39 Years of Thankfulness

Today it has been 39 years since I took my last drink. When I had the idea to write this post, I planned to share how I stayed sober all those years. After staring at a very empty screen for over an hour, I realized I had nothing to write because it I didn’t have […]Read Post ›

I Want That!

What do these all have in common? A $100 savings bond – doughnuts – a beer and a shot – hot dogs – a chance to win airline tickets or a new vehicle – a $500 food card – cheesecake – a dessert on a stick? Those are all items offered by various businesses to […]Read Post ›

It Was Better In Egypt

If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat around pots of meat and ate as much food as we wanted, but now you have brought us out into this wilderness to have this whole community die of hunger. Exodus 16:3 Every time I read through this […]Read Post ›

I’ve Learned That …

It’s been about a month and a half since I retired. I was unsure what it would be like to no longer have scheduled employment as a part of my day. I did receive input from others about their experience and that information was useful. However, that was how it worked out for them and […]Read Post ›

Indeed! His Victory–My Salvation!

Easter! Three days after “It is finished” came “He is Risen!” Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins was accomplished on Good Friday and on Easter came his triumphant return to  life.  His victory over death was completed and because of what he did, so is mine. Oh, how I have celebrated that gift. In my life […]Read Post ›

The Teacher is Always Quietest During the Test

We have just come through the time of the school year for exams. I do not know about you, but exams were not my favorite memories from school days. As I look back, I have to admit those negative pictures most often came from not applying myself completely. But at that time, I thought a lot differently. I can […]Read Post ›

Dear Ava

Ava, your grandmother and I wanted to take a little time to tell you how proud we are of you. God blessed you with so many talents. You are a wonderful artist with your paintings and drawings. Every time we see one of your creations we smile with wonder as we try to predict how […]Read Post ›

Nose Dive

Last Wednesday I fell into an issue. We were leaving our house to take the dogs for a walk. I locked the door and turned to step off the porch. What I failed to notice was my foot was tangled in the tie out for the dogs. Aided by a madly pulling dog, I preceded to […]Read Post ›

Subtitled

Except when it comes to foreign films, I have never been a fan of subtitles. It always seems like so much more work to have to read and watch at the same time and to also ignore the spoken words in a language I do not understand. And then came Ice, our younger dog who, being young […]Read Post ›

Psalm 139

Good morning, Lord Lord, you have investigated me, and you know. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You understand my thoughts from far off. You keep track of when I travel and when I stay, and you are familiar with all my ways. Before there is a word on my […]Read Post ›
