My sister has been working on the house. She has laid the new flooring in the dining room, and painted the front door. There is one wall in the entry way painted and yesterday I painted the door on the coat closet. Next we will paint the rest of the entry and then she wants… Continue reading PAINTING
I like science fiction movies and books. They are great fun. Fantasy adventure for adults. But...they aren't real and when reading or watching something from the sci-fi genre, it is good to remember that. So many of these movies/ TV shows/ books try to present theories that exclude God and His creation of the universe.… Continue reading FICTION VERSUS FAITH
Yesterday I stubbed my toe. I stubbed my toe and my big toenail was ripped away! Yes...ouch! But nearly two months ago, when I was in London, all the walking I did with my big toenail being pounded by the toe of my shoe, my toenail was injured. It was bruised and damaged and turned… Continue reading OUTRAGEOUS MISFORTUNE
When I was working I would go to work and step right into whatever needed doing. I knew my job, I knew the process and I routinely accomplished each task. When I was a mother with young children I got up each morning and set about my day, following a routine. Of course, not every… Continue reading A ROUTINE LIFE
Mid August and life continues in a flow that ebbs at times into a calm, shallow pool and then swells into a tiring period of activity. Ups and downs, in and out, back and forth; slowly then building into a high point and back down again. I have spent most of the past five weeks… Continue reading LIFE CONTINUES

I love small town America. I love the sense of community you find there. Today we went to our small town's car… Continue reading SMALL TOWN AMERICA

This is first male child to be born with our family name in more than 30 years. And his parents, my nephew and his wife, have given… Continue reading NEW GENERATIONS
I have been going through boxes and boxes of old photos; searching out all those special moments from our family's history. I am building photo albums for my children, and I want those albums to include family history and a pictorial record of our genealogy. It's very time consuming, but I have found photos I… Continue reading PHOTO HISTORY
August is nearly half over and 2019 is more than half over. Time seems to be speeding up. It's been more than four weeks since our return from our cruise. School is open, summer vacation is over. Things are changing. I can feel the changes but I can't define them yet. Political, moral and spiritual… Continue reading TIME IS PASSING QUICKLY
I think patience is one of the hardest things for we humans. Especially in these days of instant everything. Waiting is hard. In our new world if we have to wait for anything for very long we whip out our trusty cell phones and sit glued to its tiny screen, mesmerized by whatever we are… Continue reading PATIENCE AND THE FULFILLMENT OF PROMISES
