A crazy wonderful summer spent in Alaska changed my life forever. Memories from that summer with a few pictures brings tears to my eyes and a warm glow to my heart. In one of my previous posts (How NOT to Catch A Husband), I told you about what happened the summer of 1967 when I went to Alaska, to Victory Bible Camp, and met a fellow named Dan Work. He and I were counselors at the camp that summer. I found some pictures to go with that story that I thought you might enjoy. So, here you go – ... View the Post
Six Important Life Lessons I Learned on the Road to Bethlehem
It's not an easy journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Especially when you're pregnant. 1. Do what God asks you to do even if it's hard. I walked that road once, a long time ago, and we didn't have cars, planes, motor bikes, or any other kind of powered vehicle to help like you have today. We didn't even have a horse or a camel. I hate to break it to you, but we didn't have a donkey, either. Oh, rats. Now you'll have to find new picture for your Christmas cards! I was incredulous ... View the Post
Why I Hate Halloween!
Five Reasons Why I Hate Halloween and Zombies I will probably get into trouble with this post because some of you out there are ardent Halloween fans.

Why, even our beloved Charlie Brown characters go to the pumpkin patch to await the arrival of the Great ... View the Post

The Day Jesus Came To My House
I got a message from the Lord that He was going to visit me today. In my house. In person. Wow. I rush to pick up the dishes from breakfast and sweep the floor, Then I meet Him at the door and greet Him joyfully. "Come on in, Lord," I say with a sweep of my arm. "Sit here. I hope You don't mind the old couch. Do you want some coffee? It can't do any harm." "Tea," He says. "That's what I'd like." So I brew Him up a cup of my special Good Earth tea and pour it into a china cup I have reserved ... View the Post
A Yard Sale of Mammoth Proportions
Six workable irons stood together on a shelf in her garage, silent witnesses to the futility of her life. It was a yard sale of mammoth proportions. For our small community of only several hundred people, it was the event of the year (around 1986), and it provided stuff for yard sales for years to come. I imagine that the items from that sale are still being circulated in yard sales to this day. It all started when a lady died in our church. Well, she didn't pass away during the service, (Dan ...
