Originally posted on VOICE OF THE PERSECUTED:
Black Christian News shares that in an exclusive interview, the Rev. Billy Graham tells Newsmax that President Obama’s “hope and change” mantra is nothing more than a cliché and warns that the nation faces increasing threats to civil and religious liberties from its government. Graham, who is preparing…

Ode to Old School
Sitting with my pen and notebook in the dentist’s waiting room. Everyone stares at their dumb phones. I tell the paper what to say. Their screen tells them what to think. Related articles Ode to my leather bound friend (keytobeingtwenty.wordpress.com)
Is that somebody that I used to know? Thoughts from my High School Reunion
Who is that guy over there? Was he in our class, or is it somebody’s spouse? He looks vaguely familiar, let me think…. Last Saturday night I attended my 35th High School Reunion. It was my first! I never went to a reunion before. I had moved out of the area, worked, met other people … More Is that somebody that I used to know? Thoughts from my High School Reunion
Charles was a strange kid, and we really didn’t understand why
We had one strange kid in class in fifth grade and his name was Charles; not Charlie, or Chuck or Chad. No nickname. No intimacy. He smelled a little funny, like he didn’t bathe very often. He didn’t really have any friends, but didn’t seem to know any better either. He read very slowly. Although … More Charles was a strange kid, and we really didn’t understand why
Bailey’s Saratoga Battlefield Adventure
Bailey had a big day today walking the trails at the Battlefield park. Here he is next to one of the cannons used during the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. When we first started out this morning, we really had a tough time coaxing Bailey to get into the car. I guess he was afraid … More Bailey’s Saratoga Battlefield Adventure
My top ten worst dates: #2
“..And pull a comb thru your coal black hair…” I met him online during the Great Dating Dry Spell of 1998. He had sent me a pic. He had coal black hair and his skin, the color of mocha. Nice. We chatted online and agreed to meet at a local restaurant. He said that after … More My top ten worst dates: #2
My top ten worst dates, starting with #1
“A Quick Cup of Coffee” It was during the Great Dating Dry Spell of 1998. I had lost some weight, and other than the trainer at the gym who was twice my age and half my height, I was unable to meet anyone who wasn’t already married. I decided to try the Phone Dating Line. … More My top ten worst dates, starting with #1
Why am I still obsessed with Anne Frank?
Last week, I posted about a movie I had seen which chronicles what happened to Anne Frank before and after she and her family were discovered hiding in the attic. This is the best movie that chronicles her life (that I have seen anyway), and it is called Anne Frank – The Whole Story (2001). … More Why am I still obsessed with Anne Frank?
“I cling to hope in Christ. At the same time, I find myself asking what God is trying to tell me.”
The above quotation was a response from a fellow blogger, Tony Roberts.I wish I could take credit for it…because it expresses the way I feel on just about every day of my life. Also known as IndyTony, he has been following the Lord’s leading to publish his memoirs while dealing with Bipolar. I myself, have … More “I cling to hope in Christ. At the same time, I find myself asking what God is trying to tell me.”
In Search of Moose Tracks
On Wednesday night we decided to get the REAL Moose Tracks: the one that had melted down my shirt and onto my shoes last year. We drove to the Ice Cream stand, only to discover that the line of people looked to be waiting for a Disney ride. There were 80 people on line for ice … More In Search of Moose Tracks
Just call me Peg Bundy
We moved the couches off the floor in the family room, moved the fridge, and moved the kitchen table and chairs so we could have the guy come over and “re-do” the hardwood floors. Oh, and the TV is set up in the garage now. That’s where I watched Person of Interest the other night, … More Just call me Peg Bundy
Will I reach 100?
I have been blogging for 2 years now. It started out as an anonymous place to ‘vent’ –but it’s evolved. Sometimes I just write about common stuff, like my dog, and setting off the smoke alarm every time I cook. Many times, my blog talks about my faith in Jesus, and how I am able … More Will I reach 100?
Now that I’ve found NOOK – What am I gonna do..with it?
I decided to try to live in this century, and bought myself a NOOK. I am cheap (thrifty) by nature, so I went for the inexpensive “Nook Touch.” I went to a class last night at the local library, to learn how to download books from the library. It’s the modern equivalent to borrowing a … More Now that I’ve found NOOK – What am I gonna do..with it?
