Their many messes would make me sigh “Grow up already!” Then time did fly. One’d climb trees, she’d go way too high. One’d check the weather, before saying “Goodbye”. Soon one was driving, and me oh my, the things she’d hit…would make her lie! Too soon they were grown, no need now to try. But I wish it back…that time gone by. When o...

IMAGINE THIS It was another rainy Monday. We’d had an abundance of rain and folks were grumbling.

Tired moms and dads smiled, exhausted coaches and grandparents smiled, passing motorists smiled, bikers...

I will say to the   Lord , “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
