Titus, your grandmother and I want to thank you for this past weekend. We were able to be part of both your examination and confirmation. And now we will take our free pass as grandparents to share some things with you. Actually we share this because we love you–a lot. Listening to you at the […]Read Post ›
This past summer, I took some of our indoor plants outside and they did really well. The green plants increased in size by probably 30%. The flowering ones produced beautiful blossoms. As the weather began to cool, I brought the plants back into the house and returned them to their normal place in our garden […]Read Post ›
Has this ever happened to you? You are reading your Bible and suddenly a verse pops out at you which makes you stop and read it again. Since that last time you read that section, God reached down and added something–well it seems that way. There are also those things we remember from the Bible […]Read Post ›
Lately, I’ve been thinking about dreams. It’s not that I’ve had that many more memorable dreams. In fact, many times I know I dream, but often do not remember the content for long after I wake up. Rather, my want to learn more about dreams came after watching a video of a sermon. The preacher just […]Read Post ›
It’s been a long time since I posted anything. A lot of struggles and changes have occurred so that I am unsure where to head with this. So, I will start with when I was in church on New Years Eve.

I learned to pronounce so many different names including Oviraptors, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Protoceratops and Parasaurolopus. I read and was told how […]Read Post ›

I am not sure how you found my email address but I now expect your responses shortly after I post something. At first I thought you were someone who decided their purpose was to push back against […]Read Post ›
OK, so this week I turned sixty-five. In my younger years, this age seemed so far away. At that time, sixty-five was a milestone that meant you could retire. It was the age of my grandparents or that cat person who lived down the block. These were the people for whom my parents said I needed to open the door or offer to […]Read Post ›
I have to admit that Hebrews is not my favorite book in the Bible to read. There is a lot of pretty heavy stuff in there. My mind tends to wander a bit as I try to concentrate on the words. And then there is chapter 11, called the Faith Hall of Fame by many. Throughout the chapter I […]Read Post ›
We are just coming to the end of a two-week vacation. This is not the best of times for me. As I get older I appreciate more the time off with which I am blessed. Going back to my “regular” life gets more difficult each year. Sometimes I have a tendency to forget the blessings […]Read Post ›
