We tell our children that tomorrow's world is going to be much different than today's. We tell them that they will have worse or more intense evil to face and to teach their children against. It's a scary future if you get to focusing on the news or listening to too much VCY America radio. Being… Continue reading Wake Up Call For Us Moms
Reformatting December 2010
I had a bad bug in my computer. This bug would throw up red boxes onto my screen at random and then emit a fierce weird scream. Besides it held the whole security system hostage. I could not scan for it. I could not put it in quarantine. And as I frantically tried to gather… Continue reading Reformatting December 2010
‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’
I have always considered this carol to be a little fanciful, maybe not quite accurate. It was written in protest during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Some of you are old enough to remember those days when tension ran high between the United States government and the Russian leader, Khrushchev. Russia was building… Continue reading ‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’
Ice-Skating
I have wonderful memories of ice-skating all my growing up years. We always had a puzzle to work in the evening after we had frozen our toes skating on the creek (pronounced krik) ice. I will never forget the return of feelings in my toes and the resulting pain. It is a wonder we… Continue reading Ice-Skating
Christmas and The Family Tree
Isaiah, Zechariah, and Jeremiah prophesied that there would be a unique sprout on the family tree some day. It would come of David’s branch. In fact, He is referred to as The Branch. Think about gardens and sprouts. Think especially of shrubbery. Gardeners know that sometimes a root decides to grow a sprout. Roses are… Continue reading Christmas and The Family Tree
Evening At Home
‘By this time it was getting dark, and snowing pretty heavily; and as Scrooge and Spirit went along the streets, the brightness of the roaring fires in kitchens, parlours, and all sort of rooms, was wonderful. Here, the flickering of the blaze showed preparations for a cosy dinner, with hot plates, baking through… Continue reading Evening At Home
Northwood’s Notoriety
Elv says, “You can forget trying to sell this house anytime soon.” Well, we weren’t really trying to sell the house at present, but if we were, yes, we’d be obliged to give it up. Nobody wants to take up residence in a neighborhood known for burglary and theft. Maybe we don’t want to live… Continue reading Northwood’s Notoriety
My Thanksgivings
1. A Good Husband. I realize more and more how valuable that is to me and not to be taken for granted. I don’t really need comparisons to know this, but this year I do make some comparisons having a friend in my life who doesn’t have the same testimony these days. Along with my… Continue reading My Thanksgivings
Light Bills and Laundry
We have a “light bill” at our house. That’s what we call the bill for using the freezer, fridge, toaster, washer, the computers, and, of course, the lights. I missed numerous plug-in stuff, I’m sure. We have never had a very low light bill. For some reason, we have to make a special effort… Continue reading Light Bills and Laundry
The Tiny Girls At Church
I took my camera to church this morning and took this picture of the little women in church. Just moments before I got this one the little lady on the left had greeted the little lady on the right with a sweet hug. Obviously she is watching the mommies in church greeting each other. “More… Continue reading The Tiny Girls At Church
