I downloaded a friend on the Internet in the Spring of 1997, her name is Kathy and she is a true blessing in my life – she ends every email and every Facebook post with three little words: God is good. Three little words that pack a big message. God IS good, all the time…. [Read More]

r.i.p.
R.I.P. Rest In Peace I have had this on my mind for over a month, well over a month actually. What does it mean to “rest in peace”? We hear people say it; see it posted on Facebook when someone passes away; and perhaps we even say it ourselves. As a born-anew believer in God… [Read More]

Blah – Blah – Blah! Blog – Blog – Blog! I wonder if that’s how the word got started. Blogging, an Internet phenomena, is quite fascinating. Isn’t it astounding that so many people have so much to say. There are blogs about everything under the sun and even about the sun itself! Are you a… [Read More]
