    What's On Your Mind?

    A mallard made a nest and laid eggs in my front flowerbed! It's about 20" from my small front porch and maybe equal distance from my house! She must have been desparate to choose that location.

    How to keep the faith despite the suffering in your life and others

    The more suffering I see the more I depend on God. I know that He will punish sin and give strength to those who see justice and kindness as a better option. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). The verse instructs us to put all our...

    I don't judge Luther. I've barely read anything about him. Do you have a problem with my statement? If so, please explain.

    Why is there suffering if God is real?

    I think some of us learn compassion through our suffering and others become bitter. I don't pretend to understand it all. But Jesus also suffered and He died for us. God definitely isn't experimenting because He controls the outcome and knows the future.

    I’ve never done this…

    Matt, I understand those feelings. I don't understand why we face so many disapointments, but please don't give up. Sometimes God shows us a different path. I'm in my late 70s. I know that I'd be worse off without God. Know that God and Christians love you. We are survivors and we will see the...

    Thank you for the prayers. Although it wasn't easy I survived. LOL: I fell into a wall in a public office but not on the floor and then caught my balance! My oh my! I hope the coming week is easier.

    Men listening to women teach the Bible!

    I don't think that men and women have different revelations of scripture. But men have authority in the church and boys and girls share classes. 2 Timothy 1:5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives...

    She saw the Alamo but it was after dark and she got some genuine German food even though they didn't go to New Braunfels.

    I need more help in my older age, but I'm getting less help! Please pray for me. This week is probably going to be a nightmare. However, I'm thanking the Lord in advance for any good that may surpise me.

    What's On Your Mind?

    The only young people I see are relatives and people who come to great-grandkids' parties. And the only things I do are buy groceries and go to medical appointments and emergency room. I ran out of one of my meds and it took 4 days to replace it. I'm going to look at the link you provided...

    !0 Years Later and I Miss Him More!

    You must not have children. My oldest daughter stays in touch but she moved to another county a few weeks ago. :( My husband didn't like beaches because he was very fair skinned and been burned badly once. Every time I convinced him to take the kids to a lake, he'd say "We have to leave now,"...

    !0 Years Later and I Miss Him More!

    I'm really sorry. Did she have cancer? My husband did, and I suspected it in January, but he wouldn't go to the doctor and wasn't diagnosed until May. He passed away in September of that year. His three older brothers were already gone.

    !0 Years Later and I Miss Him More!

    My husband spent most of his free time on the computer and conversation was definitely not his thing. But we enjoyed rides in the country. He always loved driving and I enjoyed looking at the scenery. We both liked fast food. I'd say we were down to earth. I used to miss our rides, but I'm fine...
