I remember my mother as the most giving person in my life. She gave her life serving and giving to Dad and her four boys and even at the end of her life she would visit the ones who were shut-ins at her retirement village–BUT–when she was too old to visit, no one came to […]
{Matthew 18:3 ,Mark 10:15, I Corinthians 1;26-29, I Corinthians 14:20, I Peter 2:2} Jesus came as a baby and wants me, also, to come as a baby. If I come to God , all grown-up and “wise”, like the pharisees, I will never enter the kingdom. Not many wise, not many strong are chosen but […]
Recently I was in line at a grocery store when the lady in front of me went around the plastic shield with a mask just covering only her chin and got within 2 feet of the poor checkout lady to ask a question. I asked her to stop endangering the life of the nice checkout […]

I did this blog twice and it disappeared. I guess that is a good metaphor for how I feel these days. After 21 years my work decided that they no longer needed me. My natural response? Feel worthless, hurt, review all the things that I thought they should have been more grateful for, be a […]
Why is it that when the team is winning, they take the credit, but when they lose it is the coach’s fault? The worst possible thing that can happen to people is comfort and ease while they happily sin. Read the Bible, every time God comes through and brings victory and prosperity; the people respond […]
Who I am: I am a child of God who loves to go to the Bible and ask the question, “If these things be so, what manner of person ought I then to be? God has designed me with a “So then, what?” brain. Then, to help me find and share answers, I was saved […]
The Touch of the Master’s Hand ‘Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer Thought it scarcely worth his whileTo waste much time on the old violin, But held it up with a smile.“What am I bidden, good folks,” he cried, “Who’ll start the bidding for me?”“A dollar, a dollar. Then […]
