My daddy used to quote the British philosophical writer James Allen saying, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so shall he be.”  I have begun to realize how our homes are really reflections and physical manifestations of our thoughts and desires.  They show who we are, what we value, and what we believe.  I chose to post pictures of some of our plaques.  The top ones hang above our entryway.  I doubt anyone realizes it, but they remain nonetheless, serving as silent sentinels for all who enter.  The bottom picture is one of my favorites and I have always found the poet’s name, Edward A. Guest, an irony.  It is my hope that anyone who comes into our home feels welcome.  It is also my hope that anyone reading this blog feels the same.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ~ Matthew 6:21
