HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2012

December 31st, 2011

Earlier today I told someone that I was going to watch the ball drop in Time Square and then I was going to bed even though it would not be 2012 in Louisiana.  I was sitting here at the computer this evening and realized that I could not watch the ball drop for I do [...]

Nearing Home by Billy Graham

December 20th, 2011

Nearing Home by Billy Graham is well written, is inspirational, and offers many good suggestions for those of us that are aging and therefore nearing home.  The book has abundant scripture references for almost every suggestion that he gives to make aging easier and more rewarding.  He also shares stories from his past to illustrate [...]

My “Adopted” Family
