Some
of my most viewed posts include those with scripture and photographs. The
gardens at the State Botanical Gardens of Georgia are in full bloom right now
and the roses especially are incredible. I wish I could take a picture of the
scent in that area and share it with you. Along with sharing rose photographs,
I also include promises from scripture that have meant much to me over the
years. This is in no way a conclusive list, but simply a few from a great many—some say there are more than 7,000 promises of various
kinds in scripture. Take a moment to ramble with me through the roses as we ponder
the wonderful promises of God.
