Change

September 10, 2026

“Change is a powerful, sacred force… The transitioning landscape is a testament to the Creator’s steady hand in a chaotic world.” (A quote from today’s devotional in These Days)

The snow capped mountains soon give way to barren mountain tops … but each season has a beauty of its own.
“The environment is a living sanctuary…”
In sunshine or rain, give thanks for the natural world’s beauty.

“The psalmists frequently personify the natural world, giving mountains, forests and seas anthropomorphic attributes…”

The trees clapped their hands!

The hills were singing 🎵

The Lord reminds us we are new every morning! Embrace change!

Happy Autumn to you, my friends. Embrace the day. May the majesty of the natural world remind us all that God is in control. Breathe deeply in the holy refuge of creation.

Amen?

Love, JanBeek

Talkative Boston

September 9, 2026

If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

Karen Kelly posts the cutest Boston Terrier images!

Our Kenny looks very much like this Boston. And at 2 years of age he still is very much a puppy! Even though he has calmed down some, his energy level still creates a challenge at times.

Occasionally you can see him resting on his favorite blanket, but usually he is up and about looking for mischief!
What would his first words be? “Tummy rub!!”

How about your pet? What would the first words be? Kenny’s other “first words” would be: LET’S PLAY!

Hugs,

JanBeek

Gorgeous Airport

September 7, 2026

What’s the best and worst airport you’ve been to?

Bozeman’s Gallatin Yellowstone Airport is the prettiest airport I’ve ever seen. I wish there were more direct flights from here to the places I want to go!

What’s the best one you’ve flown in or out of?

We’re headed to Switzerland to spend time with our daughter & her family next month. Our great-grandson’s celebrating his 2nd birthday. I wish there was a direct flight to Geneva!!

Where would you like to go on your next flight?

Love ya,

I filled in at the pulpit today. Our church is in transition as we search for a new pastor, so we’re passing the leadership role around. Wanna tune in to my message for today?

I hope that link works for you.

Have a blessed Sunday night, a Happy Labor Day and a great week! I’ll talk to you later.

Starting September

September 1, 2026

Starting September simply

Steady steps and sure

Waiting, watching, walking

September thoughts are pure

Great-granddaughter grins

At a walk-athon with friends

Fund-raiser fun and frolicky

Tackling new trends

I’m walking with you in prayer and support

Love,

GG

Kindness

August 31, 2026

What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?

She birthed and loved me

Rocked me gently on her knee

Taught compassion, gave me life

Showed me kindness all her life

Thank you, Mom!

Hugs, JanBeek

R.I.P. Dolly

August 25, 2026

The world lost a very special lady today. Dolly Parton was only 80. Much is being said and written about her today. She had more than 25 number one hits. Song writer, singer, philanthropist, generous friend to all … and so much more. Books for children: that’s one of her legacies. A great lady for many reasons, but she loved Boston Terriers just like we do. So of course I love her and will miss her.

See, there’s a pup like our Kenny!
Sorry Kenny never met her!
A very special lady!

God bless you, Dolly. May your songs bless your heavenly friends, too. Sing on!!

Love, JanBeek

Tattoo?

August 24, 2026

If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?

“HAD to get?” That means someone else is in control and s/he would decide… like when they tattooed numbers on the Holocaust victims. Tragic. They had no choice. I would not choose to be tattooed! But if I HAD to and I had a choice, I’d have a tiny heart on the bottom of my foot. “Walk in love!”

Hugs from JanBeek ❤️

How do you deal with uncertainty?

Pray for guidance

Reach out. Ask. Listen. Hear. Obey. Enjoy right choices. Live in gratitude and grace.
