My church has been doing a sermon series on the book of Daniel. At first glance you might wonder how a book written thousands of years ago has any relevance to today. As I listened to the messages each week I found it clearly spoke to our current culture today. As a Christ follower I […]
As a mother, I like to think that I am a source of wisdom to my daughters, that they look to me for advice and counsel. But it is really great when my daughters share words of wisdom for me. Recently my youngest daughter, who is a pastor, spoke something in a sermon that has […]

My latest prayer When I was a little girl I had beautiful red hair and my mother fixed it in curls like Shirley Temple. Everywhere we went people would comment on my hair and I felt special. As a teenager … Continue reading Give Me Hair!!!
Today is the third week I have not been able to make it to church. Two weeks ago I was in too much pain to go. Last week we were all snowed in and church was cancelled. Today I am suffering again from pain. Feeling a little down – I miss my church family, I […]
My daughter recently spent several weeks in Sierra Leone tutoring the child of a missionary family that was returning to the states for a year and wanted to make sure their daughter was prepared for school in the USA. My six-year-old granddaughter accompanied her mother on this trip. It was a great opportunity for my […]
This week my husband and I traded in our flip phones for a smart phone. I have resisted doing this for some time. It’s not that I am not computer savvy – but I must confess as I age and as the technology keeps making leaps and bounds, I fear that I will never keep […]

They seem to forget that being second means they have beat out many other teams. In the Olympics, athletics say they are going for […]
As my husband and I age, we find we are no longer able to be as active as we once were. For years my husband was a pastor and I worked alongside him teaching Bible classes, playing for worship and all the many tasks that come with serving a community of Christians. This year I […]

These thoughts are not my own – I am sharing the message my pastor gave us this week. She told us that if we make $37,000 a year we are in the ranks of the rich when compared to the rest of the world’s population. Then she listed the “rich” people problems we face all […]
