With the internet down for the past three days (ah, country living!) I’ve come to realize just how much I depend on the crazy thing! Is it going to rain, or will these clouds move out? Wow! It’s given me an appreciation for farmers who lived before any broadcasting system! So, should I hang the sheets … More Chance of Showers
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2Timothy 4:8 Well, I’m at it again—trying to take off those extra pounds that crept back on … More We need the Apocalypse (Book of Revelation)
Matthew 7:23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This might sound like an oxymoronic statement, but let me explain. Think about JFK. What do you picture? A man in his eighties or a man in his prime?

Trust–how can I trust the nurse, when my newest little granddaughter is obviously not happy with what she is doing? Yesterday, Callie Brooke made her way into the world, and we praise the Lord that Mommy and baby are doing great! She was only a few minutes old when we met. In fact, she had … More Trust–When She’s Turning Blue?
