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 […]
I’m re-blogging this post from 2014 because as I celebrate Valentine’s Day with my husband, I’m reminded of his love shown to me almost 16 years ago. And now as my body begins to show the signs of aging – sagging skin, wrinkles, etc. I’m glad he still makes me feel beautiful! Grandma’s Ramblings Every […]
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 […]
Just a few miles from my home is a sign that says “P.O.W. Camp Owosso.” The sign is outside of a oval track for car and motorcycle racing. Being new to this area, this sign caught my interest and I decided to do some research on the camp. Here is what I found. During World […]

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 the book of Genesis we are told of the story of Hagar, the maid of Sarah, Abraham’s wife. When Sarah was not able to conceive, she gave her maid to Abraham in hopes that she would be able to bear a son who would then be considered Abraham and Sarah’s legal offspring. This was […]
I do the weekly church bulletin and monthly newsletter for my church. It is a job that I take seriously. Each week I try to promote the various programs of my church, enlist volunteers as needed and share words that I hope will encourage and challenge our church family. My husband helps greet and pass […]
With recent health issues, I have been spending way too much time at home. Experiencing a lot of severe pain, I am faced with two choices. Take pain medications and then feel too sleepy or zombie-like to do anything. Don’t take pain medications and hurt too bad to do anything. I have missed church, given […]
Growing up in church we always sang hymns from a large hymn book that was placed in holders on the back of the church pew. Many times there would also be a Bible there. The “song leader” would announce the page number before each song and we would all turn to that page and sing […]
Those of you who follow my blog know by now that my husband and I are Scrabble addictions. Confessions of a Scrabble Addict! We have kept a record of our scores since 2008. Equally matched in skill, we usually remain only one or two games ahead of the other one. Recently, however I seemed to be […]
