February has never been my favorite month of the year. Actually, no winter month is a favorite of mine. But, in New England where I come from, February is notoriously known as ‘flu month’ and ‘storm/nor’easter/frigid-cold month’. That’s not a good combination. And to boot, it has another – an extra day this month. 2020…
In Philippians 3:12-16, the apostle Paul seems to be taking inventory of his life. As Christians, we need to stop periodically and measure our progress – to review our accomplishments in our personal life as well as our professional life. And there seems to be no better time to do that than at the end…
Christmas was a wonderful time while growing up. Because we lived deep in the country in Maine – actually, back woods-Maine, we did all those Norman Rockwell traditions. Daddy would go off into the woods to cut down the perfect Christmas tree for the family – and if it wasn’t quite perfect, he would cut…
Several years ago, we had a very special Thanksgiving. It was the first time that my daughter-in-law and two future daughters-in-law would all be in our home sharing a wonderful Thanksgiving feast together.

August is the month of my birth. Yup – I was an ‘August baby’. Nearly every birthday after I was a grown up, my mother would tell me, ‘how I suffered with you’ (giving birth)! I’m thinking that it was one of those terribly hot August dawg-days – and I’m sure with no air conditioning,…
God bless America, land that I love Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with the light from above
Because of a series of overwhelming challenges this past month – and truly being too mentally exhausted to write something original, I have decided to include this writing by Bernadette Noll. The subject of ‘sea glass’ is very near and dear to my heart. I have a tall bottle of it right full from when…
