If I Could Only Say One Thing To Graduates
IN AWE OF OUR CREATOR
This mother/nana is completely in awe. It’s our fourth grandchild and nothing can diminish the complete joy and awe of what God has done! I’ll never tire of this privilege. Keep ’em […]
The Picture of a Know-it-All
It never fails. When I prepare a lesson to teach my sixth graders on Sunday mornings, I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING. It’s funny to me that these eleven and twelve-year olds, many that […]
Mom and Dad
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are just around the corner, and so today I want to share part of a letter that I wrote to my parents several years ago at Christmas: Sometimes […]
What Are We Telling a Future Generation?
I am so grateful that I learned about God at a young age. I’m especially thankful that God, who wants His creation to know HIm, provided a way for us to learn […]
Just So I Can Say, “I WENT!”

God Alone
I don’t apologize, nor do I pretend that everyone believes it. From the beginning of time to the present, history proves it. Man has been searching for Truth about God, and He […]
