America..Fraught With Faults But Also Filled With Blessings

Monday, July 14th, 2008

There is little doubt that there are many suffering in this country these days. Lay-offs, cut backs and business closures have affected families from coast to coast.
Foreclosures are mounting. In many cases this is not due to those unscrupulous mortgage lenders nor those who signed loan papers on a home they could, [...]

God Has Blessed Us This Week Especially

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

On Tuesday I told you our daughter in law had been taken by ambulance to the hospital for a suspected aneurysm in her brain. After sending emails to our church list and to prayer warriors on my email list we were so relieved to get the answer in such a short time. She [...]

A Most Unusual Christmas

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Anyone who knows me knows I don’t get all tied up with the commercialism of Christmas. I love to give gifts more than receive them.
Christmas is not biblically correct anyway. There is no way shepherds would have been sleeping with their sheep in December, as the weather in that part of the world [...]

The Anchoress Requests Prayers for Her In-Laws

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

The Anchoress is asking for prayers for her in-laws.
Both are suffering from medical problems, but her father-in-law has been taken to the hospital for emergency surgery. This is, naturally, difficult on his wife and the entire family.
Please pray for God’s Will to be done and, if it is His Will, to heal the father-in-law. [...]

Our Heritage

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

As regular readers know, Guss and I are Native Americans who grew up on an Indian Reservation in Maine.

A Soothing Finish to a Long Day

Monday, June 11th, 2007

The fingers are willing but the brain just won’t cooperate tonight.
I began a post and realized it wasn’t even sensible to me so I used the trusty delete button and stopped by my old standby and found this.
After a day of politics, human interest stories, personal reflections, frustration and humor, it was nice to [...]

Please Pray For This Family

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

newton has been a good blogging friend of mine since she and I were the only bloggers on Oh How I Love Jesus. She moved with me and my partners to HRP but continued to write on OHILJ until I shut it down earlier this year.
She has written an email to me that breaks [...]
