My daily Bible readings are taking me through 1 and 2 Kings. In the Old Testament when someone got old, the Bible says they were old and slept with their fathers, of course, meaning they died. I’m dealing with my mom these days as she just had a knee replacement. She’ll be 90 next month,… Continue reading Old Age

A few weeks ago, I was summoned to jury duty. I wasn’t able to write or talk about it, but now that it’s over, I am able to and can blog about it. It was the case of the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ shootings. The preacher there, Joey Spann, I have known for over… Continue reading Don’t judge me!

Do you like to be alone? Sometimes I do. Have you ever felt lonely? Probably we all have. We can feel lonely in a crowd of people. In our Sunday Bible class we studied the book of Mark.

This life, as we know it, is full of pain and disappointment. If it’s not in our own lives, it’s all around us. In our friends, family, our own selves. How do we overcome? How do we keep on going day after day? How do we get through it when the pain, physical or emotional,… Continue reading Not Today!
