Sunday Testimony

I want to share a few words of my faith with you.  I believe in salvation through Jesus Christ and the only way to heaven is by Him. I believe in God the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost. With that being said, I do not base my spiritual relationship on religon or any certain denomination. I am assured we are to be good stewards of this world that we have been intrusted with. I believe all things where given to us for our good if we choose to use what we've been given with perspective to our creator.

Mater Sandwhich and a Cold Drink

yumm...

True Southern Comfort

Here is my reward for my yard work complete. Nothing is better or more southern than a tomato sandwhich and the beer is just a hankering I have after mowing. I know what you southerners are saying as you look at the pictures of my sandwhich your saying to yourself. Did she really toast that bread and is that really Dukes mayonaise. Yes, I toast my bread just slightly because my tomatoes are so juicy I can't manage to eat it. No, it isn't Dukes. It's Kraft with olive oil. Please forgive me. I also like my sandwhich heavy on the pepper and alittle bit of garlic salt. It was so good and juicy that when my napkin turned to a piece of goo my dog quickly ran up and ate the whole napkin. No matter where you live if you want to feel a little southern slice up a tomatoe and give yourself a real blessing. As always thanks for stopping by.

Simply Southern

I've posted a few pictures from around my home. I want to give you an idea of the style of life we live. Our home sits at the bottom of Carter Mountain. This isn't a particularly known mountain and the only access is basic dirt road that turns into more of a path the further up the mountain you go. The house has three bedrooms and one bath. The yard is not quite a full acre.

My style of living is simple country. I prefer things to have a purpose. I enjoy gardening whether it is roses, pansies, tomatoes, or okra. I have tendency to plant in small patches due to the soil being rather poor on the property. I do complost to build the quality but that is a slow process. I would love to bring in truck loads of soil but that is a costly endeavor. I usually work with what I've got.

I've seen alot of beautiful places in this United States but nothing makes me feel like home as when I start to see that Blue Ridge Mountain range come into view and the sweet smell of honeysuckles and the sent of tobacco cured in the barn.

I've enjoyed other bloggers views of their homes and their ways of living so I thought making sort of a diary of my own would be a great way of sharing the blessings bestowed on me. I wish to inspire you to count your own blessings, love your life, and to work with what you've got.

As always thanks for stopping by Southern Direction.
