Just as the graduation, commencement, commissioning ceremonies stress in speeches, advice, and directives, like pretty much everything else, the Bible has the best takeaway truth.
“Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. Wisdom is a tree of life to those…..
Today we honor those who served our nation in war and peacetime in the armed services, and especially those whose sacrifice included injury and death for the cause of our liberty. We also remember their families, who through their loved ones’ deployments and absences had to continue their family lives missing, and no doubt concerned about the welfare of their servicemembers.
I wrote a book…..
We watched a film last night on Newsmax. It is available on YouTube. It is called Faith Under Siege. It is about Ukrainian Christians, about the Russian Orthodox Church’s obedience to Russia, Tucker Carlson’s incorrect assumptions, and the strengthening of the Christian message in occupied sections of Ukraine.

What an amazing world we’ve seen from…..

Today is another in my life’s epic days! After months of “gestation,” the “new baby” is born! That’s the thrill I get to experience when a new book is “born,” and the final product is in my writers’ hands. This one, the fourth anthology published by my You Are Unique writing group at Glenbrooke, is written, organized, typed, edited, proofread, sent to KDP for printing, shipped, delivered, and now is ready for each reader to enjoy the fruits of our…..
