Because of Grace we Press On
Yesterday I mentioned that we would visit with Joshua today. I sort of copped out on the end of the story of Gideon. You have to know how it all turned out, before I tell you the really cool story about Joshua. Gideon had gone from an arm of 32,000 men to 300. God told Gideon … Read more
Last year at this time, I was looking outside and wondering if spring would ever show up. The telltale signs of winter were etched in snow covered trees with accumulations of the now too familiar white stuff clinging to the driveway and blanketing every inch of grass. According to the calendar spring had arrived, but … Read more
I’m on vacation so I hope you liked your visit with Linus yesterday and enjoy some time with Lucy today. I learned a life lesson from a cartoon a few days ago.

As I contemplated the passing week, I realized, I’m still not a fan of that word. Doubt leaves some gaping holes in my armor. Misunderstandings that make me doubt my value … Read more
Just for fun since I’m traveling today. This was one of my first blogs and it was posted on March 5, 2013. I have not read through it so I will be as surprised as you when it publishes tomorrow I’m an information junkie, I admit it. As far back as I can remember, I … Read more
On Sunday our pastor talked about Narcissus. Remember him? He was that hunter guy from Greek mythology who was known for his ‘beauty’. He loved himself so much he couldn’t love anyone else. One day he was lured to a pool of water where he saw his own reflection and was so enamored by his … Read more
