Disclaimer: My thoughts on this post all came from a sermon I heard this past Sunday. Guess that this post might be considered plagiarism. Since the minister that spoke is my daughter, hopefully she will forgive me for stealing her thoughts. She spoke of our need for God’s grace not just at the moment we […]
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 […]
It’s Friday – time again for a post on the old church hymns. This week as I thought about what song to write one very old hymn came to mind. So I ask – What picture do you see when you think of God? From reading the Bible I have found some unusual pictures. A […]
Thanksgiving – a time with family. Over the years the family gathering has gotten smaller as kids grow up, move away, have kids of their own. But at this time of year I always remember some of the great interactions with my grandchildren. There was Robert: Growing up Robert loved to talk. I always tried […]

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 […]
