Most of us grew up seeing the Ten Commandments posted on walls of our schools, courthouses and churches. Many have claimed these principles are the basis for our Judeo-Christian society. My husband and I started 2019 by reading through the Bible – starting with Genesis. The story was interesting at first as we read about […]
Limbo – “an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state or condition.” My husband and I recently made a decision to sell our house and move from northern Illinois to Michigan. Our real estate agent told us our house would sell better if we did not have a lot of “clutter” […]
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 […]
This time of Advent we not only remember the birth of our Savior but we also look forward with anticipation to His return. We sometimes long for that day when evil will finally be completely defeated and peace will truly reign. But what do we do while we wait? We often pray the Lord’s prayer […]
This time last year we hit the 1000 game mark in our ongoing Scrabble contest. It is doubtful that we will ever reach the 2000 game mark, but we still enjoy playing. We Did It! Now on to 2000 Games! This New Year’s Eve found my husband and I tied for number of games won for […]

I’m posting a blog from a mother who shares such a beautiful story of love and perseverance. And a reminder that we take so much for granted – including the ability to hear. Hope you will visit her blog and hear her story. Through Rose Colored Glasses and Bionic Ears: A Mom and Daughter’s Journey […]
It’s that time of year! All over the country mothers and grandmothers are busy in the kitchen baking cookies with their kids and grandkids. On Facebook I see post after post of beautifully decorated cookies and smiling faces of children with their mother as they happily put their special touch on the cookies made to […]
There is only one miracle of Jesus that all four gospel writers record: the feeding of the 5,000. Actually there were probably more than 5,000 fed that day because the writers say 5,000 men. Since we know that women and children also came to hear Jesus we can assume there were women and children present […]
It is now four days since Christmas. I have my Christmas decorations all boxed up and downstairs in the storage room. Today I am dusting, vacuuming and doing whole house cleaning. Getting rid of the cookie crumbs in the carpet, the shiny tinsel that dropped from the tree ornaments as we took them off the […]
Throughout my life I have read arguments for and against having faith in the Christian God – or any god for that matter. Some say to question our belief is wrong. To express any doubt will definitely displease God. Others say to believe without positive proof of a god is simply showing a lack of […]

AWE-FULL Great and holy God awe and reverence fear and trembling do not come easily to us for we are not Old Testament Jews or Moses or mystics or sensitive enough. Forgive us for slouching into Your presence with little expectation and less awe than we would eagerly give a visiting dignitary. We need neither […]
