My husband and I visited the Fort Custer National Cemetery today. We were impressed by the entrance to the cemetery. All along the main road were rows and rows of flags. This Avenue of Flags was dedicated May 26, 1986. It is composed of 152 flagpoles located along the main road, and an additional 50 […]
In 2015 the church in England had an advertisement which featured the Lord’s Prayer set to run before a Star Wars movie. The cinemas banned the ad because they said it might be offensive to some. In response Bishop Steven Croft wrote an article saying “from the perspective of the spirits of the age, there […]
Dr. Randy Lovelace did the physical testing for NASA to help with the selection of the Mercury astronauts. His vision went much beyond just getting a man into orbit around the earth. He thought someday we would have space stations orbiting the earth where science research could be done. If that should happen, women would […]
We all love super heroes! Iron Man Spider-Man Batman Captain America Green Arrow Hulk Aquaman Ant-Man Thor And the list could go on and on. We have a love affair with super heroes. We dress up like them. Our children carry backpacks with their images. We buy comic books, watch movies and TV shows where […]
Those who follow my blog know that I lost my hair 19 years ago after 16 treatments with three powerful chemo drugs following surgery for breast cancer. Although the doctor assured my hair would come back for years I did not. It was only a few years ago that we found out that one of […]
My husband and I recently visited Holland Michigan on our first trip checking out the lighthouses in Michigan. While we enjoyed seeing “Big Red” the real treat was enjoying all the beautiful tulips around town. The weekend before had been their annual Tulip Time Festival. For almost 90 years this annual event has featured over […]
One of my favorite Psalms is 139. Reading it today this portion stood out to me. One of my daughters has her own website where she sells the most beautiful hats, scarfs, sweaters that she creates. Along with selling her products, she also makes hats for cancer survivors, wraps for new mothers or mothers who […]
This past year has been so crazy! And the TV news channels I think have only added to the confusion and division. Depending on whether you watch CNN or FOX News you usually get a different take on the same story. One evening I just flipped back and forth between the two and I could […]
I wrote a few years ago about a favorite show from my childhood – Gunsmoke. You can check out that post here: Anyone Remember Gunsmoke? My husband and I found a TV channel that has Gunsmoke reruns every day at noon. Several days a week we watch the show while eating lunch. By now most […]

You never know what treasures you will find when you get off the interstate and roam down country roads. When my husband and I first moved to Michigan three years ago we found a beautiful old church in the small town of Muir. Passing through the town on the main road you would never see […]

History books are full of the deeds of men – both good and bad. But what about the women? Surprisingly women have accomplished a great deal that has never really been given the attention it deserves. Yesterday I wrote about the women who helped break the codes of the Axis forces in World War II. […]
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 […]
