I am sitting in my office with the space heater aimed at my legs, looking out the window at a fresh layer of snow-ice on the sidewalk. It is a lovely winter scene, God has sent a reminder that He wipes slates clean at any time and any place. Yesterday my dad would have turned [...]
It seems we have had a lot of good-bye’s lately. My husband was the child of an old man. Bob’s father was 56 when Bob was born. Bob had a brother 9 years older and Brother George was the one who taught Bob most of the things a father would teach. Bob and George were [...]
As we drove up the road facing the mountains in Colorado, I had the same lonely feeling I experience 40 some years ago when my parents dropped me off at a little school just below the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It’s an odd feeling, one I can’t really explain, just a sense of aloneness, [...]
Well, you know what I mean, you know aha–something just came to me and I think I am right on. Now listen to this. You know how we have been talking about our belief window? Here is what I think about mine. First let me say, my parents made me feel loved beyond love. I [...]
Have you ever noticed how odd people are? Now, not me you understand. I am not odd, not odd at all. Or am I? No I don’t think so. I mean is it odd that I really hate to talk on the phone? I love reading the Old Testament. I like collard greens. I am [...]

What to say. Married 43 years and not much to say about it. Well, that’s not exactly true, there is plenty to say. I can tell you 43 years has gone by quick and yet slow. Have you ever heard that days go slow but the years go fast? This was really true when the [...]
Do you know the Bible tells us that’s it’s important to give? I think we should give because it is our role. As women God certainly created us to be givers. We give a smile, a hug, a compliment, encouragement. I mean that’s us, we are natural givers. The New Testament tells us to give [...]
I am stunned, how could I have forgotten the story of Samson? He was certainly an impulsive fellow and yet he led Israel for 20 years. Have you read the story lately. I mean God told his parents exactly how to raise him, and from all accounts they did as God directed. Samson’s parents didn’t [...]
Yesterday was a very special day, Father’s Day! I thought of my Dad and the fact that he was my buddy. When my mom didn’t see things my way I would always go to daddy. I think just the word daddy melted his heart and he would usually see things my way. Not always but [...]
