By faith I chose to believe God’s word.  From Genesis 1: 1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”  To Revelation 22: 20, “surely I am coming quickly.”  And all in between:  Psalm 117: 2, “…and the truth of the LORD endures forever.”; John 1: 1,...

A Soldier’s Prayer, by Col. Lewis Millet (Metal of Honor - Korea, Feb. 7th, 1951) in Honor of our Veterans.

“I have fought when others feared to serve.  I have gone where others failed to go.  I’ve lost friends in war and strife, who valued duty more than love of life.  I have shared the comradeship of...

“When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my place was ready, In Heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.  But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home, for God...

I invited (proposed) Becky to marry me over 39 years ago - she said, “yes.”   We both had just turned 19 years of age when we got married.   Our vows before God and witnesses were, “for richer or for poorer.  In sickness or in health.  For better or for worse - till death do we part.”

“Homecoming” - are you ready?!

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
