So, today Jaedyn, you were confirmed. You promised that you will stay faithful to God and strengthen your faith by regularly spending time in the Bible and receiving the Lord’s Supper. That is such a marvelous commitment. That’s the same promise that your grandmother and I made 59 years ago. Some things have changed since […]Read Post ›
Helena, As I sat at your examination for confirmation and heard you share what you believe about the Bible, I was impressed. It is obvious that the Holy Spirit is working faith in your heart and you are willing to confess and trust in your Savior for the rest of your life. And so you […]Read Post ›
At least once every day I see myself in a mirror. On the surface, that is a good thing. There I can see if my hair has that combed-by-a-pillow look, or my beard is taking over my face, or if I need to increase the sunblock coverage on my ever-growing forehead. I find in my […]Read Post ›
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.

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 went expecting to hear a message encouraging me to review the past year and look into 2019. […]Read Post ›
We visited our grandkids in Texas in February and found out that they are really into dinosaurs. Just about every picture they drew and a good number of books they read had at least one dinosaur. I learned to pronounce so many different names including Oviraptors, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Protoceratops and Parasaurolopus. I read and was told how […]Read Post ›
Dear Anonymous, It has been a while since you started to send me emails about my blog posts. 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 ›
