Tweet     “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”  John 14:1 (NKJV) An old quote popped into my head early this week and led me to ponder how important our attitudes are when faced with problems and challenges.  I had a roommate decades ago who used to [...]

Tweet   As some of you know, I’m a DIYer…do-it-yourselfer, sometimes to my wife’s chagrin.  Many years ago, after 5 years of marriage, the Lord spoke to me very clearly and said, “I’m going to teach you to build a house.”  Well, I suddenly felt like Noah must have felt, since I had never built [...]

Tweet My name is Janet; and, I’ve known the other authors here for about 3-1/2 years through our participation in an internet forum which supported a presidential candidate.  Despite how that turned out, we have remained friends and kept in touch, sharing many common values and our faith in God.  I’m pleased to have this [...]

Tweet Part I of III   What comes to mind when you hear the word “baseball”? It makes me think of blue skies, sunshine, cheering crowds and lots of excitement in the air. Have you ever thought of all the thousands of little boys who gather with their teams across our country to play little [...]

Tweet As an introduction, let me introduce myself a bit more to help you understand the perspective I bring. By God’s grace, I accepted His invitation into His Kingdom at the age of 8, so my walk is now in its 50th year. What an adventure it has been! The adventure has included a marriage [...]
