Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past
In looking through local church cookbooks for great recipes to make, it has been a delight to find names of people who have been a part of my life. Usually it is a female, but in this case it is a man -- WWII vet Dick Beitler of Berne, Indiana. I'll explain. In 2012, I... Continue Reading →
Thanks to all of you who have reached out in response to earlier posts in which I shared thoughts about my grief journey after losing my husband last year. It was a risky step putting such personal stuff out there. I don't feel I have any advice to share so if you’ve not read any... Continue Reading →

Today I’m honoring a World War II Army medic who was born 94 years ago this week. A friend recommended I talk with him a few years ago and am I glad to have done so! What a story! I wrote this for a military publication I write for. It is commitment to his country... Continue Reading →
And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping and said to Peter, “So you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?” (Matthew 26:40) If there had been coffee shops during Jesus Christ’s time, I’m convinced He would have taken one look at Peter’s, James’ and John’s sleepy faces at Gethsemane...
