A Seashell Testifies
When I lived in Alaska with its mountains, glaciers, wildlife, and northern lights, I believed anyone who doubted the existence of God only needed to come to the Great Alone. The awe-inspiring natural beauty there is humbling, giving credence to the Apostle Paul’s...
Angels and Escalators
I’m not a fan of escalators. As a child, I feared if I didn’t step off quickly enough, my feet would be sliced off when the escalator step descended beneath the plate at the bottom. As an adult, I’m watchful to step off an escalator as quickly as I can. Unfortunately,...

Israel: The Sea of Galilee
When I first laid eyes on the sparkling blue Sea of Galilee, I was amazed at how beautiful it is. This body of water is actually a freshwater lake with a circumference of 33 miles and an area of 64 square miles. This is the same sea Jesus walked on and stilled with a...
Shell-Shocked
I could see him through the glass in my backdoor because I have a clear view from my recliner. Bandit, my light brown Chihuahua and Terrier mix, was ready to come in. It was 9 pm Super Bowl Sunday evening, and I was watching the game. Wishing for a doggy door didn’t...
Pondering Time
Like many, I embrace the new year with hope for more joy than sorrow and success in accomplishing a list of goals. In the days leading up to a New Year’s Day, I typically reflect on the previous year, considering the good, the bad, and the ugly. This past year’s end...Welcome
