There seem to be so many articles out there on the web and in sermons today on the importance of believing in God when we pray….the importance of our words. The Bible is clear that we need to believe in God when we express our petitions to Him. Even science tells us that what we […]
My blogging has taken a bad seat to pain and physical therapy. After two months I am back. I no longer wobble when I walk. Weebles Wobble but They Don’t Fall Down I am so thankful that after several years of pain that just grew worse each year, I am free of pain. Seven years ago, […]
So excited! As a lover of American history – both its good and its bad history – I have found that there is a wealth of history on the Underground Railroad in the state where I recently became a resident. I recently wrote a couple of blogs about statues of African-Americans in the USA. Crispus […]
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 […]
I recently wrote about one of my daughters who has grown up to be a minister and just happens to also be my pastor. What she does every day is great – studying God’s Word to share with her congregation, counseling, advising those struggling with problems, sharing in the lives of the people in both […]
When we spent several weeks in Charleston, South Carolina a few years ago trying to escape the cold winter weather, I was amazed at all the churches with their tall steeples. We took a tour of the city on a boat and from the harbor you could see the beautiful steeples reaching to the sky. […]
This time last year we hit the 1000 game mark in our ongoing Scrabble contest. It is doubtful that we will ever reach the 2000 game mark, but we still enjoy playing. We Did It! Now on to 2000 Games! This New Year’s Eve found my husband and I tied for number of games won for […]
Temperatures are dropping as the leaves on the trees also fall to earth. Clocks have been set back an hour and the evenings get dark so much earlier than before. In the stores some are already putting up Christmas decorations, even playing Christmas music. Many of my friends love this time and think it is […]
As school begins and I see the children getting off the bus next to my home, I always remember the day my first born went to kindergarten and gave me quite the scare when she did not get off the bus. It was scary then, but has given us many laughs since then. Grandma’s Ramblings […]
I’m posting a blog from a mother who shares such a beautiful story of love and perseverance. And a reminder that we take so much for granted – including the ability to hear. Hope you will visit her blog and hear her story. Through Rose Colored Glasses and Bionic Ears: A Mom and Daughter’s Journey […]
I wrote this in February – but feel it even more in the middle of this virus crisis. Grandma’s Ramblings The last few weeks I have missed a lot of Sunday morning services at my church due to some health issues. Since I hate to have a Sunday without hearing a good sermon I have […]
It’s almost Mother’s Day – and my memories of Mom keep coming back so strong. She was such a feisty lady. In her 60’s she drove a bright yellow car and slowed down only slightly for stop signs. She loved to show my daughters how to do the Charleston. (Does the younger generation today have […]
The last part of March is full of memories for me. It was March 29 I married my first sweetheart. Lonnie had just come home from a journey of duty as a Marine in Vietnam. We were married and quickly headed out to the USMC base in Quantico, Virginia. We were blessed with almost thirteen […]
Hard to believe that it has been less than 100 years since women were granted the right to vote. The 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920, granting women the full rights of citizenship.
