About Me

I have a lovely wife Arlene, five children, eight grandchildren and, at last count, 14 great-grandchildren. I retired in 2000 and drove a school bus part time for a few years. I guess you can see that kids are important to me. I sure miss those school kids.

Our God Will Help

I have just been reading my granddaughter's blog and she has been having “one of those days”. You know, when you feel down and nothing seems to be going right? Well, I have to tell you, her blog is so inspiring to me that I simply must share. She has published a list of 25 things she doesn't want you to know about her. That takes a lot of guts and I am so proud of her. Her blog is basically a description of her walk with God and she does it so well. I can relate to many of her “-things I don't want you to know about me......”, but I don't think I am brave enough to publish my list, or even put it in writing. She challenges her readers to share something we really would rather not reveal. It is good therapy to share and it could lead to resolution of those problematic areas of our lives..

I am a bit timid about discussions on religion because my faith is so personal and private. I guess that is one of my hangups. So often discussions on religion can become confrontational and I don't like confrontation so I guess that could be number one on my list. I think her list is so inspirational and that her entire blog is so well done that I definitely recommend reading it. It is not a pushy evangelistic blog—just a nice, but honest assessment of her relationship with God.
