Thinking today of my mom and dad who loved me unconditionally and helped me accept the love of God for me because of their love. The picture is of me and my dad together sitting in the window of the hospital where mom was ill. This was on their 50th wedding anniversary in 1991. Mom … Continue reading My Mom and Dad

It’s raining
Awoke this morning to the sound of the rain on the roof and thanked God. What a beautiful sound with the thunder rolling and a hard falling rain. Our area really needed it. It is now calm between storms. Sometimes life is like that. Really hard drenching storms and then finally the calm, cool time … Continue reading It’s raining
Changes
My elder son called last night to tell me his and his family are moving out of state. He has accepted a job offer that is a promotion and so is moving. And here I thought they were settled just 4 hours away by car. I liked that idea even though these past few years … Continue reading Changes
Hugs
I just read that the sense of touch is the first one developed by the baby in the womb. Makes sense to me. The need for touch is basic to every human. Just a hand on the shoulder or pat on the back can be encouraging to us. Those of us who have lost a … Continue reading Hugs
Fulfillment
I was reminded this morning by Pastor Bill that many times we are looking for God to meet our temporal needs and can get really despondent when instead he moves to meet our deeper heart needs that are eternal. (see Mark 2:1-12) Physical healing is not our greatest need but rather spiritual health. Forgiveness...what a beautiful concept. … Continue reading Fulfillment
Uneventful
I guess my life to some would be considered uneventful. No drama going on. No hate anywhere. Just a whole bunch of sweet family and friends who love me (why?) and most love Jesus. I am, though sorrowful at times due to loss of my honey (loss here not hereafter) and the aloneness (I refuse … Continue reading Uneventful
just thoughts
The lawyer has the paperwork signed and has sent it to the proper authorities to close, disband, cause to cease to exist, the Franklin Biles Evangelism Association (DBA "Anchor Ministries") which we established in 1978. I was told to disburse the remaining funds (which must go to a 501C organization). I sent the remaining funds to Andy's … Continue reading just thoughts
Heading Picture
The picture at the top of my blog was taken by me at the Dan Nature Preserve in Israel. This is one of the three headwaters or sources for the river Jordan north of the Sea of Galilee. We went to all three, but this was the most beautiful. Because Jesus is the "river of … Continue reading Heading Picture
Father’s Day
Frank is the best father our sons could have ever had. He was an oak of integrity and love. He was there for them all the time. He cared about the little things, as Dan told our pastor before the funeral: "If he had a meeting at church and I had a game, he would … Continue reading Father’s Day
Enjoying Bible School
I haven't been involved with Vacation Bible School in over 20 years, yet volunteered when I heard they needed teachers this year at my church. I am really enjoying Bible study with 3rd grade kids. So much joy in sharing the love of God and the provision He has made for us for daily living … Continue reading Enjoying Bible School
