    Late evening thoughts: Taking apart your parents home is extremely painful. You travel back through their lives and the life you lived with them. Your heart is cracked wide open exposing every emotional feeling you have ever felt towards your immediate family. So thankful the Word of God comforts us through this time. His love,… Read more

  • Let Go

    I do not believe it is healthy to dwell on and live in the past. God is a God of new beginnings. He sent His son so we could have life “and life more abundantly.” Swimming constantly in the waters of the past will prune your skin and you.Place your hope and faith In God… Read more

  • Gifts of Great Value

    In the early 1970’s my Grandpaw had a lake and a pond dug out on the farm in Looneyville. The lake was for fishing and swimming. The pond was for the cows to wade in and drink from. He built a fish fry/barbecue pit pavilion next to the lake. The lake also had a T… Read more
