My wife's uncle Larry shed his earth suit this year. We were able to visit him a few weeks before his departure and he was so full of joy.

“You hit me, lady!” was my response to the Jehovah’s Witness who punched me in the arm for disagreeing with her beliefs about God. I was mowing my lawn when she and a young girl approached me. As she quickly launched into her canned presentation I knew what to expect. I had studied a lot... Continue Reading →
My grandkids love to look through binoculars. There is something fun about seeing things far away that were impossible to see before. It's like a superpower!
