Recently I began following another blogger whose posts I have enjoyed. Her post that caught my eye was listing five things she liked about herself. Check it out here: http://cyranny.com/2020/01/15/5-more-things-i-like-about-myself/ The whole point is that we are quick to find things about our self we do not like, things we want to change, things that […]
My little seven-year-old granddaughter spent the night with me. She has a stuffed character from Dr. Seuss that always joins us for games. When she was very little we bought this character for her. I named him Willie, gave him a voice and she began interacting with him. As time has passed Willie has become […]
Recently our youngest granddaughter had a sleepover with us. We took her to a children’s museum. On the way home we started playing a game we had played with our children when they were little to pass the time on a road trip. My husband started by saying “I’m going on a picnic and I’m […]
What a beautiful picture we have of that first Christmas! Mary and Joseph, dressed in plain, but neat, clothes. The baby is wrapped in a clean blanket and the shepherds and Wise Men all stand or sit on the clean straw. And one of our most beloved Christmas carols make it all sound so peaceful and […]

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 […]
I must confess that I am constantly looking for new words to use in a game. When I read a book I am on the outlook for new words. As I glance through a magazine, my eyes just seem to latch on to new words in the articles or the advertisements. During the commercials when […]
In 2015 the church in England had an advertisement which featured the Lord’s Prayer set to run before a Star Wars movie. The cinemas banned the ad because they said it might be offensive to some. In response Bishop Steven Croft wrote an article saying “from the perspective of the spirits of the age, there […]

Every six months I get a routine checkup from my doctor. She checks my A1C, my cholesterol, vitamin D levels, my blood pressure. She listens to my heart and takes a look at my ears and my throat. We discuss any problems I might have. I keep these appointments faithfully not because I am sick […]
Laughing at how much I look like my Dad with my bald head! This month I celebrate 12 years cancer free! As I review the journal that I kept describing my first feelings as I heard that awful word “Cancer,” I am so thankful to God that I am still here – a cancer survivor! Day 1 – […]
Well I did it! I won the last Scrabble game of 2019 – making me the champion! My last post told the tale of my husband’s effort to catch me. My husband did his best – but couldn’t catch me. He tells me he is now depressed. (A joke only – he’s fine.) But guess […]
It’s that time of year again! We see it on Facebook – hear it on the news – the controversy about how people greet one another during this time of year. Considering all the problems in our world right now – the Ebola crisis in West Africa, the threat to the West from ISIS and […]
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 […]
