1960's popular! It’s been quite awhile since I last posted. I’ve been so busy with a Bible Study online that just ended last week. We studied the parables of Jesus, and there were many insights into how we have “dressed them up” for us - and in doing so, have often neglected what Jesus really meant by them. Great time with great friends!!! We will be delving into King David in the fall, a chosen man of God who led such a beautiful yet often times sinful life. If anyone r

I’m not a singer, instrument player, music composer, or record producer. But music has spoken - and will always will - speak to my soul. I believe it transforms our daily lives here on earth as well as prepares us for the eternity to come. I like all kinds of music from classical to traditional country, the oldies but goodies as well as the new streaming.

I got a call last week from a dear friend that one of our mutual friends from the Whitehall Yearling Class of 1970 had died, following a devastating stroke.

I hope it brings a smile to you as the busy day(s) wind down 😊 When Dan and I were married, we were continually active in Southeast Christian Church in Columbus. Married there twice (gulp), I was still a deacone

Sometimes my blogs are about me…but more often they are about other people (who, incidentally, I find much more fascinating than myself). Folks from my past…folks who have had a profound influence on my life. I call these the “Unforgettables”… and I certainly haven’t forgotten them. Helen is one such Unforgettable, and I am finally putting her story to print…maybe not in the book as I had promised her so long ago, but here today for my friends and family to still read her ama

Hello friends, family, soon-to-be friends, and maybe even soon-to-be-family (one never knows)! Welcome to my website and accompanying blog. I hope these posts will bring some insights into my life and the world around me, as I am certainly in the autumn of my life (and fast transitioning to the winter I'm thinking), and I realized I have a lot to share. Hopefully, they might bring even a little bit of joy into your lives as well, if only in a very small way - especially w
