Or Row Your Boat

Corrie ten Boom

"When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off.  You sit still and trust the engineer."

We are going through difficult and epic times...  A time that we never thought that we would ever go through this year.  I know that when I was thinking of this coming year in January this year blindsided me.  Stay focused!  Remember that all lives matter!

Laura Ingalls Wilder

"It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest and living close to nature."

If there was anytime in history to embrace the simple life, the time might be now.  After all some of you are not working anyway.  And you are getting to spend an inordinate amount of time with your family.  Although you might be getting on each other's nerves.  Just a tad!

Get Lost

Who should get lost?  The guys should get lost...  Why?  Because gals want guys but not for the wrong reasons...  At least we don't want to,..  We would rather have them for the right reasons but there are so many pitfalls in the dating environment.  This was an interesting read and if you're a teenage girl then go read this book!

Be the Hands and Feet

Are you scared?  Are you depressed?  Are you anxious?  Maybe you need to think outside yourself and help someone else who is most likely is a worst place then you are...  Are you breathing?  Are you eating?  Are you working?  Then you are one of the fortunate ones...  How would you like to be six feet under?  Many are...

Tax Day

2020

Guess what? Today our taxes are due...  Our entire country had an extension but some of us still need more time...  What else is new?  Some of us are born procrastinators to the nth power!  Enjoy this day and every day following...  You never know how much time each of us has...

America's Expiration Date

What is happening to our country?  Do you even recognize it anymore?  I think many that have grown up in the 60's and 70's may be in culture shock.  Everything seems as if it is accelerating at a fast rate towards what exactly?

2 Corinthians

7:14

^"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Are we heading for the inevitable?  At a very fast rate?  I think many would say that everything that has happened thus far in 2020 has been like a blindside...  I know that in January I would never have predicted any of this that is happening in out world today...

"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

Have you ever been to Wimbledon watching a tennis game?  I have not but if you watch people watching tennis then you know there is a lot of head turning as the ball goes back and forth on the court.  We are living in a time where the news is befuddling...  Different news channels tell us different happenings in our world and opposing viewpoints on COVID based on where and who you are...  In fact not just COVID but everything in between it seems...  Media is losing credibility with the people...

Edward Everett Hale

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”

We are living in dangerous times...  Doesn't it seem like a foreshadowing of things to come?  Anything we do is bringing us closer to the end...  However we can delay the inevitable...  These times that we have been living in make me think of life during the tribulation...  Could this possibly be a warning to us to mend our ways?  Before the real event happens?  Or will you be left behind?

That Almost Wasn't

July Begins

Take a Moment

Our country is out of control...  You can do things with dignity or you can have a tantrum on steroids.  Our country was founded on religious freedom and has a history that we have all learned about in grade school but nowadays it seems that there is a growing lack of respect for all things historical and religious...  Yes our country mourns and protests the fallen that shouldn't have fallen the way they did but when a major historical figure was nailed to a cross what did the world do then?  He forgave...  Do we forgive?  Or do we retaliate?
