In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar – when Pontius Pilate – was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene – during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of…

     Five things I detest. Some of you might raise your eyebrows on one or more of these, but I do detest them with little or no apology. Dripping faucets Driving the speed limit or just below it in the fast lane Liberal/Progressive/Democrat philosophy/politics Copy-editing errors (my own and others') Compromising the Gospel   Father,…

     Extremely well done. This is the tear-jerking scene for us romantics that allowed Ziva David to stay in her homeland (Israel) and for Cote de Pablo to leave NCIS. Will Special Agent Tony DiNozzo's departure involve the unconfessed love of his life? Hopefully.   Father, emotion is a gift. Thank you for it.…

            Here's the bad news: Michael Weatherly will be leaving the hit show NCIS at the end of the 2016 season. When a series goes as long as this one has (13 seasons), the actors start to thin out. Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo will be greatly missed.   Father, thank you for the talent…

As always, The Club presents a multi-character murder mystery for Anna Denning as she joins the police force as a consultant. It does seem as though murder tends to follow her around and with the help of…

After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking…

  I wish you the Love of Jesus in 2016.

  2015 is exiting. Some will celebrate, some will mourn, some will address it as just another day. Some will sing this old tune. Others will drink liquid spirits into 2016. As the saying goes, "Time waits for no man." Whatever 2016 brings you, there is one thing that will never change. The God of…

  Just nice. Would prefer stainless steel fridge to go with range. Airy with a beautiful view. Probably a lot more cabinets/drawers out of view. Like it.   Lord, it's always a pleasure to see creative designs. Your beauty expressed in so many ways. Again, thank you for it all. In the Name of Jesus,…
