I really enjoy reading history and studying things that happened in the past regarding our country. I was recently in Washington D.C. and visited many significant historical sights. As I study history, it always sheds light on the present. The people who went before us were thinking of us as they were building and leading…
I actually enjoy being around people with money. It’s not that I’m jealous or envious (at times I must confess I struggle with that), but because they act different. When people have money they are treated like they are more special than people without money. While I enjoy being around people of wealth, I’ve…
I really intend to start that exercise program very soon. I intend to come for a visit real soon. I intend start my diet next week. Intentions really mean well but without the “follow-through”, they are just thoughts or words with little meaning. I remember someone telling me years ago that “the road to…
The best of intentions can sometimes create problems. In the case of our lawmakers who make laws that intend to help, but in realty cause problems and unintended consequences. Planning and thorough study at the planning stage is critical to big projects and complicated ideas. King David longed to build the temple, but the Lord…
I had the privilege of seeing my son graduate from High School last evening. He was among a very impressive class of students. I was proud of him receiving Highest Honors as well. I was also impressed by the Salutatory and Valedictory addresses respectfully. The students have completed another part of their life journey. I…
I like things that are fairly simple. For example, if I purchase something that needs to be assembled, I will first look to see if I can figure out how to put it together. If it has a lot of parts, I will read the step-by-step directions. I have learned over the years that…
It’s currently graduation week at my house. I have a 2016 Graduate and he’s excited and probably a bit nervous about what lies ahead. I remember sometime back when he was in elementary school someone saying that he was in the class of 2016 – it seemed like forever away at the time – Now…
I’ve had the opportunity to travel some in my life. I actually enjoy going new places for a short period of time. I always miss my family, my chair, bed, my pillow – my routine. I traveled to Washington, D.C. last week to the REALTOR convention. I had the opportunity to meet with our two…
I’m still learning to be a giver. I’ve definitely learned that I can’t out-give The Lord. He is the Ultimate Giver. He gave His One and Only Son so that I could have my relationship with Him restored. I have hope through His Giving. I believe that my giving often blesses me as much…
I grew up singing at church, singing at home, singing in the car – singing everywhere. I love music and I love good songs. Someone can mention a song (good or bad) and it gets stuck in my head for a couple of hours. I’ve said many times before that I believe music and…
