Gen. 22:1 "Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!". And he said, "Here I am." God called Abraham His friend. (II Chron. 20:7; Isa. 41:8). He walked with Abraham, visited him and shared what He was going to do in Sodom and Gomorroh...even haggled with Abraham… Continue reading CAN ONE MAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Judgement is not a word that is particularly well liked. It implies we are guilty of something; or that we deserve to be punished. I never think much about judgement. I doubt that very many of us do. It's something we know is coming, but we feel relaxed about it's arrival. I think I've always… Continue reading GOD’S JUDGEMENT AND MAN’S FAILURES
There is a post (meme) going around Facebook right now of a little girl singing to her horse. She is sitting on top of a rail fence and the horse has his head in her lap. The little girl can't be any more than three or four and she is singing about making the world… Continue reading GOD’S LOVE
Gen. 2:18 "Then the Lord God said, "it is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him: And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what… Continue reading FINDING JOY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
I started this blog nearly two years ago (Dec. 2018) to write about my life, tell my family stories, share my garden and my trips (cruises and road trips); but this year has brought many changes into our lives, our way of life, our sense of freedom, peace and safety, and that has moved over… Continue reading A YEAR OF CHAOS
So...here we go again....fires everywhere, and ash falling all over town. My car, my trees, my roses, everything in my yard and my house are covered with falling ash from all the fires. One of the fires is quite close to my small town....the closest fire we have seen in many long years. This fire… Continue reading ASHES, ASHES, ALL FALL DOWN!
This has been a year right out of the "Twilight Zone"! Somehow I have fallen in between the seconds of my life and I am just drifting, waiting, and looking for some place to land! My muse has taken an extended vacation and I'm left brainless and clueless! I find myself looking toward the moment… Continue reading ARE WE THERE YET?
Back in the days when I was a little girl in school, life was pretty good. I went to school five days a week, nine months out of the year. My grades were good and things were, in general, simple. Math was never my best subject, but I did okay with basic arithmetic. Addition, subtraction,… Continue reading MATHEMATICS IN THE LIFE OF AMERICA
The world has gone crazy. And this year has been wild. Last year at this time my sister and I had just returned from a visit to London, England, and a cruise around the British Isles. When we left to go on our vacation she had one small dog and I had one indoor cat… Continue reading AM I BLUE…..AIN’T THESE TEARS IN THESE EYES TELLING YOU…..
LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE WORLD BEYOND. As a retired person in these days of "social distancing" and "self isolation", the silence has predominated in my life. My sister and I are fairly quiet in our daily lives with most of the noise we hear coming from two nearly grown pups that bark at… Continue reading THE SOUND OF SILENCE
