Since retiring I don't make as much money as I did. Most people don't, obviously. But during December (and sometimes in November) I have had the joy of being able to leave generous tips to the waitress or waiter at various restaurants. Recently I read about a waitress getting a $1,200 tip! Most of us … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season – for Giving
Christmas Memories
The following I received from one of my brothers: I imagine that most, if not all, of us have some very special Christmas memories. I want to share a few of mine with you. One of my earliest memories is of my bobsled. My father built it himself from 1” galvanized pipe, wood slats, paint, … Continue reading Christmas Memories
Still President
There's a lot of premature celebrating going on among liberals because they wrongly believe Trump has been voted out of office. The twitter-sphere was alive with the likes of Alyssa Milano and others crowing their goodbyes to the President. They are woefully uneducated in Constitutional procedure. Had they been paying attention in their high school … Continue reading Still President
Holding Grudges
The Liberals and Democrats (birds of a feather) got what they wanted. It amounted to nothing less than a kangaroo court. A party-controlled process they called "impeachment" but which is in reality an attempted coup of the American government and an affront on the American People. And it's not over yet. For three years the … Continue reading Holding Grudges
Tale of Two Athletes
During this time of year we often (and should) turn our thoughts to helping and giving. Christmas in America stands for different things to different people, however. In today's society, some are taught that receiving is more important than giving, and indeed some feel they are entitled to do and say whatever they want. So, … Continue reading Tale of Two Athletes
Created Equal
All men – all people -- are created equal - then a few become firefighters. All people are created equal - then a few become cops. All people are created equal - then a few become brothers and sisters. And aunts and uncles. And wives and husbands. And mothers and fathers. And grandma's and grandpa's. … Continue reading Created Equal
Trust the Giver
2 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” 5 So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith … Continue reading Trust the Giver
Happy and Merry
How will you say it this year? "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas"? Saying "Merry Christmas" is as American as apple pie and baseball. Perhaps we should start calling it simply "fruit pie" and "field ball"?? Except there are a lot of games played on fields and a lot of different kinds of fruit pies. But … Continue reading Happy and Merry
Abounding in Hope
A story was sent to me about a man who was imprisoned during Napoleon's reign. While sulking in his dungeon one day, he etched on the wall the words "Nobody Cares". A few weeks later, through a crack in the dungeon floor, a little green shoot sprang forth, reaching toward the tiny ray of sunlight … Continue reading Abounding in Hope
Cause and Effect
The following was sent to me via email by a brother; it's from John Hagee Ministries; it's called "Small Beginnings": We love to celebrate big things! We bestow huge awards on people who perform better than everyone else. Behind every person who reaps the recognition, though, someone else has sown the little things. In 1970, … Continue reading Cause and Effect
