I love my son. He’s just a special guy, extremely intelligent, and loves God with all his heart. In my opinion, he and my husband are two of the smartest guys I have ever known. Josh is involved in a theology discussion board. He freely shares his beliefs, quite often the only person with his particular beliefs. Well, except me and maybe one other person. But he is faithful to his understanding of God’s Word. Here are just a few comments he has made: “…don’t become bitter. Somedays you find the edge of bitter and peek over. Just don’t fall.”… Continue reading →

In past weeks, on one of the discussion boards I frequent, we discussed in great detail one day what would happen to the person who dared to ever hurt one of our children or grandchildren. We held back no contempt for such a one who would commit a heinous crime against a family member, nor did we hold back the description of exactly what we’d do to such a one. And then it happened—in a matter of two weeks, three killings at different schools in our country; a principal killed by a sick young man, a young girl killed by… Continue reading →

Recently I was on a discussion board, and we were chatting back and forth about churches in general.

About two years ago, she began experiencing some heart problems, and from there her health just deteriorated. She had a stroke a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday she went HOME. Face to face with the Savior. What an occasion! Same with the man who died…. Continue reading →

“Grandma, can I hold you?”“Sure, baby, climb up here on my lap, and you can hold me as long as you want. Mmmm, I love for my little buddy to hold his grandma.”…“Grandma?”“Yes, sweetie?”“What do you want to be when you grow up?”“Hmm, let’s see. I think, hmm, I think I want to be a grandma when I grow up.”“You already are a grandma!”“Oh, that’s right! Well, then I guess I got to be what I wanted to be.”“You’re silly, grandma.”“No, you’re silly!”“No, you’re silly, grandma!” “And what do you want to be when you grow up?”“Spiderman.”“Wow, that’s pretty neat….
