Several years ago, my daughter was working on cleaning her room and had come to give me the official “it’s clean now” report, which was my cue to go check her room. Almost always, without fail, I would have to then point out all the things scattered on the floor, sticking out from under the […]

I grew up listening to my grandfather tell me stories of the past. He was influential in instilling in me a love for a good story, and I learned a lot from him about the importance of telling the story well. No matter how many times he told me the stories of his youth, I

Several years ago, my daughter got several new pairs of pants. Since she is like her mother, she is height challenged. All of her pants needed to be hemmed. Thankfully, my Aunt Shirley was able to help us out and came to measure my daughter to know how to hem them. She brought a stepping

Come to the Well Today is one of my high pain days so I have spent the last couple hours propped up on pillows on the couch studying and listening to the Bible on DVD. I am currently listening to John chapter four which tells the story of Jesus’ meeting with the Samaritan woman. He
Before I begin today’s story, I must say that what I will be speaking of will in part be based on my personal convictions and I in no way intend to start a debate on the subject matter that follows. I am simply sharing what God has laid on my heart and I trust Him
