I reached into my purse for my phone to show grandson, Sam, a message. Then it hit me. That thing I saw fly off the front of my car on the highway was my phone that I laid there in my garage twenty minutes earlier. It wasn’t a piece of paper—it was my phone; my brains! “Oh no! My phone!” “What’s the matter, Grandma? Did you leave your phone in the car?” “No. It’s on the fly-over…
This year started off with a bang. We have a new branch on our family tree. Granddaughter Kate Nissen married Sam Armstrong in College Station, TX in a lovely outdoor wedding on New Year’s Day. She is the daughter of our daughter, Sara and her husband, Scott. The joy of watching our family grow never gets old. It takes a long time to grow family trees, but it’s worth the effort!

The air is filled with Christmas music. The ads pop up on the computer screens advertising potential gifts. The mail is filled with tantalizing invitations to spend money. All of this is to get us into the swing of the season. Supposedly to bring Christmas joy. The real reason for the season often takes a back seat to all the frenetic frenzy. There is a series called The Chosen that will soon come out with its third season. You can…
Psalm 91 is known as the Soldier’s Psalm. There are many accounts online attesting to the power of this psalm.

When I visited Ireland I saw strong, stone towers somewhat similar to the one above. Proverbs 18:10 says, The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe. When Vikings came to wipe out a settlement, the citizens ran into these towers. Today, we have the name of Jesus as our strong tower. Are you trusting Him for His protection?

There are eight episodes in the first season with eight seasons planned. If you haven’t seen it I would highly recommend it. The first episode I found a little hard to follow because they were introducing the main characters, but by the second episode it was much easier to follow. One…
Expiration Date We each have an expiration date stamped in an unseen spot. The date is known only to our Creator. He knows those who’ll spend eternity with Him and those who will not. You see, we’ll all live forever. It’s up to us to choose the spot. Choose Jesus as your ruler to view eternity from heaven. Otherwise, you’ll live forever where it’s dark and hot.
Today we find all kinds of crazy stuff on the internet in our inboxes. This guy is the real deal. He is a true prophet of God. He posts prayers every day for us to pray together and a great source of hope. God is still in the business of the impossible. The Bible has an account of when king Jehoshaphat was facing an enemy. 2 Chron. 20:20 They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness…
