My youngest son, Benjamin, decided a few months ago that I should have a Facebook (FB) account.  He set it up, put some pictures on the account, told the FB community what he thought they should know about me.  When I had "friends" (people with a FB account who want to network with you) that…Read more Facebook

I'm going to admit something.  When I was growing up I always thought it would be so cool to live where it snows.  I used to think about walking with snowshoes over  wooded trails and coming inside to something hot to eat and drink.  The Quaker Oats television advertisement  caught my idea of what it…Read more Snow

Wow! It was -17 when I woke up this morning. Unbelievable!! I stepped outside and a brand new sensation occurred to my still limited life experience. Bone chilling cold!!

It's almost unbelievable to me that this year is coming to an end. Life gets faster as you get older, my Dad use to tell me. I didn't believe it then but now I do. It is possible that life is moving fast due to the fact that life is just simply filled with the…Read more New Year’s Eve

I was reading Isaiah 40:1-11 this morning and a couple of thoughts come to mind as we prepare for Christmas. One we are looking for the coming of our Lord with the peace and joy he has given us in new birth. We can prepare by offering the good news to others this Christmas, through…Read more Advent – Prepare the Way of the Lord

We wanted to be at the airport early so we could welcome our soldier home when he came up the escalators at the Atlanta airport.
