We decided to celebrate the end of summer and beginning of fall by taking our granddaughter to Potter’s Zoo. The Zoo is part of Potter Park in Lansing, Michigan. It is the oldest public zoo in Michigan. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1986, the Zoo has also received the AZA […]
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 […]
What do you see when you look in the mirror? Many times when I look in the mirror, I do not like what I see. My neck is showing my age. My nose is too big. My pores get larger every year it seems. My hair is very thin (so I put on a wig […]
In my small group at church this week we talked a little about how we pray. One of the members of our group mentioned reading Paul’s prayers for the church. Knowing what to pray for my family has always been a topic of concern for me. I confess most of my prayers are for their […]
I hate waiting in line at the grocery store. I hate waiting in the doctor’s office. I hate waiting on my husband who is always talking to someone wherever we go. Did you notice? I don’t like waiting.

I’m not really one to make new year’s resolutions but this year I have said I want to write more consistently and also to add to the blogs I now follow. So, how am I doing? Well- it’s is now the 4th of the month and I am just now starting to write again. Funny […]
There is a popular Christmas song that many love and it gets a lot of air time at the holiday season. I love it too, especially the line that says “When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God.” But I have to ask myself as I listen to this song, do […]
Reading my Bible this week I came across the story of the great Old Testament prophet, Elijah. I read of his great faith and courage as he confronted the 300 prophets of the idol Baal and challenged them to prove whose God was truly God. They built an altar, placed wood on it and an […]

This Sunday I had to miss church. It is the second Sunday I have missed because I have been sick. Recovering now, but I so hate to miss church. Somehow the week is just not the same when I have not been able to meet with my church family and join in praise of God […]
