Christmas In Black and White

I will admit I am a huge fan of black and white movies.  Christmas movies are no exception.
I love spending afternoons or evenings watching holiday movies during the weeks leading up to Christmas. Watching movies at home is A LOT cheaper than actually going to the theatre. You can make your own popcorn at home [...]

Give A Cup Of Cheer

This is the simplest of things to do for Christmas….but sometimes the things that are the most simple, simply mean the most.
Give everyone in your family a cup or mug from the kitchen cabinet.  Or you could use jars if you have them on hand.  These will be their “cups of cheer” during the holiday [...]

Bringing Peace To Your Home for the Holidays

Today I’ve done some more “research” for my Christmas experiment.  I came across an article in “life:beautiful” magazine (Winter 2008-Wanda J. Ventling and Allan Edeker).  It was an excellent article on ways to bring peace home.  I thought, “what a great article!”  True peace only comes from the Prince of peace…which is Jesus Christ. I [...]

It’s Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas!

Sorry for being such a slacker this week with my blog.  In the evening (when I normally blog) I’ve just been so tired that I kept saying, “”I’ll do it tomorrow.”  Next thing I knew the week was gone and I hadn’t updated.  Shame on me.
So, I’ve been coming to terms with the fact that [...]

Hold My Hand

When the waves crash around me
And I do not understand,
When I feel myself going under
Father, please hold my hand!
 
When I’m in a dark night
and I can’t see the plan,
When the stars no longer shine
Father, please hold my hand!
 
When life becomes so hard
and all I ask is, “Why?”
When I long to smile,
but only seem to cry
Father, [...]

Man Who Snapped? Or Terrorist?

This crazy man who let loose on the soldiers and civilians at Ft. Hood last Friday…did he just snap or was he a terrorist?
After hearing what others have had to say about him and his personal activities it really has to make one wonder. It for sure was premeditated. He was giving personal possessions away [...]

Her Father Murdered Her

I saw on the news again today that a young American woman of middle-eastern descent was killed by her father.  This is so repulsive to me. HE RAN HER OVER WITH HIS CAR!!!  His reasoning was that she was becoming too westernized.  He rather her be dead then be westernized.  THEN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD [...]

Of Mice and Men…Uh Make That Women Too.

Life is difficult right now for a lot of people. The economy is in a slump, people not being able to find jobs, penny pinching is the norm.  We could all use a good laugh, and because I don’t mind using my own fiasco’s of life to make for a good story and hopefully some [...]

Wanting To Knock On The Door Of Small Town America

It is still a dream of mine. A dream I’ve had for several years. One I’d like to accomplish before I die. Hopefully, I will have many years to work on the project:)
I’ve mentioned before that I want to write a book about small town America. I long to travel the entire 50 states visiting [...]

God In America pt.2

Those that say God has no place in America obviously don’t know their history. Or they choose out right denial of  the history of the United States of America.God has been an important part of the United States since the very beginning.
I have a wonderful book entitled America’s God and Country-Encyclopedia of Quotations by William [...]
