We had fun on Saturday along with some unexpectant company from North Carolina. We had plenty of food although the macaroni salad was a little dry. I wasn’t sure what to do so…I placed a little bit of milk in the macaroni salad and stirred it up and it was fine.
It made me realize that [...]

Our youngest grandchild has been staying with us every other weekend since he was 18 months old. He is now in the 4th grade. Up until 4 months ago, when we went shopping if he asked for something reasonabily he would be able to use his sock money (allowance-that’s another story) to get the item. [...]

“Because He Himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:18 “
As I read this verse my mind wondered, “How did Jesus suffer when He was tempted?” Does this pertain to the suffering when He was tempted 40 days in the wilderness? Could it be when [...]

Many years ago, our friend that we worked with, just had a baby and we all wanted to go to the nursery and visit. My daughter was 3.5 and was not allowed to visit. So my girlfriend volunteered her boyfriend, Bobby, to watch my daughter as all of us went upstairs. As usual, we stayed [...]

He was teaching her arithmetic, said it was his mission.
He kissed her once, he kissed her twice, and said,
“Now, that’s addition.”
And so he added smack on smack in silent satisfaction.
She sweetly gave him kisses back and he said,
“That’s subtraction.”
Then he kissed her as she kissed him, with naught
an explanation. Then both together smiled and said,
“Hurrah [...]

This morning, I had more birds at the bird feeder than ever before. I marveled at the female cardinals and wished I could see a male cardinal as their color is breathtaking. There must have been 12 to 15 birds chasing each other, each one trying to get to the bird seed. [...]

I was looking forward to the Parent/Teacher night as my daughter was doing well in the Christian School she attended. While I had to wait in line to speak to the teacher, I was shocked when she spoke to me about my daughter’s music ability. It seemed she was very determined to sing the songs [...]

The way our culture is today is so different in the 50’s and 60’s especially with mental health. My Dad beat us kids and our Mom so much, that we would go hide at friend’s houses. One particularly time we drove the car into a barn and Mom’s friends took extra care to hide the [...]

I was reading in Proverbs 4:20-27 (NIV) and adapted a prayer from these verses.
Our Heavenly Father,
Teach me to pay attention to what I say. Help me to listen closely to your words. I pray I would not let them out of my sight and I would keep them within my heart.
Your words, O Lord, [...]
