Good morning from Aruba

Lord willing, Norma Jean and I are beginning the celebration of our 54th anniversary in the Caribbean on what is billed as ‘the  happy island.”

As we have done for the past 10 years, we’re taking our annual anniversary blogging beak.  It’s a good time for us to refresh, recharge and remember our many blessings.

Hopefully, the WordPress advanced scheduling has worked and you’re receiving this recap of the past week’s posts.  If you’re on facebook, look for some pictures from “The Happy Island.” Continue reading →

Good Morning from Temple Terrace, Florida

We’re enjoying an overnight visit with our daughter Rachél and our grandkids, Roy and Fern.  They live about 80 minutes South of us.  So, it’s close.  But it’s the first opportunity we’ve had to see them since we returned from Canada.  So, they are going to enjoy our goodie bags filled with Maple Syrup, Grape Juice, Dare Maple Cookies, Coffee Crisp candy bars, and more.   Our Canadian friends will understand the value of these gifts.

Today’s post is a recap from the past week, giving you an opportunity to catch up in case you missed one.  I would especially point out two posts that have received a good deal of positive feedback. Tuesday’s, “In Times Like These,“ and Thursday’s post, “Winning Even When You Lose.”  If you missed those, take time to read and think about the application to your life. Continue reading →

Good morning from Port Colborne, Ontario

We’ve enjoyed another very pleasant week here in the Niagara region.  Not only from the cooler temperatures compared to much of the US, but also the wonderful fellowship we’re enjoying with our friends in this area.

Next week I will be teaching the adult class for the Wellandport VBS, as well as preaching the next two Sundays.  So, our last week here will be very busy. But it will be a good kind of busy. Continue reading →

Good morning from Port Colborne, Ontario

Norma Jean and I feel so blessed to be spending July in Canada.  It’s a pleasure reconnecting with the brethren here, sharing the Word each week, and of course, enjoying the cooler temperatures. It was 59 when I woke up yesterday with a high of 75.  Today may reach 80.  But we can handle that.

Tomorrow morning I am preaching for the church at Wellandport at their 11AM service.  And tomorrow night will be speaking to the Jordan congregation @ 5pm.  Jordan has a rich history dating back to the 1800s.  In fact, Alexander Campbell preached at Jordan in 1840. Continue reading →

Good morning from Beverly  Hills, FL

I hope you all are doing well.  We are very blessed.  When asked, “How are you?”  I’m reminded of Dave Ramsey’s usual rejoiner, “Better than I deserve.”  So very true of most of us.  Even with soaring inflation, high gas prices, and social upheaval, we enjoy so many blessings–both material and physical.  But most of all spiritual.
