There was a time when everything was perfect. A time when things were made just for us. Do you ever wonder why God made the “herb yielding seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit, whose seed is in itself,” on the third day? Possibly because it required time to grow. If you have ever read about creation in the book of Genesis, you’ve noticed that the flying creatures, such as the bee, was made on the fifth day just in time to pollinate the blooms that will sustain man upon the earth. Man was not created until the sixth day. By the time man arrived, fruit was upon the tree and all creation was good. Though God created all of it in six days, I believe that a day with God is nothing like a day here. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. – II Peter 3:8 Though God does not live in our timing, He does understand how important timing is. Though we are going through a difficult time, ...

As we go through this season try to remember all of the mighty works of our God and rest in the knowledge that He is in control. The rest that I speak of does not mean that we do nothing, it is a call to those who already have a relationship with God and speak to Him on a continual basis. And for those who have not spoken to Him in a long time or those who have never prayed, it is times like these that everyone should be actively joined together in prayer.  Please join me in prayer for our nation on the National Day of Prayer, Sunday March 15, 2020. Please pray for our nation, for those already suffering from the Coronavirus, and pray for protection from any new mutations from such a terrible sickness. Thank you and God bless!  © 2020 Laveda D.

I spent the morning getting the vegetable garden ready. While I was on a break, I noticed a beautiful little flower peeking its little head up at me.  I had to get my camera and take a couple of photos of these little beauties.  Also, I found gorgeous daffodils waking up out of their winter rest.  Look at the buds about to bloom in the background. Winter is almost over and watching the flower garden wake up and admiring the vegetable garden plants as they appear above the soil is an exciting time in my world. I would imagine that a garden anywhere is exciting for most people. May the growing season be as bountiful as can be with plenty of food for you and me. God bless and happy planting!  © 2020 Laveda D. Rockford #Beautiful #Blooms #Daffodil #flowers #garden #amateurphotographer #photography #author #writer #blogger #LavedaDRockford

In the previous excerpt, Wade and Cindy are ziplining across the expanse while Gina was startled by Sal. The team is getting ready to make a move. THE CASE OF THE BLACK PEARL RING: IN THE KITCHEN Screenplay excerpt *** THREE-SHOT George, Bart and Sam arrived at the top landing. George looked through the window into the corridor while Bart and Sam looked and listened for footsteps on the stairs. When nothing was heard or noticed, George contacted Cindy. GEORGE: “On the landing.” CINDY: “Good.” answered Cindy then added, CINDY: “Steve, is Brad and Ben in place?” STEVE: “Affirmative.” CINDY: “It’s time to rock and roll. No more contact unless necessary.” *** FS Brad picked up a tray, looked at the ticket and filled the tray with the plates of food listed on the ticket. He then walked to the swinging door and backed out into the banquet room carrying the tray. *** TWO-SHOT/ CAMERA FOLLOWING Wade opened the door quiet...

This is a photo that I took last year that I want to share with you.   I don’t know how you feel about this winter, but here in Missouri we have had our share of hardships. There is a community flu going around like there’s no tomorrow. Or just maybe there is a tomorrow but we haven’t arrived yet. You know the verse that says, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. – Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) A Beautiful Day Missouri, USA Laveda D. Rockford Well, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, the real tomorrow is going to be a very special time. Tomorrow is when time has ended and we are living in the afterlife. That’s when tomorrow doesn’t exist because God doesn’t live in time. Maybe, just maybe, our days will continue to be as beautiful as this photo. I hope you have a wonderful day and may all your tomorrows be as beautiful as this. May God bless you!!   © 2020 Laveda D. Roc...

WHAT IS THE LIKENESS OF GOD? A prophecy of the end of the age: And Jesus said, “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” – Matthew 24:12-13 Let Love Abound February 20220 Laveda D. Rockford The love of God is not something that we can measure. If you do a study on the love of God, it covers all aspects of life as we know it and beyond. Our God is so vast that His love covers us as a veil among the many who search and long for their groom. But we are assured of this… He shall return! So, do not let your love grow cold, and hardened, as the days go by. Gather strength in knowing that His love for us did not falter at the cross. He is perfection! For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. – Psalm 36:9 As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness. – Psalm 17:15 Let love abound for His glory! ...

In the previous excerpt Wade and Cindy are waiting for a bell to ring. In this excerpt, Salient Zoon, aka Sal, is surprised but not half as surprised as Gina. THE CASE OF THE BLACK PEARL RING: THE BELL RINGS SCREENPLAY EXCERPT *** TWO-SHOT CINDY AND WADE Cindy and Wade heard the bell and climbed up on the upper edge of the small wall getting ready to zipline across the expanse. Cindy clicked in on the rope and eased out.
