Little church in the country Growing up my earliest memories of church took place at Zion Methodist Church. This country church is just east of the town of Mt. Vernon, Illinois where I was born many, many years ago. My mother and father made a commitment to serve the Lord in this little church when […]
Love playing school with my granddaughter. Although we have to play by her rules. She tells me what character I will be – and she tells me what I am supposed to say. So really I don’t have to use my imagination – I just follow Zoe’s scrip. This week we had a music class. […]

I was just six years old. Too young many would say to know what I was really doing. But I knew. Growing up in a family that attended church every Sunday and where my parents practiced what they preached on Monday through Saturday also, I understood that Jesus loved everyone – even “sinners.” I wasn’t […]

That time has come! That time when I realize that I do not want to spend the last years of my life dusting all the “stuff” I have accumulated over the years. That time when I realize I do not want to spend the last years of my life cleaning floors in rooms I no […]
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 […]
Hard to believe it has been one year already. Exactly one year ago today my husband and I left our home in northern Illinois and traveled to the middle of Michigan to a new home. The metropolitan area we lived in known as the Quad Cities has a population of over 400,000. It includes five […]
It’s Fall! My favorite time of year. This year I am experiencing Fall in a new home in a new town in a new state. Talk about change! And I think I have moved to the perfect location to see all the beauty that God creates for us in the Fall. Let’s hear it for […]
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 […]
Today is a happy day for me! Today I am exploring the western side of Michigan along Lake Michigan. We have a hotel in the middle between Ludington and Traverse City Michigan. What a beautiful area! The lake, rivers, sand dunes, beaches, quaint shops and restaurants! My heart rejoices because we are celebrating 35 years […]
