“When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more.” (When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder) I don’t know if it was coincidence or my subconscious working, but I picked that song to put in our church bulletin for us to sing this morning. It’s not a song we sing often at our church. In …
Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years. ~Ausonius That sounds like wonderful advice, and advice I must be heeding.

Is there anything cuter than kids with their laps full of puppies? This is a picture from reading friend, Sherri.

Butterflies Sunday. Box turtles today. Seems there is always some kind of critter around to tickle the imagination and invite a new round of photo captions. Thanks to all of you who have played my caption game so far. You put a lot of words into Marley’s doggie head on the first picture last Wednesday and came up with some …
