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: […]
“We as a community of friends are gathered here in God’s presence to witness Paul and Barbara’s renewal of commitment to one another and to ask God’s continued blessings on them. Marriage, like our creation as men and women owes its existence to God. It is His will and purpose that a husband and wife […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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” […]
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 […]
In the Old Testament we are told of a prophet, Elijah, who told the wicked king Ahab that God was going to send a drought on the land because of the sinful leadership of Ahab and his wife, Jezebel. For three years Elijah said there would be no rain. Elijah then made camp at the […]
I hesitate wading into this controversial subject but I see so many posts on Facebook calling for us to put prayer back in the schools and arguing that many of our problems are because prayer has been removed from the classroom. Wondering which side is right, I decided to go where I always go when […]
When I wrote this 4 years ago this “piped piper” was continuing to reach out to others – not only children but mentoring young adult women and sharing God’s Word. It has been a joy to see her become an ordained minister and now she begins a new adventure as a pastor. Wonder how much […]

Summer 2017 Last year my husband built our youngest granddaughter a tree house. He called it “Odd Squad Headquarters” as she was a fan of the show at that time. She was so excited and she spent the first day going up and down the stairs so much it made me tired just watching. We […]
