On Friday, I came across an infomercial made by Teddy Daniels. He spoke of an “official” but restricted document, revealing the next level of modern warfare. Being developed by China and North Korea, it would knock out all of America’s power grids, rendering everything electronic completely useless. At best, this information is unsettling and unnerving.

I wrote about Sammy’s waiting on me as I make stop-and-go exits from the house to the car. You can read about it on Day Nine of Doggie Devotionals. Ever since I wrote about his waiting, I have grown more aware of the quality of his waiting. I play Rummikub four afternoons a week. Sammy […]

Every morning. . . every evening. . . it’s happening. In our churches . . . in our schools . . . in our homes . . . it’s happening. I’ve said it before in this blog; and I’m sure that I will say it again. But, now, again I write it. CHANGE! The Lenten […]

As I posted five days ago, the second week of February had been very busy for me. My post of 2-15 ended with the item: “submitting a devotional to Cascade Christian Writers’ Contest.” Finally, two hours before the deadline, I submitted “The Ultimate Mirror Ball.” (After the judging period, I will post it here.) As […]

Best Foods Mayonnaise, known as Hellman’s east of the Rockies, has been one of the very few brands that I have loyally purchased throughout my adult life. No other brands that I have tried match the standards of taste and texture that Best Foods have maintained since 1913–one hundred and thirteen years! However, the last […]

Our short but pleasant visit drew to a close. “Before you go,” she said, “I have to get something off my mind.” Nancy, my friend and my great-niece-in-law, shifted on the plush, white sofa. “It’s been buzzing around in my head, and I have to get it out.” “Oh, my,” I thought. “What did I […]

On a perfectly beautiful autumn day, I visited a dear friend in Salem. Shirley had been a pastor’s wife at Hinson Baptist Church and, in the early 2000’s, the founder of a women’s group modeled on the Red Hat phenomenon. She introduced me to the Passion Translation by presenting me with its New Testament and […]

New Year’s Day in northeast Portland began with rain. The eighth day of Christmas, Thursday, January first, was a holiday for most. Yet, many had jobs that demanded their presence. One of those who had to work even on the holiday was Jeffrey, a former student of 40 years ago and my “computer guru.” For […]

For 48 weeks, I faithfully posted on this website. Then for a couple of weeks I was without a computer; and by the time it was replaced, the busiest time of the year had begun. So, I took a hiatus from weekly posting. Now with this, the 49th post, I shall try to return to […]

On the busiest weekend that I’ve had in many months, I share with you one of my favorite doggie devotionals, especially when accompanied by the photo. Only by looking up will I be able to make it through the next few days with calm and grace. May the same be true for you as well. […]
