I took you some flowers today; Only you weren’t there. I knew you wouldn’t be, But I took them in your memory. It’s been twenty-five years Since you were welcomed in Heaven.

Standing Rock, Where I Left Part of My Heart
There is a place and a People tucked in a special place in my heart. They are there as strongly as when I was there with them.

I first met these people when we went on a mission trip … Continue reading Standing Rock, Where I Left Part of My Heart

Uncertain Times; Best Opportunities For Faith
The end of last week was been like a blur. I just recently had several heart tests done. I had been having some “twinges” in my chest around where my heart is, so my doctor referred me to a cardiologist. First, I took the dreaded tread mill stress test. I did pretty well on that, … Continue reading Uncertain Times; Best Opportunities For Faith
