Phil, thank you for thinking of me and updating me. As you have said, things do change. We know Rom. 8:28 will always be true, regardless of man's futile attempt to block the light. Annie and you have run the race. God bless you for all your time, talent and treasure invested in lives of...

Most of us have some sense of this knowledge, however, it is a constant reminder to those who don't subscribe to our Lord and Savior. God and Pain The difficult question of pain forms a thorny question on which volumes have been written. Why do the innocent suffer? Why do we face all...

Phil, A very Merry Christmas to you also. May God continure to bless you as you feed the flock. You are so faithful. Thank you for doing what God and Annie would have you to do. I so hope all that are on here everyday appreciate the devoted time and comments that you bring. Through you...

What a wonderful bunch of thankful expressions. I am for ever thankful and mindful that we do not live in a world of the living looking forward to death. We are in a dying world looking forward towards life. We may have come to America in different ships, but we are all in the same boat...

Just checking in to see that Phil is still giving you all the great love and support you are looking for. Thank you Phil for your faithfulness. Faith, Trust, and Evidence I’ve been trying to avoid using the word ‘faith’ recently. It just doesn’t get the message across. ‘Faith’ is a word...

Phil, Looks like your holding down the fort by yourself. Most of my contact is with those who write on f/b or send an e-mail. I just happened to post the other day, not sure why, but thank you for your comments. Time seems to go by so fast, yet, I know it is very hard each day for those...

Helen, I am having a good summer. Golfing a bunch, watching our grandchildren play base ball and soft ball. Thank you for taking the time to say hello. I think of the gang and wonder how all of you are doing. I do hear from some, time to tme. Your a strong person. You have been helpful to...

It has been a while, I still think of many of you, knowing day by day it is very hard to face the challenges. Be of good cheer.. At the Border of Faith and Doubt It seemed like yet another routine border crossing in what was then Communist-ruled Czechoslovakia.(1) The year was 1981; Leonid...

Hi again, thanks for all the welcome backs. I don't really get here as often as you well know. However, I am ever mindful of the reason we are here. Grace and peace to you all. Gentleman Jim How many Chiropractors does it take to change a light bulb. Only one, but it takes six visits. I...

Haven't been here for quite some time, but you all are doing a fine job of telling jokes. :-) A man goes into the bar, orders 3 beers. Setting there drinking the bar keep suggests that he only order one beer at a time so the other two won't get cold. But, the man explains that his two...

Into the World as We Know It Garrison Keillor’s description of Aunt Marie is one I have not been able to shake this season. Repeatedly, she has come to mind in discordant moments of Christmas preparation, somewhere between errands at the mall and lyrics that put a stop to them. “Long lay the...

Laurel, You have my prayers dear one. Two years ago today (Christmas day) Eddie received his trach. What a day. Be of good cheer, Christ has overcome the world. May the scars be turned into stars. May healing rest our souls with hope of a great future, where there is no pain and...

O taste of the Lord and see that He is Good. Amen Psl. 139: 1-12 139 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not...

If you want a nice religious story, don't read this. The truth about Christmas is the Biblical truth. It is a bit different than the commercial social stories depict. Enjoy The Real Story The foreign magi arrived in the little town of Bethlehem, not as three lone men as many songs and...

Sequoia, I just love that name. You are truly a deep rooted person with such a love and care for others. As our roots intertwine, we are able to stand upright and tall. A book has been written about Abe Lincoln; “A tree is measured best when it is down.” Those around you, more than likely...
