Walking With Jake

In the last year of our dog’s life, he had become both deaf and blind. But oh did he still love to take a walk with you, sniffing, smelling and checking out whatever his nose led him to.

Yes, Virginia, There is a God

Recently I read a column in a newspaper with a comment from an atheist on the protective nature of God.

If Your Food Is Organic, Why Isn't Your Family Planning?

We no longer drink diet soda, eat a growing variety of sweets or chew gum because of artificial sweeteners. My husband switched us to tooth polish without fluoride and soap without antibacterial agents. Our eggs come free-ranged and our produce organic. Attending home school functions nowadays, we ...

What is Freedom?

Recent events in Paris have compelled me to think, share, and write my thoughts about the word freedom. What exactly is freedom?

Good "Mourning"

Sorrow did not exist in the Garden of Eden. Man brought it to the earth in response to Satan’s nefarious lure.

I think that much of my Christianity has to do with knowing who I am. Part of the remarkable change in Christ requires self awareness to properly ascertain what God has changed within me.
