

Hulsey, Head and Huff Families in North Georgia

Once again, a huge family website with research accumulated / assimilated together has once again disappeared from the internet.
Their research was substantial, and I will forever use them as one of my sources. Makes it tough with challenges.
 I did however fine a tree on Ancestry by William Huff 1941 I would think that this is a direct family member.
With this last name, I would think that he made a ‘rough’ tree from the information…which is now defunct.
 List of this website…no longer accessible….all are the same website
