If you stop and think about it, we have to do a lot of trusting. When we eat out at a restaurant, we trust the food is prepared properly. When we buy food at the grocery store, we trust it is not contaminated. When we get in our automobiles, we trust they will start and… Continue reading Trust

I have a friend who really, really dislikes squirrels. He has trapped and killed a lot of them in his yard. I admit I don’t like them either because of the damage they can do in the attic, yard, and to any bird feeder. As I mentioned in my previous blog, I am on a… Continue reading The Gray Streak

I am blessed to be on a trip right now with three friends. We are in a cabin in the mountains of North Carolina. I have been to these mountains before but not to this specific lodging. It is a beautiful place! The temperatures are lower than home by 15-20 degrees and the majesty of… Continue reading It’s Open!

Have you ever been accused of something? It is not a good feeling. But don’t some people love to call you out on things as if they never do anything wrong? Maybe you are innocent.

Have you ever been at a job, looked around, and realized they were beginning to hire much younger people and getting rid of the somewhat older ones? I know I said in a previous blog that I had made the decision not to grow old. Of course, I know that is impossible unless God decides… Continue reading Out with the Old…

Would you want to go back in time to a certain moment and relive your life over again? I think about this sometimes. I don’t think I would unless I could carry what little wisdom I have gained back with me. This world seems to be getting more evil each day. The Bible says there’s… Continue reading It is Enough.

When I taught at my former school, we were blessed to able to have chapel twice a week. One of the songs we occasionally sang was called His Banner Over us is Love.
