    Have a happy Mother's Day! I wished my mallard a happy Mother's Day. She's still sitting on her eggs. I thought they would have hatched by now!

    Things that are getting harder to do

    Wow! And we're not thought of much anymore. But I'm not anxious to die.

    What's the weather like where you are? (10)

    Spring is here. No more frosts. Mama mallard is still on her nest near my front porch. She isn't startled by me any more. But it seems like it's time for those eggs to hatch. It takes about 30 days. But I didn't write down the date when I first saw her. My riding mower died. My daughter and I...

    Fed up with modern Christianity and its music

    I'm sorry. Things are not perfect here, are they? My mother had six children. I'm the only one who became a Christian. I was in a cult for several years. Not all my children are Christians. If I were wealthy I could do a lot of good things with the money. But life is what it is. Let us pray...

    That's good. How is your okra doing? My mother wasn't much of a gardener, but she planted spinach once. I was only eight. We had a storm and the hail beat the little seedlings. She only planted radishes after that. But we usually lived in apartments, so no gardening.

    Why is there suffering if God is real?

    Indeed, suffering brings many of us closer to God. JOB 5 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. 9He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. 10He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside. 11The lowly...

    Is it wrong to prioritize grandson over son?

    It's beyond me why you are getting married if you and he make life so complicated that you can't make decisions without online help!

    Why is there suffering if God is real?

    God reveals the path we should take. Some of us believe and rely on Him. Read John 10 (all of it) and Psalm 23. I've been in valleys of depression for long periods of time but the only way out is through God's word. The Psalmist often expressed his struggles. You aren't alone. Ask God to help...

    What can I watch on TV?

    I'm still watching Dr. Phil a lot. They're obviously reruns because he tells us to watch the rest of the show tomorrow and it isn't on tomorrow! :(

    What's the weather like where you are? (10)

    A frost is expected Thursday morning. Warm weather Sunday: 77F. I guess I should put my new plants in the garage before the frost! C-R-A-Z-Y! The mallard must think she came back north too soon.

    What's On Your Mind?

    A mallard made a nest and laid eggs in my front flowerbed! It's about 20" from my small front porch and maybe equal distance from my house! She must have been desparate to choose that location.

    How to keep the faith despite the suffering in your life and others

    The more suffering I see the more I depend on God. I know that He will punish sin and give strength to those who see justice and kindness as a better option. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). The verse instructs us to put all our...

    Getting grumpier in my old age

    I don't judge Luther. I've barely read anything about him. Do you have a problem with my statement? If so, please explain.

    Why is there suffering if God is real?

    I think some of us learn compassion through our suffering and others become bitter. I don't pretend to understand it all. But Jesus also suffered and He died for us. God definitely isn't experimenting because He controls the outcome and knows the future.
