Grandma Has an Addiction
Those of us closest to grandma know she is addicted. We have grown up in the shadow of this stronghold in her life. All of her children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren are aware of the 7:00pm hour and what it does to her. We have only made the mistake once, if ever, of calling at that time. Her obsession….’The Wheel of Fortune.’This … [Read more...]

Our Thanksgiving Tradition
"Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving..." Psalm 100:4Six years ago I was reading a magazine and saw what I thought was a wonderful Thanksgiving idea.

Veteran’s Day
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” Psalm 33:12As a teenager in the 1980’s, waking up first to get in the shower was very important.
