Living in the Light of Eternity
Eternity is on my mind a lot these days as my sis-in-law, and I talk about mom’s upcoming 100th birthday — if she makes it to it! There won’t be a big celebration. Karen, with her 24/7 care of mom has her hands full already, so there won’t be a flurry of activity surrounding the…
I Can’t Help Myself
I’ll admit it. I like being as close to the front row as possible at church. I don’t want to be distracted by those in front of me. I like being the lead car instead of a following car when traveling with family or friends. I like being at the head of the food line.…
