I like this view of worship in church – taken from one of my husband’s sermons. Worship our way: Conductor: God Performers: Worship Leaders Audience: Congregation Worship God’s Way: Conductor: Worship Leaders Performers: Congregation Audience: God Worship – Our Way vs God’s Way — Thoughts of a Retired Pastor
Hampton Park in Charleston, South Carolina, is a beautiful place to walk or just sit and enjoy the many flowers, trees and the fountain. When we spent a few months in Charleston during the winter of 2016 we walked almost every day in the park. At 60 acres, there are plenty of walkways. Just six […]
I’m having waffles in the morning made by my husband. I know that because our little granddaughter is spending the night with us and she always wants Papa’s waffles for breakfast. When we go to bed she gives Papa her “cutie” smile and in her “cutie” voice she asks: Papa, will you fix waffles in […]
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 […]
Though he was God, He did not think equality with God as something to cling to: Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When He appeared, in human form, He humbled Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s […]
Remember the fairy tale where the wicked stepmother would ask: Last Sunday in church the speaker taught from the book of James where James wrote: Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone […]
Christians around the world take communion. Some take it every time they go to church (Catholics, Lutherans, Christian Church among others). Others take it monthly and some just at Easter or Christmas. Since Jesus said to observe communion as a remembrance of Him and what his death on the cross meant, I question why some […]
Growing up as a Christian I have met people who did not accept the Bible or have any belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. While I have never agreed with them, I can understand how someone might reject the Gospel. A Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist or simply an atheist might reject […]
Hampton Park, Charleston, South Carolina. What a beautiful place to visit. Shady walks with old, old oak trees covered with Spanish moss. Beautiful pond with ducks and a fountain. But also a place of history. I recently wrote about the first Memorial Day celebration in the park. Former Slaves and the First Memorial Day Celebration […]

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 […]

This was only one story we discovered about the black/white relationship in the 1800’s that has never been shared in our most of our history lessons while we were spending time in Charleston, South Carolina.. But it is one that we should know. Grandma’s Ramblings Hampton Park, Charleston, South Carolina. What a beautiful place to […]
