• Social Media Buzz

  There are so many topics this week that have been buzzing. My number 1 would be the outlandish remarks of hopefully ex-Presidents of some Ivy League Schools. The arrogance of all three women… absolutely vile themselves. Here we are in 2023 these Universities have women Presidents that in itself is a modern advancement and honor…

• A Day To Remember

  Exactly 82 years ago America was attacked by the Japanese. Very few people alive today remember that day. Grandma Betty told me she was in her home, the kitchen and she remembered how cold it was that day here in Indiana. She heard about it first over the radio that day. Of course I never…

• Christmas Tunes By Kids & Teachers

  Today is the first time in too many years since I watched my niece in a School Program. It’s been at least 3 years. Work was the excuse last year, but lack of coordination and communication around the supposed parents is to blame otherwise. I am trying to be nice about it too. This was…

• Star Of Wonder

  Egypt is a special place for God, Adonai. Ms. Hunt again has done her research and 3 times Egypt came to Israel’s rescue in Bible Times. Of course this third time was centuries after Moses happened to the royal family and the Red Sea miracle. All of those events were long gone and written into…

• Day #5

  The topic today is the Temple. The angle she mentioned from a woman needing to purify herself by paying for the offering of 2 turtledoves and pigeons. Childbirth was different in many ways and simpler compared to the hospital settings nowadays. Oral history was a tradition for the Jews and the verse in Genesis 3:15…

• Do you have a favorite place you have visited?-Writing Prompt

  Growing up we went on lots of neat trips together. Even as the whole Alsman Family we went to Missouri and stayed at Sikeston, St. Louis, and visited Cape Girardeau. Those were cherished family moments over the years. Then as I became a teenager my brothers and I went on a trip with Grandma and…

• Time & Christmas

  Although I am no longer that young naive girl so excited to get presents on Christmas; I love making a Christmas atmosphere. The anticipation is most of the fun of Christmas. I don’t expect much in that way as much as I do the looks on everyone else’s looks from the stocking stuffers I am…

• Are Christmas Cards Irrelevant?

  Last year I wrote letters to my Sunday School teachers and the other couple in the class. Since at that point that’s what our class was for most of the time. Not long afterwards a floodgate arose and several came into the class closer to Christmas. People don’t give cards out like they used to.…

  Tonight is the debut of “The Biltmore Christmas.” For weeks this show has been on commercials for the Christmas Hallmark season.
