It was three years ago today that my husband’s life was on the line. How thankful I am for these three years God has given us – and I look forward to more. Today I say “Thank you Jesus!” Grandma’s Ramblings About this time two years ago my husband fell in his art studio in […]
On a recent trip to Ludington, Michigan I saw some interesting signs along the way. from a restaurant: “Our fish come from the best schools.” from an ice cream parlor: “This is a happy place…if you are crabby, go home.” from the trail to the Big Sable Lighthouse at the life saving station: “Be prepared […]
History books are full of the deeds of men – both good and bad. But what about the women? Surprisingly women have accomplished a great deal that has never really been given the attention it deserves. Yesterday I wrote about the women who helped break the codes of the Axis forces in World War II. […]
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 […]
Reading the story of creation recently I was struck once again by the one thing that God said was not good. Each day He created something and then said it was good. Until the sixth day when he created man. He stood back, looked at the highlight of all His creation and noted that there […]
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. […]

When I wrote this post little Zoe was not quite four. Now she is eight years old. Like my other grandchildren, she is growing up too fast. Thankfully she still loves to play “pretend.” I treasure each moment before the day comes when Puff will go into his cave for the last time. Grandma’s Ramblings […]
Me holding the walking stick my grandson made me to help me with my arthritic knees. It stands by my front door as a daily remind of his grandson’s love for me. Today is the birthday of one of my grandsons, Matthew. Remembering when he was born, I always stop and thank God that he […]
December was not a good month for me. It started off with a terrible head cold. My poor nose suffered from constant blowing. When the cold was over, I had three to four days that were good – and then I got Covid. Of course, being a good wife, I shared it with my husband. […]
A dear friend died this week. My husband and I had watched him battle cancer (two different kinds) for over two years. It was hard to see him slowly lose the battle. He fought hard and he never lost his courage or his great sense of humor. His family asked my husband to do the […]
I recently shared some information about a very important organization, VOM. (The Voice of the Martyrs) I would like to share more information about how you can pray for those who are being persecuted around the world for their faith. Pray that persecuted believers will sense god’s presence. Pray that they will feel connected to […]
We love the idea of being blessed. We greet one another with: But what does all that mean?
