“When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.” […]

When The Lord Comes to Visit
Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves […]
Separation
The account of the fall of man is one of the saddest stories in the Bible, if not the worst. Stop and think about it. Had Adam and Eve not sinned, nothing else bad in the Bible would have occurred. We could still be enjoying the Garden of Eden, meeting and walking with the Lord […]
Let There Be Light
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he […]
Have a Joyful Christmas
Thanksgiving and Christmas seems to be such a busy time. I have often wished there were a few more weeks in between the two holidays. I spend time planning the big Thanksgiving meal I prepare for my family and then Christmas seems to sneak up on me. Unfortunately, I’m not one of those organized persons […]

A Salute To Veterans
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our United States Veterans. I appreciate the sacrifice and service that they have given and are still giving to our country. I have to admit that since my daughter is a veteran, I now have a greater appreciation of anyone who has given themselves […]
Lights On, Lights Off
The older I get the more I feel like technology is maybe taking over too many activities in our daily lives. Some things, of course, are good; some others, maybe not so much. I guess a lot of how much it’s appreciated depends on whether it is reliable or not. I don’t trust the auto-correct […]
I Think Of You Often
October 15 was Remembrance Day for Pregnancy and Infant Loss. There are many who have lost babies due to miscarriage. My daughter and her husband lost a child, and I lost a grandchild. There is a void left in the parent’s life and in the lives of the whole family. As a Christian, there is […]
