In my reading I love to collect those one or two sentence phrases that make me laugh or make me think. Here are a few I hope you enjoy. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society…Mark Twain Why does a woman work ten years to change a man’s habits […]
Growing up I often heard my mother say that as you age time flies faster. I always thought that was silly. Time is time. It does not move slower or faster. A minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes. Same for everyone. Now that my mother is gone and I am the old […]
This past Sunday I missed the service at my own church filling in at another local church for the organist that was out of town. The pastor’s sermon really spoke to me and reminded me of a song I heard years ago. Since that time I have seen one line from that song on church’s […]
Growing up in a Christian home, I learned to pray at a very young age. Prayer was an important part of my family’s life. Every meal we took turns thanking God for our food. As the “baby” in the family my first prayers over meal time were memorized prayers like God is great, God is […]

With that in mind, I have responded to her questions. Here are her four questions: […]
Most of us have heard of Ellis Island. Many of us who have traced our ancestry can lay claim to having descended from someone who came through Ellis Island on their journey to becoming an American citizen. Prior to 1892 immigration was controlled by individual states. On January 1, 1892 the Federal government opened an […]
After moving to Michigan in October we have tried to do some sightseeing. However, cold weather is limiting that right now. Last weekend we had a beautiful sunshiny day so we took off on another adventure. We had no definite destination – just heading east and seeing what the day brought. Our first stop was […]
March 22 was a day I will never forget! My husband had fallen a few days before that, got a lump on his head. The lump went down after a couple of hours and he felt okay. Because of the coronavirus and all the conflicting reports we heard, he decided it did not require him […]
