Disclaimer: My thoughts on this post all came from a sermon I heard this past Sunday. Guess that this post might be considered plagiarism. Since the minister that spoke is my daughter, hopefully she will forgive me for stealing her thoughts. She spoke of our need for God’s grace not just at the moment we […]
My young granddaughter loves to watch HGTV with us. She especially loves the show “Flip or Flop.” Recently we took her to see an old factory that was being torn down. Piles of brick and twisted steel were everywhere and there was still a large portion of the building standing with big gaps in the […]
When my girls were growing up I tried to share with them from the Word of God and prayed they would love the Word as much as I did. For years I was the teacher. But that has changed now. Phone rings. The caller ID says it is my daughter, Jessica. When I answer I […]
Granted, I am concerned about Ebola becoming a serious issue for our country. I have no idea which side of the fence I should be on in this argument about banning travel and putting quarantines in place. I’ll leave that issue for those more qualified than I am.

There is a poem that has been printed and read for years at Christmas time. I have often read it but until this year I never really questioned who wrote it or why. Writing this month about my memories of past Christmas times I thought of this poem and decided to find out who wrote […]
I recently wrote about Moving On and Cleaning House where I shared that I was ending a life time of teaching and assigning my years of notes to the recycle bin. Before I could get the waste can out to the recycle bin in the garage, a young woman who teaches and preaches asked me to […]
The forests in Michigan in the latter half of the nineteenth century helped build the expansion in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee. Along with the abundant supply of trees in Michigan, the Great Lakes provided the means to transport the lumber to these cities. But lighthouses were necessary for ships to navigate safely in […]
The following is from a Good Friday sermon my husband shared this year. I thought it was so good I wanted to share with my readers: There are many great mountain top experiences in the Word of God. On Mount Horeb, God spoke to Moses from the burning bush On Mount Sinai, God wrote the […]

Once again we hear about the war on Christmas. And once I again I share this post from 3 years ago. May Christ be a part of our lives all year long. Grandma’s Ramblings Facebook is full of posts about saying “Merry Christmas” vs “Happy Holidays.” We go through this scenario every year. Christians judge […]
