Life is like a Camera
At our Noble Family Reunion a couple of weeks ago, one of the cousins’ husband, Joe Randle, was our official photographer. He didn’t miss a minute. He was on purpose as he randomly took shots of the children, of family members laughing their hearts out, and many other precious moments. He is making photo albums…
Our Hotline to God
I well remember when the U.S. and the Soviet Union created a hotline between President John Kennedy and Russia’s Premier Nikita Khrushchev. It was in October 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Write it Down
So if you hang around me at all, you’ve probably seen me pull out my small notebook and write something down. I want to remember what I heard someone say or a thought that ran through my mind. And, many times, something I heard will be the inspiration for an upcoming blog. In fact, my…
