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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Acts 20;24 But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. Gospel – Good News G – God’s O […] […]
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 […]

A few years ago my husband and I bought our little granddaughter some toy zoo animals. We assumed she would play with them for a couple of years and then we would pass them on to another small child. We also assumed she would just play with them by herself. Were we ever wrong! From […]
When I was 54 years old I was diagnosed with a very aggressive and advanced stage of breast cancer. My doctor said I had only a small chance of still being alive in ten years. Ten years – that would put me into retirement age. At that time I planned to retire at age 62. […]

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 […]
As my husband and I age, we find we are no longer able to be as active as we once were. For years my husband was a pastor and I worked alongside him teaching Bible classes, playing for worship and all the many tasks that come with serving a community of Christians. This year I […]
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 […]
