Know and Hear

Do you not know?    Have you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God,    the Creator of the ends of the earth.He will not grow tired or weary,    and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary    and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary,    and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord    will renew their strength.They will soar… Continue reading Know and Hear

Garbage

We’ve all heard the saying ‘garbage in, garbage out.’ How far do you take it though? I have to say I feel worse when I’m eating unhealthy, watching the wrong shows, reading inappropriate books, or even when I see negative things on social media. But how much is too much? Eating healthy for me and… Continue reading Garbage

The Rawlings

When I was a kid, I loved to go to Joelton, TN and visit my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. They owned a farm where we would fish, play with frogs, run in the garden, and drink the sweetest tea you’ve ever tasted. There was one place we’d go with them that was best of all.… Continue reading The Rawlings

The Mind

I read a book once called Still Alice about a woman with early onset Alzheimers. A movie was made taken from this book, so it is a good read especially if you know someone who has or had dementia. The book tells the daily life of a college professor, and it leads you to believe… Continue reading The Mind

The Bubbler

Have you ever been really, really thirsty? Has your head begun to ache and you realized you’re probably dehydrated? Thankfully, it isn’t difficult for us Americans to get water. Most businesses have water fountains from which we can drink, or we can go to a restaurant’s drive-through and get a glass of water. There’s another… Continue reading The Bubbler

The Little Things

I cannot imagine being blind. The only way to get a glimpse of how it would be is to close our eyes, but even then light gets through. We take for granted the little things like our sight. We are so used to having them, we forget to thank God for them. Fanny Crosby was… Continue reading The Little Things

Remember

As we begin a new year today, take the time to remember. Remember the good times and the bad. Remember those who have gone from this life. Remember others may be hurting but not revealing it. Remember yourself. Love yourself; because you cannot love others the way you should until you do. Do all the… Continue reading Remember

The Appointments

We all have an appointment, actually two, waiting for us whether we know it or not. Yesterday, Christmas Day, we went to visit our Granny, Gerry Burton. It was not only Christmas Day but also her birthday. She turned 102 years old! She no longer gets out of the bed. Diapers are one of her… Continue reading The Appointments

This Christmas

As a few of you know, we are in the process of building a house and moving to Columbia, TN. Needless to say, this Christmas has been a somewhat different one. We had no tree to put up, so I bought a very tiny one maybe a foot tall, put some lights on it and… Continue reading This Christmas

Only One!

I don’t think I could do it. Give it all up. The home with my Father. The Holiness. But He did. And this is the time the whole world seems to celebrate it! As I mentioned in last night’s blog, it is also the time for Christmas songs. This song has to be my absolute… Continue reading Only One!
