Throughout our ministry my husband and I have always conducted services at nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Twice a month I now do a music recital at a nursing home. One of the most requested songs we get from the “old folks” is always the song “In the Garden.” It has also been one […]
Crispus Attucks one of five killed in the Boston Massacre Recently I shared a post about a statue of an African-American that my husband and I found when we were exploring a park in Charleston, North Carolina. One of my readers wondered how many statues there are in the USA of African-Americans. That started me […]
Reading of the empty tomb, there is one story that I love the most. Mary Magdalene is standing outside the empty tomb weeping in despair. All her hopes were crushed when Jesus died on the cross and was placed in a tomb. This man who had delivered her from the bondage of sin. This man […]
So many times, I think we have a “special” moment in our devotion time or listening to a good song or a good message. We get all excited and are ready to go out and save the world. But, in reality, we often miss doing what Jesus has asked of us in our daily normal […]
Do you ever read something in the Bible and think “what in the world does that mean”? Do you ever read something in the Bible and think “that doesn’t sound right?” Do you ever read something in the Bible and wonder “how does that fit in today’s society?” Well – I have done all of […]
After visiting Flint, Michigan on a recent trip, my husband and I traveled on to one of the most interesting little towns – Frankenmuth. Known as “Little Bavaria” the sign welcoming us gave a feel for what was to come as we explored the town. Its Bavarian-style architecture highlights its German roots. On of the […]
Listening to music this morning, this song brought tears – tears of joy – to my eyes. It has been 66 years since I started this race with Jesus Christ. There have been mountain tops of great joy, great excitement (to mention only a few – marriage, birth of children and grandchildren) and valleys of […]
It was three years ago today that my husband’s life was on the line. How thankful I am for these three years God has given us – and I look forward to more. Today I say “Thank you Jesus!” Grandma’s Ramblings About this time two years ago my husband fell in his art studio in […]
So many times, I think we have a “special” moment in our devotion time or listening to a good song or a good message. We get all excited and are ready to go out and save the world. But, in reality, we often miss doing what Jesus has asked of us in our daily normal […]
Reading with my husband in the book of James, I thought how much our country needs to heed the words found there. James admonishes us to: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires Wow! Sadly it appears we are slow […]
For those of you who follow my blog you know I recently stopped wearing a wig after 19 years post cancer and I am trying to get my hair to grow back. Give Me Hair!!! I have googled “hair loss” “hair growth” and read all kinds of articles and commercials on products that will help […]
You will see lots of pink ribbons this month as October has been designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In 1979 wife of one of the prisoners held by Iran in the hostage crisis decided to use a yellow ribbon to show support for her husband. Soon there were hundreds of yellow ribbons displayed around […]
The Bible lists nine fruit of the Holy Spirit. I find it interesting that it is fruit not fruits; singular not plural. Appears God desires for us to display all of His attributes; not pick and choose. It should be our prayer for all of the Holy Spirit’s presence to be shown in our life. […]
Before McDonalds, before Taco Bell, before Subway there was A&W. Growing up my family did not eat out too often. For one thing, our budget did not allow for such expenses but also there were not many fast-food chains like we have now. When we had the occasional treat, it was fun to go to […]
