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 […]
In honor of those who have faithfully served our country. My father who served with the Navy in the Pacific during WW II. My mother was left at home to care for three small children. (I was not born until after the war.) My first husband who was with the USMC in Vietnam. Wounded while […]

What a week this has been! Sunday evening my husband was rushed into emergency surgery for a subdural hematoma. Because of the coronavirus I could not go to the hospital with him. At 3:30 that afternoon the surgeon’s assistant called me and told me they were doing emergency surgery and without the surgery my husband […]
In one of the Aposle Paul’s writings he said: We are Christ’s ambassadors. God is using us to speak to you: we beg you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, receive the love he offers you—be reconciled to God. As I look at our chaotic world today with all the divisions as […]
35 years – but the memory of that time is still clear in my mind. I had moved back to Illinois from Missouri to be near family. My husband of 13 years had been killed in an accident and with him my dreams of a home in the country was gone. With two little girls […]

Spring break this year found my both my daughter and her husband out of town on their jobs leaving my husband and I to take care of – and entertain – our eight-year-old granddaughter. What to do? We played school with the animals. My husband bought these animals at the local zoo one year when […]
Although I wrote this 8 years ago, it is still true today. Grandma’s Ramblings When I was a young girl just learning to read, my primary storybook was the Hurlbut’s Story of the Bible for Young and Old. Originally published in 1904 it was the complete Bible story including the Old Testament and the New Testament. […]
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. […]
