Reading a friend’s blog today got my mind thinking about how fast this year has gone by. How fast my life is going by. As I thought about the years already past (76) and wondered how many years lie ahead of me, I thought of the story in the Bible of Enoch. In the genealogy […]
Halloween decorations are off the shelf – and even before we celebrate Thanksgiving, the stores are filled with Christmas decorations and music. Many of my friends tell me they are busy with their Christmas shopping list. It is amazing to me how much money we spend at Christmas. According to the National Retail Federation, American […]
NOTE: I never want to be political on my blog. This post is not meant to do that. But our current political situation can often be the elephant in the room as family and friends gather. If you, like me, sometimes find yourself a little concerned about our future, I hope this will help you.) […]
One of the most beautiful worship songs I know. Close your eyes and invite Jesus’ presence to fill your heart. In the book of Genesis when the Lord spoke to Moses out of the burning bush instructing him to go to Egypt and lead the Israelites out of bondage, Moses asked his name. The reply […]
I’m sure many of you have heard the story behind this song “It Is Well.” But if you have not, here it is. It is an inspiring testimony of how God is present in the middle of our tragedies. That does not mean a Christian feels no pain, heartache, sorrow. Rather it proclaims that God […]

This Sunday I had to miss church. It is the second Sunday I have missed because I have been sick. Recovering now, but I so hate to miss church. Somehow the week is just not the same when I have not been able to meet with my church family and join in praise of God […]
Many who study the Bible never really look at the Old Testament and the truths of the Tabernacle found there. But much of the Bible is revealed in a study of the Tabernacle. More than 50 chapters are devoted to the details of the Tabernacle. In Exodus chapters 25-40 give guidance on the construction of […]
I read this story a few years ago. I do not know who wrote it. It is not original with me but at this time of Thanksgiving I think it is so appropriate. “One afternoon a shopper at the local mall felt the need for a coffee break. She bought herself a little bag of […]

Before WWII most of society frowned on women working outside the home. Most of the working women were from lower working classes doing menial jobs. With WWII there became a shortage of workers as so many men were in the armed forces plus there was an increased demand for wartime production. In 1943 Secretary of […]
The New Year is also the time I celebrate my retirement. My last day on the job was January 4, 2013. Each year as I reflect on the years since my retirement, I am always reminded of how God has given me much more than I asked for. Those of you who follow my blog know my […]
