Special Day...January 8, 1971

Tomorrow, My wife, Rose, and I will celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary. We have known one another since I was 5 and she was 3. We fought like cats and dogs when we were growing up, and NOW, we are licensed fighters with 38 years of experience. LOL Rose and I have been through some rough times... Sign in to see full entry.

Knock, Knock...Who's there?

There are a ton of knock-knock jokes, and kids get a big kick out of going through their cache that is full to the brim.

'Twas the Night before Jesus Came'

'Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house Not a creature was praying, not one in the house. Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care In hopes that Jesus would not come there. The children were dressing to crawl into bed. Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head. And Mom in...

I AM That I AM

Maybe I should have titled this Today's Reminder. We are all aware of the scriptures where Jesus said I AM, but sometimes we do not live as though we know them. We need to jog our memory from time to time and remind ourselves of how great He is. He is our all in all and there is no one that compares... Sign in to see full entry.

The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time there were three little pigs; Oinky, Squeaky, and Porky. These three guys were playful, care-free, and a wee bit careless. One day each of the little pigs decided to build himself a house. Oinky chose to construct his home of straw. He worked steadily until it was completed. That... Sign in to see full entry.

I saw this on a T-shirt...

What will they think of next? It has a good message but I would have never thought of using the titles of soaps for a catchy message. When the world was Young and Restless, Those were the Days of Our Lives. God said, "You're All My Children." Let Me be your Guiding Light and I will take you to... Sign in to see full entry.

It Might Be Interesting...

If Jesus came to your house To spend some time with you, If He came unexpected, I wonder what you'd do. Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room To such an honored guest And all the food you'd give to Him Would be the very best. And you would keep assuring Him You're glad to have Him there-- That...
