Teaching kids to touch type
If there’s one thing I am grateful for from my public school education in the 70s, it’s that I was able to take classes to learn how to touch type. I can still type about 93-102 words per minute (WPM), and believe me, it’s come in handy when writing books, blogging, and writing research papers! (Thanks, Mr. Geesik!) (I can …

In Which Mr. Himself Sings the Blues
Every first Sunday night of the month at our church, we have “Gift Exchange Night” following our monthly Birthday/Anniversary carry-in dinner. This month Mr. Himself — my husband and pastor, Eddie, — shared with us a blues-type song he wrote. I think it’s pretty awesome. But then, I’m partial. Both to the blues and to Mr. Himself. What say you? …
Time with Grandma
I love one on one time with my grandchildren. Usually my granddaughters choose to spend a one on one time day with me for their birthday. (I give them the choice of a gift or the day with me.) They’re pretty smart. They know that one on one time usually includes shopping and food, so they know a bargain when …
How did the month of May get here so fast?
No, I didn’t fall off the face of the earth. My website has been having major problems, and I was having a difficult time getting in touch with my web people. There were (and still are a few) some glitches that made it plain ugly, so I was reluctant to post content that brought people to an unprofessional looking page. …

Humans acting badly
Sometimes, humans really make me ashamed to be one of them. Not that I’m faulting God in His Creation. I know He intended for us to reflect His glory. And when we do, it’s breathtaking. And someday, we will on a consistent basis. But for now? For now, the future of humanity looks dim. Perhaps that why Jesus said, “And …
