A gift by will Legacy…is defined as a gift by will, especially of money or other personal property; something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past. Of course, it can go way beyond tangible assets. As I was pondering this subject, Arthur Wood, Jr., the 2019 Abiding Fathers’ Legacy award recipient, now 100 years […]
COVID-19 Sickness…is the very opposite to wellness. It seems that doctors are more trained to deal with sickness than to address wellness that might delay or actually prevent any future maladies. I’m grateful for the medical profession in America. What would any of us do without proper medical treatment? Right now during this pandemic, these men and […]
A promise “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my […]
Mourning doves Peace among turmoil…is a state of mind we all attain to, at least a Believer. Since we are in the mist of shelter in place in our city and nation, I have begun to walk a mile and a half every morning in our neighborhood. Most of the time I am praying for […]

They are guards or sentinels. In a broader sense, […]
Palm Sunday As I was participating in our online church service today with my wife in our home, I was overwhelmed by a thought. It is Palm Sunday.

Instagram…and I are not companions. But Joanne shares several things from her account, mostly when something is posted by our family. Most come from our five grandchildren. While I love them all, occasionally there is one that really sparks my interest and blesses my heart. Right, that happened today. As with your children and grandchildren, they are all at […]
The unknown Sequestered but not silenced…is my feeling right now in this season of change in our world brought about by the infectious virus outbreak. Due to technology, we can be quarantined from the outside world and our families, but not disconnected from them. I send and receive numerous messages each day. The incoming messages are […]
One nation under God What does the American flag and God have in common? It’s a stretch but these are my thoughts. As a kid in school, we always stood at attention in our classroom as the Principal led us in the Pledge of Allegiance to our nation’s flag. At an early age I sensed […]
