Do you ever wonder if God spends as much time with all of his children as he does with you? I do. He just will not leave me alone. He talks to me, he nudges me, he reminds me, he scolds me, he paints pictures in my mind's eye, and he stirs my heart. Since childhood, God has been revealing Himself to me through people, places, and growing things. Collected here to share are a few of those observations.
