Today here in the United States we celebrate Memorial Day. This is a time we set aside to remember those in our armed services who lost their lives. Some of these people volunteered and some were drafted. But the final result was the same–they died defending our country. I am aware that in the times […]Read Post ›
For a while, I have asked a number of my coworkers about forgiveness. Being a supervisor, I am always aware of my role as having “authority.” As such, the first reaction was “Why, what have I done now?” I fully understand their reaction. There are times in my life when I find myself mired in […]Read Post ›
My wife and I share the same interest in the history of the various wars fought throughout history. War is never a good thing. What is interesting are the strategies, the heroes, and the untold stories that we hear through some of the shows we watch. And how God used those wars in some way to further his […]Read Post ›
I recently spoke with a person who is a ways into recovery and doing pretty well. He looks at all the aspects surrounding his dependency issues and plans a strategy to deal with them.

What will happen in the world that affect my life? Are there any health challenges coming in this year? Will I be happier, disappointed […]Read Post ›
The birth of Jesus should not have been a surprise to anyone of that time. Prophecies foretold his birth. And from now until Christmas Eve, I will share a few of those prophecies. Since they are from the Old Testament, some people may not be too aware of them, but the prophecies lay out the who, what, […]Read Post ›
“So what is your Christmas going to be like this year?” That was Henry’s first question to me. He had a way of looking right into me that said he was not going to utter another sound until I answered him. And then no simple “Ok” was going to suffice. Henry was dying or at least […]Read Post ›
This past weekend my wife, the dogs and I traveled to visit one of our daughters and her family near Detroit. Originally, the plan was to attend a harvest festival on Saturday, but the weather was not cooperating. Instead, our daughter scheduled us for an adventure called Escape Games. Basically, your group is locked into a room where […]Read Post ›
