Christmas Gifts

Christmas Gifts Christmas is over.  The presents are open and the wrapping paper thrown away.  At our house the “biggest” gift was our new grandson, Simeon, then just six weeks old.  Everyone wanted to hold him, to touch his oh-so-soft skin. We exclaimed over a smile, and the trusting eyes looking at everything, taking itContinue reading “Christmas Gifts”

TICK, TICK, TICK

Billy Graham What a great question. What are you doing to prepare for your last day on earth? What kind of legacy will you leave behind? I don’t know about you, but this sure makes me think! “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grassContinue reading “TICK, TICK, TICK”

Food for Thought

The Lord is Not Slow

When I read this verse, I think about all the souls who have never heard the gospel, or all those who have heard bits and pieces, but don’t understand or believe it. How reassuring to know that He does not want anyone to perish, but He will allow them to come to repentance. In HisContinue reading “The Lord is Not Slow”

Rejoice!
