Just reflecting… Amazement and wonder, we literally stand in awe; Beginning with creation and what the shepherds saw. Every sunset is a testimony of His love for beauty; The flowers and birds shout acclamation to the Trinity. An ocean view, a howling wind and a deep blue sky; A youngster’s laugh, a full moon, […]
Unforgettable GOLF…is a game that captured me for a number of my adult years. Besides the joy of fellowship, being outdoors experiencing God’s creation, playing in numerous venues across this country and in Scotland, I found the game to really mirror life.
