Gary Bauers of American Values wrote: During a sermon in 1926, Reverend James Allan Francis summarized the profound impact of the life of Jesus Christ.

A Multitude of the Heavenly Host
10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You … Continue reading A Multitude of the Heavenly Host
Knowing The Father
The other day my oldest grandson's wife - who is expecting (any day now) - was trying to show her mother how the baby wiggled and kicked. But their little girl was either asleep or just not in the mood to wiggle or kick. 🙂 So, she called Daddy over (my grandson) and he put … Continue reading Knowing The Father
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

But it’s … Continue reading I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Bubble Lights
Christmas on the farm always arrived in great anticipation for me and my brothers. I don't think any of us realized until we moved away from the farm just how dirt poor we really were!

A New Understanding
According to the liberal media, the left, the socialists, the communists, Antifa, BLM global network, and a dozen other entities who are "woke" to the new order of things, I have apologies to make. I'm sorry I'm white, old, Christian, republican, conservative, and privileged (even though I had a job since I was 15 until … Continue reading A New Understanding
It’s Up To God
Gary Bauer of American Values reported in his End of Day Report they are reviewing a disturbing document that was delivered to the Biden transition team. The document, endorsed by three House progressives, smears religious conservatives as "conspiracy theorists" and "white nationalists," and calls for an all-out assault on religious liberty at every level of … Continue reading It’s Up To God
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
