We have approx. 15-20 in our class and I [...]

Years ago when I travelled back and forth to work, I would ask God to show me something I had not seen before. I marvelled at what I saw. One time I saw a big buck sitting just a couple of car lengths in the open area. Beautiful animal.
In the last 2 weeks I [...]

I am doing a Bible Study and one of the lessons involve love. We need “nurturing love.” You have a space to list those who love you and what they do for you to show their love. Out of names I listed, only three were friends, all the others were family. Of course my husband shows [...]

For many Americans, Monday will be a paid Holiday. Many will be excited about getting the day off. I wonder if we ever pause to think why it is a Holiday. It is part of our history that we should be proud of. I don’t understand why some hold on to their discrimination against one [...]

I went to my First Place weight loss program this past Sunday. Everyone was so nice and it appeared that only one other person was what I consider to be overweight-a lot. That is to say, one woman looked to be a size 6 or 7, several size 12, and majority a size [...]

My sister opened her home to our nephew in October. Things have not been going well, so she wrote him a letter on Wednesday giving him until Saturday to get out. Needless to say, this has upset my other sister and my nephew. Every one is stressed out. My nephew doesn’t [...]

My daughter and I were talking about families who had such strong differences that they no longer speak to each other. She thought it was unusual behavior. However, it happens in a lot of homes and stays that way until one of them dies. I have learned that it is challenging to try to help [...]
