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 […]
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 […]

Long before electricity came to my grandmother’s house she had an icebox. This was a wooden box usually lined with straw or sawdust that sat in the kitchen or pantry. The ice man would come around with a 25 to 50 pound block of ice. My mother grew up with the ice box and even […]

All my married life my husband has teased me about my “southern twang.” There are many words that I clearly do not say correctly – that is – if your standard is the “General American” accent.

My husband and I are reading through the Bible this year in our devotions. Right now we are working our way through the book of Numbers.

Listening to music this morning, this song brought tears – tears of joy – to my eyes. It has been 66 years since I started this race with Jesus Christ. There have been mountain tops of great joy, great excitement (to mention only a few – marriage, birth of children and grandchildren) and valleys of […]
