I hope this blog is an encouragement to my followers and visitors. My desire to encourage others to draw closer to God, or to seek Him for the answers to life's problems, hurts, tragedies, disappointments. He's available 24/7. He loves you.

flowering cholla cactus This may seem like a small thing to many people, but to me, the ability to live in an RV full time, and be able to travel, to see the beauty God has created is a miracle to me. Why do I think it’s a miracle? Because I grew up poor. My mom only had a seventh grade education. My dad had a ninth grade education. Dad had a good job working as a welder in a ship-building…

I don't have any photos on my computer of Germany so this photo is not taken in Germany, but it is part of our family.

When we were in Germany (at that time the wall separating East and West Germany was still in place) on the West side, our infant daughter began crying after I put her to bed. I picked her up and tried everything I could do to comfort her. I rubber her back, her stomach, walked the floor with her, sang to her (that may have made the crying worse lol) but nothing worked. I had no way to get her to…

In this world we are bombarded with advertisements that make us want everything the world has to offer. Lawyers want us to join class action lawsuits so we can “be compensated for all our suffering,” or for “all the money we’ve had to spend on doctors, hospitals, and medications because we’ve been subjected to whatever evil chemical we’ve been exposed to. (Surely it’s not to make the lawyers…

This post is not my usual category so please leave a message. Let me know what you think. I have lots of travel stories I can post. Have a great day!

Well, we drove through the briars, and we drove through the brambles, and we drove through the bushes…well, sort of. We needed to go to Crestview, a city about an hour’s drive away. It’s been a stormy three days or so. I kind of lose count after a while. Anyway, we were somewhere between Libertyville and someplace past that when a red line appeared on the GPS. A sheriff’s car was parked on the…

If you have been abused by anyone, please seek counseling to learn how to deal with it, and escape it. I care. I would really like your input on what you would like to see posted here.

I watch the news and hear about all of the shootings around the country, and I wonder what has happened to people? Have we gone back to the Old West days when everyone carried a gun and the answer to every disagreement was death? What has brought us to this point? Why have we become more and more prone to violence? Is this really the kind of world in which we want our children to grow up? Why…

I would love to hear from you. Do you have any suggestions? Is there a topic you would like to see covered here? Leave a comment or email me. Have a great day!

I was bullied when I was growing up. So were others. It started in elementary school and continued through the rest of my school years. It wasn’t everyone bullying me, just a few, but no one ever tried to stop them. No one ever took my side. No one ever stood up for me. I wasn’t the only kid being bullied. One girl kind of shrunk into herself, turned her head to the side, and stuck her tongue…

If you have any suggestions or comments, please let me know. I'm thinking of changing the theme of this site, so I'm open to suggestions, but it has to be one I can implement for free. I have a very limited budget. Contact me at [email protected]

A believer is someone who believes in God, may believe that Jesus is the Son of God, may even believe that He is God in the flesh, but does not know Jesus as their Saviour. Or they may be saved but not living according to God’s will. A Christian is someone who does their best to live according to God’s standards, principles, and statutes. A Christian loves everyone but will not compromise on…

Please leave a note for me. Let me know if you are being helped by these posts, or if they are confusing, or whatever. If I’m coming on too strong, let me know. I’d love to hear from you.

There are a multitude of reasons why I believe the King James Bible is the only one that is correct since its inception in the 1600’s. It was commissioned by King James I in 1604. Soon after his coronation a conference of churchmen requested that the English Bible be revised because existing translations were “corrupt and not answerable to the truth of the original.” James approved a list of…

There are so many pat answers I could give, and they would all be correct: because Jesus said He laid down His life for the whole world. He paid the sin debt for every person who has ever lived or will ever live. That requires superhuman love. There are many people who would and have died for their country, for the protection of their families, for their ideals. But who among us would be willing…
