Thank you for your many expressions of love to Janet as she crossed off another year of life and launched into the next. I have read through the many cards and listened to her tell of this and that which you did and said that blessed her (and now me). She is very, very loved and for... Continue Reading →
Jettie reminded me earlier today that it was 40 years ago today at sundown on Halloween that a founding member of the church that I pastored in Wyoming was arrested being accused of abusing women in medical exams. He was a medical doctor. Eventually a female police detective came from Casper and told a large group... Continue Reading →
An interesting day was today. I was told about a young girl spreading her wings as an early teen against her parent’s knowledge until just recently caught. It is a devastating situation. I was told of a family turmoil that has members both angry and confused. I was told of a serious accident of a third... Continue Reading →

Things like the beautiful sky of blue or puffy fluffy clouds or a great yellow ball passing overhead. And things like the array of... Continue Reading →
It was August 12, 1993 that Janet and I with the five kids drove into Huron exploring where God might use us in the next phase of life. A Christian high school was very high on the list as Jettie was to be senior and it was our desire that she have a group senior experience... Continue Reading →
Friday, July 21, Janet and I left Gretna at 3:30 AM to arrive in Valparaiso, Indiana at 12:30 (1150 total miles) to celebrate a wedding made 50 years earlier – a wedding of two college friends whom we hobnobbed with a couple of years before their wedding. They were great friends then and have been and... Continue Reading →
