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 […]
What a great feast we had at Thanksgiving! Turkey, dressing, scalloped potatoes, corn, sugared carrots, salad, homemade bread, and of course, pumpkin pie. After our Thanksgiving meal we had so much turkey left over, we cut it up and made soup with noodles and chicken broth. It was delicious and we used up our left over […]
It’s Friday and time for a post about another old gospel song. I have shared several now and hope you have enjoyed them. This week’s song is one of my husband’s favorites. He has often performed this song in church services and at “gospel sings.” The song starts with a question: Why should I feel […]
It started with Claudine. Claudine was a young high school student living in Cebu City, Philippines. Through Compassion’s program to help release children from poverty, I began sending a monthly contribution to help meet Claudine’s educational and physical needs. While in high school Claudine attended the Cornerstone Student Center. Through the Center – in cooperation […]
Yesterday I posted about heroes, pointing out the difference between our fantasy super heroes and the “real” heroes of history. Check that out at: Who is Your Super Hero? But today reminds me that we have so many heroes to thank for our freedom, not only for the USA but much of the world. Today […]
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 […]
Revelation is a book of the Bible that I have found confusing and difficult to understand. Throughout my life I have attended Bible studies, read books and listened to a host of people give their viewpoint on the meaning of the book. Several years ago, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins wrote a series of […]
In past blogs I have written about women who have been neglected in our history books. Women who played important roles in World War II, in the NASA program and in our political system. Sadly it seems writers of history books have told of the brave and intelligent men of our country, but seem to […]
Another excellent Bible study today using the book “Encounter the Spirit” by Carolyn Moore. Moore noted that there is a difference between someone who cooks and someone who IS a cook. Many of us cook because we are hungry and need to eat in order to live. We probably know little about the vocabulary of […]
So excited! As a lover of American history – both its good and its bad history – I have found that there is a wealth of history on the Underground Railroad in the state where I recently became a resident. I recently wrote a couple of blogs about statues of African-Americans in the USA. Crispus […]

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 […]
