Thinking this month as we celebrated Veterans Day of the Veterans in my life. In many ways their experiences were similar. No doubt they could have shared with each other stories of boot camp, of foreign lands and the homesickness they must have felt as they left family and friends behind for their tour of duty. […]
I have written about this day before, but every October the memory of that day returns. First, it was in October that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Second, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. And – I can never stop telling about this wonderful story of God’s love and mercy to me. If you […]
After a trip to the emergency room followed by a stay in the hospital last month, I was given a heart monitor to wear for two weeks. The results of that monitor required a visit to a cardiologist. Now I am scheduled for a heart catheterization. But in the process of my visit to the […]
My town of St Johns Michigan recently had an car show during the annual Mint Festival. One of the cars there was extra special. It featured the era of Al Capone and the Untouchables. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Last week my husband and I returned from a quick trip from our home in mid-Michigan to southern Illinois. We had gone south for the funeral of my sister-in-law who died just ten days before her 91st birthday. Returning home, I was so anxious to sleep in my own bed. All that morning as we […]

Asked if he thought Jesus was Caucasian as depicted in many paintings, Dr. E.V. Hill gave this answer: “I don’t know anything about a white Jesus…I know about Christ, a Savior named Jesus. I don’t know what color He is. He was born in the brown Middle East; He fled to black Africa; and He […]
My husband’s older sister recently died. Eight years older than my husband he always loved visiting with her. He has written a poem which I wanted to share today in her honor. While we grieve it is not without hope. Mary committed her life to Jesus Christ years ago, so we share that hope of […]

Just because someone plays Beethoven badly does not mean Beethoven was a bad composer. Just because someone lives the Christian life poorly does not mean that Jesus is not worth following. God does not ask you to be like other Christians, He asks you to be like Jesus Christ. That is a BIG difference.
I wrote this blog several years ago but today’s sermon reminded me of this. Our pastor is giving a series on the life of Joseph. One question she raised was when we do not know what to do, who do we turn to? This brought back the memory of how God is always there for […]
We think of Alaska as American territory, but the first permanent North American settlement in Alaska by non-natives was Russia in 1784. Emperor Peter I commissioned Vitus Bering to explore the area. He led an expedition from 1725 to 1727 making a map of the northern part of the Pacific Ocean. Following his explorations, it […]
