No accidents, no tickets and I was still certain that they would make me take a driving test because of my age. However, that was not to be the case, and I walked out, good for another five years. What was most interesting was when the attendant looked up and said: “Your hair color?” Naturally,Continue reading “MY DRIVER’S LICENSE”

AN INTERESTING GENEALOGY
Our daughter, Cathy, recently acquired an interest in the family genealogy. I know little about my family background, but when she started asking questions, I realized I knew less than I thought. For instance, in the past it is obvious that folks were quick to name the new child out of the family history ofContinue reading “AN INTERESTING GENEALOGY”
FOR JUST A MOMENT
He went to the city of Hamilton and purchased tickets for our family, his mother and a cousin to spend 28 days on the Lady Nelson. There was probably about 30 to 40 passengers total and those were the days when the ships carried both passengers and freight. Each moment of that cruise was phenomenal. Continue reading “FOR JUST A MOMENT”
QUICKIE LICKITY
These, in all probability, catch more attention than long, drawn out dissertations. Of course some individuals are really not interested in what another says on any given subject. I must illustrate: From Psalm 103—“He has not dealt with us according to our sin, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as theContinue reading “QUICKIE LICKITY”

“SEE THIS WOMAN!”
Jesus was reclining, so she went to his feet. In all of our lives there are experiences that we might call “incongruous”! They happen at the most inappropriate moment; they could not have happened at a more undesirable place. Everything at that instant seems “why here?” There are many other locations for such an eventContinue reading ““SEE THIS WOMAN!””
TWO SONS
It seemed logical to Him. You barely get into your reading of the Scripture, when you discover how different two sons of the same parents can develop. Adam and Eve had numerous children according to Genesis 5; however we are only informed of Cain and Abel initially. Others enter the picture as more specifics areContinue reading “TWO SONS”
FOREVER IS FOREVER
“God cannot forgive a sin twice!” It was never my privilege to hear the great preacher Dr. F.B.Meyer, however, I have been honored to have a number of his books in my library. In fact, when we were married, our dear friend Dan Bartkow gave us a little book on marriage that was authored byContinue reading “FOREVER IS FOREVER”
FORGIVENESS IS BLESSED!
Personally, I have experienced that beautiful moment when God heard my cry for help and forgiveness was experienced… Meandering through the 32nd Psalm one is reminded of what the past was like and what it is in the present.
