Small Town America

Did you know that time waits for no  one; not for man ,women, or child?  The only record in history when time ever stood still was when God did it sovereignly. (Joshua 10:13) So to say that  time ‘s a wasting is or can be a true statement. We are all so busy in our society that we can’t afford…

       What is going on in Washington, DC?  Our leaders can’t seem to agree on anything, except that we have a money problem.  People laughed when Donald Trump said he was running for President of the United States.   However, he is an excellent  businessman, and that might be just what we need.       I don’t…

     Facing the big D can be a challenge at best.  First we must decide if that D stands for Dragon or Dentist.  I am probably equally frightened of both.  Although I have never come face to face with a dragon, I imagine it would be quite scary.  I know going to the dentist strikes…

This is a picture of the narrow, one lane road that runs by the Hanny homestead about five miles outside of Fremont, OH.  You can’t get two cars on it at the same time without one going off into the grass.  Also, there are many things to distract you as you drive or walk down…

     We have a white cat named Smudge.  When he was a kitten he was all white with one gray spot on his head.  That smudge has long since vanished, but his name remains.   Smudge is a strange cat but we love him just the same.  He has this thing he does……..he sleeps in the…

     A few weeks ago I had a book signing in a small community nearby.  The establishment was called Beeker’s General Store.  When I walked in the front door, it was like going back in time.  I mean like 50 years ago, maybe even more.     There was one wide aisle through the store with…

     Dandelions  and violets are considered by most to be the enemies of our perfectly landscaped lawns.  In many other countries people don’t even have lawns with lush grass growing.  They may have rocks or sand, concrete slabs or just plain dirt outside their homes.      I’m a big believer in, “Everything is beautiful in…

     Is it possible to get too close to your pet?  My favorite cat, Puff Ball, was the most loving animal I have ever known.  He had beautiful long white fur and his eyes were two different colors, one blue, one yellow.  He would sit on my lap for hours in the evening.  When I went to…

    As our nation and world seem to be racing out of control, it takes courage to even get out of bed every morning.  We all have our own challenges and trials to face  each day.  We each have family issues or financial situations to deal with.  Our economy is ever changeing and the political scene…
