Advent Project
This project could be adapted to other age levels. Adults could use it devotionally. Since Saturday is December 1, the need for this project to be completed is, well, upon me! Friday is a day when I usually don’t have any student tutoring and a good day for a project with the grandchildren. Here’s my …
Advent
Advent is on the church calendar and, in my opinion, should be recognized in the life of all Christian Believers. At least, the observance of Advent will focus on the Birth of Christ rather than a long list of things to do that have nothing to do with Christmas other than family traditions. Here is …
Holiday Eating Tips
Proverbs 17:22 tells us that “A merry heart doeth good, like a medicine” so here is a dose of medicine today. It also lets you all know that I do have something other than a serious side. I found this in 2008, copied it, and don’t recall that anyone gave credit for the creating of …

Famous for Faith and Freedom
Hebrews 11 contains the names of what many Bible scholars call, “God’s Hall of Fame.” They are certainly noteworthy persons who have graced our world’s history out of the gates until the completion of the Word of God with John’s Revelation. They were men of faith. This week, as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day, I always …
Psalm 100
This is the simple lesson I presented at the Hickory Creek Nursing Home this morning. I hope it will be a simple reminder to you too. Psalm 100 “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord” Joyful, not crabby. Joyful, not complaining. Noise, not silence. Action toward the Lord and not as to man. “all ye …
Stop the Beeping!
My daughter called me yesterday when she heard about the explosion in a nearby housing development. She wanted to make sure we were all okay. In a bit of chit chat I asked her about her day. “Oh Mom, you don’t really want to know.” she replied. In the course of womanly events, she had …
