Happy Father’s Day!

Father’s Day — isn’t it great to have a day for us to stop and honor our fathers! As Christian families, we need to put back into dad, encourage him and always thank and praise him for all that he does for the family! Fathers usually will not ask for this but, they need it! Many times we will run to our Moms and lavish them in hugs and kisses and praise. We should not forget our Dad! Many times…

A Christmas Tale: Christmas Shoes

It was only five days before Christmas. The spirit of the season hadn’t yet caught up with me, even though cars packed the parking lot of our Houston area Target Shopping Center. Inside the store, it was worse. Shopping carts and last minute shoppers jammed the aisles. Why did I come today? I wondered. My feet ached almost as much as my head. My list contained names of several people who claimed they wanted nothing, but I knew their feelings…

FDR’s D-Day Prayer

FDR’s D-Day Prayer Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our Allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation.

Living Victoriously

I’ve always wanted my life to count, without my having to do anything terribly difficult, of course. But, the more I learn about the lives of men and women whose words and actions have a positive and profound effect upon others, I see that they learned life’s most essential truths while struggling to survive the hardships they faced.

Pickled Milk

My mother and grandmother had been making tomato sauce, and the house was filled with the aroma of the spices and fruit. What a lot of work was required in those days, toiling over the wood-fueled stove to produce that rich sauce. When all was cooked, the onion peelings, tomato skins and spices were seived away, and the strainings were duly dumped over the fence onto the rubbish pile in the adjoining field. They were well aware that cows grazed…

Load Bearing

I remember when I was a little girl and still living in the city, being fascinated with the wooden toy truck my father had made for my younger brother. To me it was a very large truck, in fact I tried it for size and I could sit in the tray! We were about to shift to a place in the country, and the truck was for my brother to use in “construction sites””, for carrying dirt and other such…
