Last August 23rd, 2022, I did a dumb thing. I had just turned 73. I must have been dyslexic, thinking I was 37. I was on an extension ladder with my chain saw, cutting off a very large diameter dead 30 foot long limb from a dead tree in our side yard. The limb didn’t fall where I thought it would. Instead, it knocked the ladder off of the tree and I was on the ladder. How utterly gauche of the tree limb to do that. I fell 10 feet to the ground, broke my left shin in multiple places and shattered part of the bone. The emergency medical teams and fire fighters were there ..read more

     She came to us in January, 2020 thru a Christian women’s group in our hometown. She had been addicted to drugs for years, had two children which the court had taken away and were adopted by a wonderful Christian couple. This couple kept in touch with her over the years and sent her regular updates and pictures of her/their children. She was eight months pregnant, had just come clean and had nowhere to live.                                                 ..read more

     This last year, 2022, has been a rough year for Patti and I. January 27th, my wife lost the last and closest member of her immediate family. Her brother, Steve, died from pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed in early 2021 with it. We went out to see him in California in May of that year while he was still himself. In late January of 2022 we got the call that the end was near. When we got there, he had already slipped into a coma. Yet when Patti came into his room, he knew she was there. A few days later, he passed into the loving arms of Jesus. His wife, Sigrid, was at his b ..read more

       Keeping a romantic spark in your marriage isn’t easy. Work, kids, ministry, hobbies and just plain relaxing all take time. Doing little acts of kindness to your wife takes effort and planning.      I am definitely not an expert in this area. Thinking up things to do takes creativity and I have about one ounce of that. To make up for my lack of creativity, I bought a few booklets, like: “How to make love with your clothes on: 101 ways to romance your wife” “10,000 ways to romance your wife” “Dating Your Wife” Online resources are good for idea ..read more

     America has turned away from God. We now have leaders in charge that support abortion, LBGQT so called “rights”, allowing men to use girls toilet and shower facilities while competing in their sports and a slew of other ungodly things. What are we bible believing Christians to do? I answered this question in a previous blog entitled “When who you voted for doesn’t get elected”. We’re to keep on doing what God has called us to do in the first place. It’s never easy to see our great country morally slide down into the abyss. Israel did this many times in the book of Judg ..read more
