Joseph, a Baby, and Disappointment
Of the many ways we can be disappointed in life, in my opinion, infidelity would be a top ranking, if not the top of the list. When a person that is trusted shows up with the failure of faithfulness and purity—that is a big blow. Joseph, the Carpenter faced that ultimate disappointment. Joseph and Mary …
Sniff, Sniff–Goodby May
May is my favorite month of the year. The weather is usually not to hot and not too cold in May. It is a “free” month when it comes to heating and cooling. That isn’t the only thing about May I like, however. My yard has something blooming the entire month of May. Although the …
An April Doodle
April is a favorite months for me. Spring is my favorite season, and baseball is my favorite sport. It is a wonderful mix! It seems that I have acquired a well-rounded enjoyment of music, but nothing quite matches the crack of bat and the roar of a baseball stadium. When the pandemic was at its …
At Calvary
A song for the day, today, Good Friday. Do you recall, as I do, that time was when schools and businesses closed at noon on Good Friday. Everything seemed to stop to remember that day when Jesus went to the cross, willingly, to pay the penalty in our place for our sin. Read the words, …

It is 441 pages of non-stop action with a setting that is a hot spot. It is another “Marcus Ryker” series,but can be read as a stand …
A February Doodle
Blink once, it is Ground Hog’s Day, blink twice, it is February 28. It occurred to me today that perhaps Ground Hog’s Day was dreamed up by some weather purveyor because typically, February is usually a cloudy month. In hopes that the groundhog would come out, yawn and stretch a bit before venturing back for …
A Milk Review
Well, let me stand corrected. Early this week, with a brewing winter storm coming at us, like most of other Franklin residents, I decided I needed milk to get me through. The shelves were empty except for chocolate and“designer” milks. I mistakenly called almond milk “fake milk” and picked up a half gallon. I had …
A January Doodle
We have a new year. I like simple, yet, I like new too. Fresh starts are always to be looked upon as mercy drops. I like to start a new calendar and mark it up with birthdays and note what day my birthday will fall on in the coming year and note holidays and how …
