Every year I experience pretty much the same stages you might go through...denial, napping, procrastination, more napping, starting my diet tomorrow, and finally facing the Christmas decorations and gift returns that I can not put off for another day...and yet I do. I really am excited about the new year, though, I was just hoping… Continue reading Another New Year

It's Good Friday. Our grandkids spent the night last night and Bill was telling the Bible story about good Friday and what it means. He reminded them that it seems strange to call the day Jesus was crucified and suffered "Good" Friday. It was the most painfully hard day for Jesus in every way but… Continue reading Good Friday
