There is a poem that has been printed and read for years at Christmas time. I have often read it but until this year I never really questioned who wrote it or why. Writing this month about my memories of past Christmas times I thought of this poem and decided to find out who wrote […]
I recently wrote about Moving On and Cleaning House where I shared that I was ending a life time of teaching and assigning my years of notes to the recycle bin. Before I could get the waste can out to the recycle bin in the garage, a young woman who teaches and preaches asked me to […]
The forests in Michigan in the latter half of the nineteenth century helped build the expansion in cities like Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee. Along with the abundant supply of trees in Michigan, the Great Lakes provided the means to transport the lumber to these cities. But lighthouses were necessary for ships to navigate safely in […]
The following is from a Good Friday sermon my husband shared this year. I thought it was so good I wanted to share with my readers: There are many great mountain top experiences in the Word of God. On Mount Horeb, God spoke to Moses from the burning bush On Mount Sinai, God wrote the […]
My young granddaughter loves to watch HGTV with us. She especially loves the show “Flip or Flop.” Recently we took her to see an old factory that was being torn down. Piles of brick and twisted steel were everywhere and there was still a large portion of the building standing with big gaps in the […]
Yesterday it was 37 years since my first husband was killed in an accident. He died when the car he was working on fell on top of him and crushed him. My two young daughters came home from school and found him there. Needless to say, it was quite a traumatic experience for them. All […]
Once again we hear about the war on Christmas. And once I again I share this post from 3 years ago. May Christ be a part of our lives all year long. Grandma’s Ramblings Facebook is full of posts about saying “Merry Christmas” vs “Happy Holidays.” We go through this scenario every year. Christians judge […]

When my girls were growing up I tried to share with them from the Word of God and prayed they would love the Word as much as I did. For years I was the teacher. But that has changed now. Phone rings. The caller ID says it is my daughter, Jessica. When I answer I […]

I have been planning with some of the women in my church for a game night. Just a time for us to get together and have fun with one another getting to know each other better. Not a time of Bible study Not a time to do a service project Not a time to fix […]
I recently watched a pastor of a mega church on television (which I don’t do on a regular basis) and was amazed at his message. He started off speaking of all the parts of our culture that Christians do not agree with. He spoke about the damage pornography does to our society. (I said Amen!) […]
Reading with my husband in the book of James, I thought how much our country needs to heed the words found there. James admonishes us to: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires Wow! Sadly it appears we are slow […]
