November 4, 2002 – Call from doctor – biopsy shows I have cancer. November 14, 2002 – Surgeon tells me after surgery that the cancer was very advanced and I will definitely need chemo and radiation. November 27, 2002 – Doctor tells me the odds are not in my favor. He says chances are slim […]
One of the favorite places I ever visited on our road trips is St. Simons Island. If I won the lottery (which I don’t play) I would have a home there. It is not only beautiful with the old oak trees and Spanish moss, but full of history. One of the attractions there is the […]
On one of our trips south we visited the College of the Ozarks. This Christian, liberal arts college is located near Branson, Missouri. Presbyterian minister, Rev. James Forsythe, founded the school in 1906. Called The School of the Ozarks, it was first a high school and became a junior college in 1956. Nine years later […]

Recently I posted about my visit to the Wesley Garden on St. Simon’s Island. Looking at that visit, I was reminded of the list John Wesley created for the group of people who were gathering each week to pray and encourage one another in their walk with God. He had a list of questions they […]

With all the division and disagreements in our culture today, I thought it might be a good time to remind us of all those “one another’s” our Bible speaks about. Grandma’s Ramblings I have been planning with some of the women in my church for a game night. Just a time for us to get […]
Let us never forget that the greatest thing we can do for God or for man is to pray. Intercession is service…unlike all other forms of service and superior to them in this: it has fewer limitations. In all other service, we are constantly limited by space, bodily strength, equipment, material obstacles and difficulties involved […]

Reposting this article for recognition of Women’s History Month. Now I will have to get busy writing new ones as I am taking a look at the women in history we hear little about. Grandma’s Ramblings Last year I shared stories of women who played a big part in history – yet are often ignored […]
In today’s reading for Lent I read the creation story and Adam and Eve’s failure to obey God’s commands. Although I have read this story countless times I was struck today by the difference the story gives us of how God created man and woman in comparison to the rest of His creation. The stars, […]
Since we just saw England celebrate the 70 years of the reign by Queen Elizabeth II, I thought I would share her comments for my Friday list of laughter and wisdom (even though i am a day late.) Grief is the price we pay for love. None of us can slow the passage of time; […]
My 73rd birthday is just days away. This post of a few years ago reminds me again of God’s blessings to me and although my body is hollering “you are old” my spirit says “no – I’ve still a lot of living to do.” Grandma’s Ramblings This past weekend my husband and I visited a […]
As we hear a lot of debate now about whether or not we are/we should be a Christian nation, I would like to share the words of The Rev. Joseph Farnes, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Boise. I think he gives us much to consider. “But let’s ask a question: What would a […]
