Musings— Written September 11, 2025. Today is a sad day for the American people—a day of remembering of a dark day in history—the day the towers fell. That day changed life for all the American people and affected the whole world. Yesterday a young man, a fellow American, fell to the bullet of an... Continue Reading →
Rich or Poor
My mind was still groggy with sleep, as I left my warm bed and entered the chilly bathroom to get ready for the day. I wound the knob on the heater a couple clicks clockwise and soon began to enjoy the warm air flowing from the machine—it felt pretty nice. In my half-awake state, I... Continue Reading →
Have You Any Meat
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.John 21:5-6 KJV Today Jesus is... Continue Reading →
Incomprehensible God
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:11-12 KJV Can you imagine that? “As far as the east is from the west!” How far... Continue Reading →
Light, Glorious Light!
Light, oh glorious light! How amazing, how refreshing, how needful it is to have light. The more birthdays I have, the more I have the need of light to help my eyesight.

So here is another cat story for you. I could not decide what to call it; it seems like I could have come up with something a bit more appropriate, but in the end the title is the title and not the story. If you remember back to the post about Kits, Cats, Little Girls... Continue Reading →
The Gift of Peace
It was not with pretty ribbons or covered in beautiful wrapping. No wreaths or garlands or beams with holly entwined, no drummer boys, and likely no angry innkeeper. No reindeer and sleighs, or cedar boughs, and no bells to herald his arrival. But there was Joseph and Mary, and a baby in a manger. There... Continue Reading →
The Common People
And the common people heard him gladly. Mark 12:37 The common people heard him, Jesus, gladly. The teaching of Jesus carried an attractive, down to earth quality, which reached the hearts of the common people. Religious leaders of the day tended to be hypocritical and oppressed the poor.

The Greatest Love Story
The ring of the hammer, a soft moan of pain were all that was heard. The silent crowd standing by, watching, and listening. The grunt of straining men, the cross was raised, a thump was heard as it contacted the bottom of the hole. One could almost hear the tearing sinew, as bleeding flesh pulled... Continue Reading →
The Gift
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them....
