One of my favorite aspects of the Christmas celebration is the Christmas Tree itself.  It’s the main decoration of our house.

Isaiah 40:31 – “Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” How many of you use GOOGLE as your preferred search engine?  I think the majority of people do.  I read there […]

I love the TOY STORY movies!  Don’t you?! The animation is great. So is the cast! I mean with actors like Tim Allen and Tom Hanks you can’t go wrong. The writing is wonderful—I love all the jokes that only adults will get! But the thing that really moves me about these films—is the way […]

Sue and I used to watch a show on HGTV called “Rick’s Restorations.” Are there any “Rick fans” present?
