The Voices of Americans
Tonight is the debate for the nominees for possible Vice President of both parties. It will be another interesting night on primetime. Too bad we’re stuck with Liberal mediators from a Democrat run platform like all of the others were. Not one of these debates have been friendly for the Republican candidates at all. CNN,…

What A Perspective!
So not too long before our Bishop Reunion I got a request. This was a very special request from a young girl. A girl who was about to turn the big Birthday of 10. Our Sunday afternoons at Grandma’s, her Great-Grandma’s has been quite a journey for us. Watching her grow up to this age…

Seeing the Heart of Melania
While resting a little bit before starting dinner I got to catch up on some you tube videos. Last night before I went to bed I caught the breaking news about the New York Mayor very, very interesting with the timing of that indictment. The first video I watched though, was from the interview of…

My Heavenly Gracious Father, I Thank You for those you have put into my family! Looking over the photos of my Bishop family has been a wonderful time consuming labor of love. It’s funny how I can see now as an adult the various family members and how they look so similar to each other…

Loss…
A year ago tomorrow still seems all too vivid. Getting the phone call that said a decision had been made by my Aunt. She was ready to go home… to be with the Lord. After fighting a good fight she stepped back in order to let God do His will. The toll on this decision…

Caesar and Christ
Lately pundits on the Republican and Conservative side keep repeating this statistic. Multiple times on different shows the number 40% of Christians do not vote. Even Trump had the line in his speech at least once if not every ‘Trump Rally’ that is really a shocking rate. Growing up voting in my family and church…

The Timing
As I said yesterday my foot has been giving me some fits. On the whole I have learned how to deal with my foot pain. However, I’m stumped right now. We have had some colder mornings, but they haven’t been lasting very long. Since last Thursday night something has just felt different. I can’t put…
