A few weeks ago, my wife and I took a trip to see our daughter, her husband and our grandchildren in Texas. My wife gifted us with a trip on Amtrak so I could experience the almost 1000 mile trip without having to drive. The trip was almost 21 hours and I have to admit, is pretty […]Read Post ›
We recently watched all the episodes of Call the Midwife. This is a period drama series about a group of nurse midwives working in the East End of London in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The series was created by Heidi Thomas, originally based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth who worked with the Community […]Read Post ›

When I started this blog sixty posts ago, the purpose was to explore changes in this world God has given to us. Just as important is how we adjust to those changes while living a life of thanksgiving to our Savior for his wonderful gift of salvation. There are changes in technology which really impress me.

My wife regularly plays Words with Friends (WWF) since one of my daughters convinced her to play over a year and a half ago. She now has several games going at a time with various family members.

I had just climbed round and round up 129 steps of the lighthouse to a height of ten stories. For a guy who has issues climbing a six-foot ladder, I thought I was pretty hot stuff. And then, I even went outside on the observation deck to not only have this picture taken, but to also […]Read Post ›
