Merry Christmas!

"The Family Man" Movie has a warm, loving ending especially for the holidays. Don't ask me why I got into it. Maybe it was the music, like the music in "Castaway" when Tom Hanks returned home and found out his wife remarried. What I liked was the crossroads he turned down returning the Fedex package with the angel wings. We all face crossroads that can change the course of our lives. Choices and decisions are not always easy.

The holidays can remind us of the choices and decisions we made in the past.  Some of are still living with them. Choices and decisions and affect the ones we make in our future. Think about them before you make them,

I wish everyone a safe and blessed year!




Stay strong, Dorothy! Hang in there, Harold! My prayers are with you! God bless!

Never Forget That Day!

It was 15 years ago that 19 al-Qaeda extremists filled with hatred changed the lives and freedoms of innocent Americans. That hate destroyed nearly 3,000 lives and is still destroying lives that were connected. Many people, especially, the 1st responders are still suffering and dying due to health issues associated with being exposed to toxins saving others. Stay in prayer for the land and her people.

There is a lot to be said, but never forget that day!




Dorothy, you are in our prayers. God bless you!

Good Article About the Way People See Things!



Jon Stewart is back. The former “Daily Show” host came out of retirement to join his old colleague, Stephen Colbert, on CBS’ “Late Show.”

He said:
You feel that you’re this country’s rightful owners. There’s only one problem with that: This country isn’t yours. You don’t own it. It never was. There is no ‘real America.’ 

You don’t own it. You don’t own patriotism, you don’t own Christianity, you sure as hell don’t own respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police and firefighters. Trust me.

I saw a lot of people on the convention floor in Cleveland with their ‘Blue Lives Matter’ rhetoric who either remained silent or actively fought against the 9/11 First Responders Bill reauthorization. I see you, and I see your...”

Good point, Jon. When people point out how bad others are, they can’t see their own faults.

Get well, Dorothy.

It's Hard to Let Go!

For Some People It's Hard To Let Go Of The Past!



Get Well Soon, Dorothy!

Grace and Mercy!

Mercy & Grace

Mercy withholds the knife from the heart of Isaac.
Grace provides a lamb in the thicket.

Genesis 22:11-14

Mercy runs to forgive the prodigal.
Grace throws a party with a robe, a ring, and a fatted calf.

Luke 15:20-24

Mercy hears the cries of the thief on the cross.
Grace promises paradise that very day.

Luke 23:39-43

Mercy converts Paul on the road to Damascus.
Grace calls him to be an apostle.

Acts 9:1-6, 17

Mercy keeps us out of Hell.
Grace takes us to heaven.

Ephesians 2:8-9

And the difference between mercy and grace is this . . .

Mercy withholds from us what we deserve.
Grace gives us what we do not deserve.

Romans 5:20

Tom Clay..What The World Needs Now (Abraham,Martin and John)



This might seem new to some of you, but always appropriate for all of us! We still need to hear this message. There have been so many lives lost to violence due to hatred.

Stay strong, Dot! You're in my prayers!
