One of the neatest things about the shores of Lake Erie is that there are many places where one can climb up on a big rock and just think or pray.  There are lots of these huge rocks near the Marblehead Lighthouse.  I could sit there for hours and commune with God.  The splashing of…

These seagulls look as if they are all lined up to see a concert or watch a play.  I don’t particularly like these birds, but they are fun to watch.  They like to poop all over the place, including on anyone nearby .  They make lots of noise and swoop down at you if you have…

Lake Erie is one lake that is known for fast developing storms.   It may be smooth and clear when you leave port, but in a few hours you might be dealing with 10 foot waves.  Isn’t that just like our lives?  We are sailing along, having a ball, and suddenly there is a huge wave…

A friend of mine once told me, “Life is what happens while we’re busy making plans”.   That is so true.  We spend much of our time planning what we will do next, instead of what we are doing right now.  We plan to go to school.  We plan to get married and have a family. …

One of the most beautiful places on our Lake Erie shore line is the Marblehead Lighthouse.  Not only is it a lovely spot to picnic and watch the boats come and go, but also quite a tourist attraction.  People can actually climb the stairs up into the lighthouse and view the lake from there.  You…

As we travel around the rural area where I live, there are hundreds of barns to see.  Some are top of the line; huge, with fresh paint and a new roof.  Others look like they have been neglected for years.  If you had a barn, what would it look like?  Is it large, with many…

     What is it with all the licenses we need to have in order to live our lives?  How many do you have?  Do you have all the important ones?  Who decides what is important enough to need a license?      Most of us have a driver’s license.  It is readily accepted as a form…

     I recently read an article in our local newspaper that told of a new blood test that women can get to determine the gender of their baby before it is born.  The test can be done as early as seven weeks and is surprisingly accurate.      Although this test is not readily available in…

     Proverbs 18:21 tells us that “…..The power of death and life is in the tongue.”  And James  tells us that “…..The tongue no man can tame.”  Those are pretty strong words.   I think sometimes we don’t realize what power our words have.      It’s funny how we remember things that are said to us. …

     In 1967-68 I attended God’s Bible School and College.  This school is still going strong in 2011.  They have added new buildings and new people, but their religious stance remains the same.   It has been over 40 years and yet I remember my experiences at GBSC as some of the richest in my life.…
