• Better Than Counting Sheep

  One night last week I couldn’t sleep. I’d taken a Sudafed for some head congestion, and my body just wouldn’t let me drift off to sleep. So, I tried to heed the advice I’d received from a friend and shared on Facebook a week or two ago – use the time to talk with God. […]

• Success! I finally memorized it!

  “Jesus loves me, this I know … “That’s the first song I memorized as a child. That’s a song little children still memorize today. Sometimes when I’m practicing the piano or organ at church, a little child will timidly walk up to me to watch me play. I’ll stop what I’m playing and invite the […]

• Another Talk with Abbey

• “A Season for Every Activity under Heaven”

  There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven…. A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance….  [Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 4] Two friends of mine died last week. One was a high school classmate. Nicki had a very bubbly personality […]
