Creation Days 2021: Session #3
The pastors took Bill to lunch yesterday in Gretna and upon exiting the eatery, there sat a Lamborghini - wide, low, almost sinister with four big pipes out the rear - WOW! My mind went through the other eaters inside wondering who was the owner. But what really caught my attention was the license plate - TRMP WON. I... Continue Reading →
Creation Days 2021: Session #2
Monday night’s Creation Days session used trains as a teaching tool (PK – "And why not?"). He noted that many don’t talk about trains any longer to which I rose in protest: “Not at SSB - trains are a big deal here!” - at least in my mind! Bill told about the race to build a ribbon...

Friday, August 6 Hiroshima, Japan, experienced a most horrible day on August 6th, that led to the end of the war with Japan that had already cost thousands of lives on both sides and promised masses to be yet killed, except for that day and the 9th (Nagasaki) which suddenly brought Japan to surrender.

Exodus 34
ome points from the message brought by Pastor Tim at SSB on July 25, 2021 with some additional thoughts of my own. Exodus 34:5-9, Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy... Continue Reading →
Armada
On July 29, 1588, the Spanish Armada was defeated. And you say, “So what?” Actually, it was a very big deal then and it is a big deal yet today. You guessed it - I'm going to tell you why - at least in part. The story needs to go back centuries - actually it could... Continue Reading →
