See you next year Santa! | Grandma's Ramblings

And just like that – Santa is gone for another year. But Jesus remains all year long. His gifts are year-round. Santa comes but once a year; Jesus is an ever-present help; Santa fills your stocking with goodies; Jesus supplies all your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited; Jesus stands at your door and […]

Did Mary Know – Do You Know? | Grandma's Ramblings

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 […]

Whatever Happened to the Ebola Crisis? | Grandma's Ramblings

For days all we heard on the cable news was concern about the Ebola crisis.  Then – suddenly nothing! Why no news? We Americans have such short attention spans and the news media seems to be able to only concentrate on one news item at a time.  Whenever something shocking or dramatic happens, it is […]

A Time for Self-Assessment | Grandma's Ramblings

Dr. Tanya, at Salted Caramel, asked four questions about blogging.  She calls the questions “retrospective introspection.”  Reading your own work, she says, is sometimes called a form of narcissism but she thinks a better description might be self-evaluation or self-assessment. With that in mind, I have responded to her questions. Here are her four questions: […]

From a Fiery Redhead to a Silver Fox | Grandma's Ramblings

Growing up I loved being a red-head.  Not really confident in my looks, I felt my red hair made me special.  There are not that many red-heads around.  One of my sisters was a brunette and the other a dark blonde.  When we met people I would be the one they would notice first because […]

Does God Really Demand Obedience? | Grandma's Ramblings

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 […]

From Flip Phone to Smart Phone | Grandma's Ramblings

This week my husband and I traded in our flip phones for a smart phone.  I have resisted doing this for some time.  It’s not that I am not computer savvy – but I must confess as I age and as the technology keeps making leaps and bounds, I fear that I will never keep […]
