Please read to the end, or at least scan through to the end. I added some good stuff there that you don’t want to miss. It’s more good stuff about Blogging. Just because we’re among family here on WordPress doesn’t mean that “others” never see what we write. Others seeing it is part of the […]

For several months I’ve been morphing into a night owl. I’m actually a morning person, but I slowly began staying up later and later as the clock hands keep marching on toward a new day. This has to stop because I can’t stay asleep in the morning and I also can’t function on 6 hours […]

Yesterday I read a devotional about Sacrifice from the old classic Daily Thoughts […]
