See and hear what God has to say!
Linda and I have just returned from a pastor appreciation weekend getaway with our friends Steve and Kathy.
Our destinations included Broken Bow, Oklahoma and Beaver Bend State Park; then it was over to Oden, Arkansas where we stayed in a cabin on the Ouachita River. Continue reading
An accident waiting to happen!
Last night we got a text that there was a wreck around Broaddus; it was a teacher, her teenage girl, and one of her teen friends.
I am thankful for text messaging, Facebook, cell phones and all, but you can really be kept on pins-and-needles while you wait for the response to your text, “Is everyone okay?” Continue reading
Hold on to His Hand!
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. Prov 18:22

Be content with your blessings!
I didn’t realize that people griped, complained, moaned, and groaned so much until I got involved with Facebook!
If discontentment could be weighed, it would weigh a ton; thus there is a ton of discontentment on Facebook! Continue reading
Be who you are!
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous — and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, Continue reading
Use what you have!
As you may know I like photography!
I also like to read, study, and teach the Bible.
Perhaps you’re like me and have admired beautiful pictures with scripture. Any time I go into a Christian book store I love to go to that section and admire the art. Continue reading
