I had been searching for my word of the year, but every word I tried seemed off. Each word was perfect, but each seemed contrived; like they were meant for me. I looked at growth, soar, joy, present, love, enjoyment, and a lot more, but none felt right. Can you tell I said that in…
Today we start a new year; it’s a good time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future with hope and anticipation. This is an excellent time to shake the dust from our feet and enter the coming year without baggage from the previous year. As Christians, we can find inspiration and…
Merry Christmas! For Unto Us A Child Is Born. Today is the day that Christians all over the world celebrate the birth of Jesus. There is a lot of controversy about the “day” Jesus was born since it is not mentioned in the Bible. But, it doesn’t matter if this is the “actual” date or…

The landlord owns the property but doesn’t have the right to remove people without good cause. That usually…
I never know when I set down at the computer what I am going to write about. Even if I have an idea in my mind, it will sometimes change as the post evolves. But I have had this subject on my mind for a few weeks, so I guess I will forge ahead. I…
At one time or the other, all of us probably felt at a disadvantage. I’ve felt like that in the past, and I still feel like that in some areas of my life. When it comes to technology, I feel at a disadvantage to my grandchildren. They seem to know way more than I do…
