As I write this, I am three days from another birthday. When I look back on life, I can see God working in every part. We all go through life-changing events. Nearly everyone can include marriage, the birth of children, and grandchildren on the list. Still, I will set those aside for the moment and … Continue reading Life Changing Events

I Pray The Answer Is Not What I Think It Is.
The technological differences stand out more than anything else when thinking of yesteryear. But let us set technology aside and look at how things have changed. I was a kid in the 1960s and a teenager in the 1970s, so my vantage point comes from that period. The school year ran from Labor Day until … Continue reading I Pray The Answer Is Not What I Think It Is.
Kids Today
Even as an adult, I loved hearing my parents discuss their childhood. Both mom and dad were from the "hollers" of West Virginia. "Holler" in West Virginia speak, is the land of nothing flat, the land of hills and valleys; to the rest of us, it is where Hillbillies live before they move to Beverly … Continue reading Kids Today

The Thanksgiving edition of this column is usually an attempt to have people see that Thanksgiving had changed from a day of thankfulness to God to "Turkey Day" surrounded by materialism. Hopefully, this would … Continue reading Giving Thanks
To The Graduates Of 2020
We had the pleasure of attending my granddaughter Brooklynn's High School Graduation Ceremony last week. The local homeschool group hosted the event. Our State Senator, Phil Boots, gave the speech. In our area, some of the high schools have not yet held graduation. Others had online ceremonies. Still, others only allowed immediate family in the … Continue reading To The Graduates Of 2020
God’s Adoption
This morning while reading through social media, I saw a post listing eight promises from God. Every one of them is true, but the problem is, many people will apply God's promises to themselves when they only apply to God's children. We have a relationship with our children that we do not have with the … Continue reading God’s Adoption
