Recently, I recalled the experiences of teaching each of my three grown daughters how to drive. They all did well in the learning process and are accomplished drivers today. However, at the time, I was not accustomed to giving control of the car to a “would be” driver and most likely had a few internal […]
Columbus Day is here again. For most of us, it is typically a blip on the radar screen called our calendars. Honestly, will you give much thought to Christopher and the three ships he sailed – the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria? My guess is you will be inundated with Columbus Day sales […]

Authors Note: I am participating in the Open Letter Challenge writing contest organized by Josh Irby. The following letter is my response to An Open Letter to You from the Rest of the World.

This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” … And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!
Romans 8: 15-17 (Message Version)
I came across this powerful video via Josh Irby’s website. Josh currently lives in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina and is the author of Meeting Miss Irby. We recently connected and have corresponded a few times. A picture is worth more than a thousand words!
…You will always harvest what you plant….let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time you will reap a harvest of blessing if you don’t give up. Therefore, whenever you have the opportunity, you should do good to everyone! (Galatians 6:7-10)
My hope is you will be blessed by what you see and in doing so, it will be a visible example of the power of a seed sown!
How can you look for the opportunity to do good to someone today?
Have you ever had one of those days right from the outset where you knew it was going to be unusual one? I had one of those days recently. We were in Richmond to lend support to Jackie’s sister, Buttons, who had major surgery earlier this week. We stayed at a hotel a short distance […]
It was a cool Saturday morning, with the temperatures hovering around the 50° mark. The sky was overcast and the slight wind made it feel a bit cooler.

Note: This is a re-post of a previous entry. Lately, I have come across more situations in people’s lives that led me to want to offer this encouragement. I live in north central Pennsylvania, in a community nestled along the west branch of the Susquehanna River. Dairy and tobacco farms, many of them owned by […]
