My Blue Zone Journey

My life had fallen apart. No longer was I a missionary, but I was no longer married either. I also had lost my house and my career in chemistry and was rebuilding. Now, I was teaching science in a High School. I was working 12 hours a day, trying to catch up and never making... Continue Reading →

The Blue Zone

“What is this thing you have about the color blue?” you might ask. “I’m innocent,” I cry. The blue for the flag on the beach had to be deliberate, to avoid the colors of the warning flags. The blue zone was more accidental I found out as I read this airplane magazine. People were using... Continue Reading →

Blue Flag Churches

When we returned to the middle of Tennessee in the middle of the U.S., we missed staying on the beach in Portugal. Walking on the beach walk each day, removing our shoes and walking through the surf, and enjoying a place where many people got out and walked were wonderful. We wanted more, but this...

I Am So Out of Touch!

I received the invitation for my youngest grandson's birthday party for this Sunday. I believe Jadon will be ten years old, but with 15 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, I simply cannot remember when some of them were born.  I sent his mother a text to see what he likes, so that I can buy him...

Knowing Who To Trust: Psalm Wednesday

Troubles are as sure to come as morning follows night. In the psalm today, Psalm 62, King David reminds his soul and his people to wait patiently for God in the midst of the betrayal of his son, Absalom, who had seized  his father's throne and had David running for his life. This is a... Continue Reading →
