I have shared numerous devotionals on Facebook over the last five years. Most were biblically based, and others were reflections on life or humorous stories from my youth. Many of those were published earlier in "The Rainbow Book: A Collection of Facebook Devotionals." This book is

a companion work.

This house and barn were built about 1925, and my grandparents moved here in 1932. Following their deaths, my uncle and aunt lived here many years, and the house became the center of Voss family life. The old homeplace became my residence in 2017, and I cherish the opportunity to call it home.

I am grateful to the many readers who have enjoyed these devotionals over the years and have commented on them. They have been a vital part of my writing work and interest. I am also especially grateful to Jeffery McClendon for his tireless work and meaningful contributions as an editor.

Many of my earliest memories are associated with the house and barn. I was able to take pictures of both that seem to capture the essence of "the old homeplace" that is dear to so many relatives and friends. I hope you enjoy the pictures, and I also hope that the devotionals are a great blessing to you
