"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

  3. My monthly fix of crepe myrtle! Of course I enjoy what else won't grow in my zone. We here (not me, personally) do have Rose of Sharon, which is one of few summer flowering shrubs, and I enjoyed yours, too.
