Angel

I believe God’s got interactive helpers. There’s been numerous times when I felt that I have an angel looking out for me. Three stand out. I was with my two young friends, Stanley and Butch. We were “swimming” in Lake Allatoona. My swim skills were limited to getting wet, so we were standing neck deep… Continue reading Angel

Growing Up

I was born in the same year that the original sci-fi movie, “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” was released.

I take it to mean we don’t need to worry about their soul. God has them covered. <<<<<<>>>>>> When I was a child I thought… Continue reading Perfect

God

God wants a personal relationship with each one of us.  Private and personal because we each have a unique mind and spirit. But we have the potential to be of the same heart. He created each one of us with a purpose. We learn what that purpose is, usually over some time period. And that… Continue reading God

Memories

Memories are made up of what we don’t forget! That’s a basic simple truth. And if your past the age of twelve you understand what I mean.  Love begets love… another basic simple truth. The best thing about growing up is the fond memories. The worse thing is the arthritis. One of my favorite memories… Continue reading Memories
