Ouch!
A little lesson I learned this moring while playing with my granddaughter. Kamryn’s mommy makes hairbows and Kamryn has cute hair do’s most of the time. This morning, however, Kamryn and I played together and my daughter did errands while the two older boys had music lessons. Kamryn’s hair was tangled so I gently suggested …
Working Together Separately
Who is Kohath? What about Merari and Gershom? Those names are rather peculiar and if you suppose them to be Bible names, you would be correct. Although I have read the Bible through many times, every reading seems to glean something I’ve never before noticed.That is why it is important to just keep reading it. …
History Lessons
Many people through the years continue to misquote Jorge Santayna. He said in his book, Reason in Common Sense, “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” Before the written word, history throughout the ages had been passed down as oral history. Job, the earliest book of the Bible, is largely used …
Riding the Bus
John 4:35-36 “Jesus said unto them, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.35 Say not ye, ‘There are yet four months and then cometh the harvest’? Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already …
The Weather Forecaster
Of all the occupations there are from which to choose, I don’t think I would like to forecast weather. The forecaster on a television channel actually is the one who brings in the viewers. The channel I view in the morning has the weatherman I like best. He is frequently accurate. Out on the farm …
Who is the Blessing?
“Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.” Psalm119:11 Hickory Creek Home is a 24-hour care facility. Almost all of the residents are elderly and need more care than family can furnish. Although I believe that family should take care of family as much as possible, there does …
What kind of noise. . .
Saturday my car decided to try a new noise. Since the noise was new to me, I took it to the shop this morning. Of course, the first question that the mechanic’s ask is, “What kind of noise is it making?” Since I like drama and the stage, I am never intimidated by this question. …

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results. – James 5:26 (NLT) There is a tension when it comes to public prayer in the United States. Such prayers, especially those in conjunction with government sponsored events, have become watered down with oblique references…
My Prayer List for America
Last fall I posted a few times on the Forty Days of Prayer. You can go back and read those posts; they will be in October or November archives. Since that time I have also been better about praying for America’s needs. Based on notes that I took during the October 30, 2012 prayer summit …
Hank and Jack
Jack is my grandson’s hamster. Hank is my hamster. Just as I am a person, and you are a person, we are both very individual. Jack and Hank are also very individual. They remind me of two scriptural truths. Psalm 139:11-14 tells me that God knew me in my mother’s womb and that I am …
