I love my God! How great! How glorious! How good! How grand! What an Awe-Full God! I love my Jesus! What a friend I have in Jesus! I love the Spirit! The Spirit introduced me to Jesus then baptized me into Jesus and sealed me for time and eternity and moved permanently into me where He comforts, teaches, directs, reminds and strengths...

Psalm 91
This past Sunday at Standing Stone Bible, Pastor Ken W. ended his message in Psalm 91. A summary of his message is: The text from Joshua 9 took us from that gathering group in verses 1 and 2, hidden from Israel’s view to the idea that there are hidden dangers in the world. There is a... Continue Reading →
“Trick or Treat”
I hate death! I hate it! It stalks me! It stalks all of us our entire life. It is an enemy! Yet, it is used by God to check evil (a reason I don't drive 100 on Highway 6) and to make me realize I’m not ruling the world - not even mine! Death is allowed but... Continue Reading →
Dad Quotes
Some sayings from Dad’s stay September 21-25, 2019: When helping him unload his luggage: “The large one has my money.” “I might put on a new shirt tomorrow.” He said that his “eyes run and nose waters”. “There goes the school bus!

Automobiles
A few months back Ford Motor Company announced that it will soon cease production of all cars except the Mustang and focus on selling SUVs and pickups. That was a shock to me. No cars? I wonder if other manufactures will do the same? When in D.C. a few weeks back, I made an effort on a few... Continue Reading →

D.C. – the House Chamber

There were about 150 of us counting spouses and some church staff – like Jettie. At one of our table times there was a pastor, his wife, and their children’s ministry person. The conference was free... Continue Reading →
D.C. People
Overall we found the D.C. people very friendly. I will tell you about a few personal encounters but first there are the hurried masses seeking to be fulfilled much as we find in Omaha. From 8:00 to 9:00 the subways spew forth bodies all rushing to their current perch in life. At least half have their face downward... Continue Reading →
D.C. IV – Sites
Late Friday afternoon, Sept. 6, we visited the National Portrait Gallery. We went through the “Experience America” area then upstairs to go through the “America’s Presidents” section. Both had great paintings and were informative. As we were leaving, a “Jetties” popped up on Jettie’s phone map. We asked three employees near the exit if there was such... Continue Reading →
