Posted on September 22, 2025 by Pete

Sharers in Christ

Give Me Some Attitude

Posted on September 17, 2024 by Pete

There’s a lot of attitude in my house these days.  Though my grandsons have been living with me now for almost three years, it’s as they get to be 3 and 4 ½ years old that the attitude-o-meter in the … Continue reading →

Soul Preservative (2014 Rerun)

Posted on September 13, 2024 by Pete

My thoughts go back to the days of canning. That time of year when fruits and vegetables were prepared and then packed into glass Mason jars. As I recall it, there were three key components to making sure that was … Continue reading →

Perfected For All Time

Posted on September 11, 2024 by Pete
