When I was young, the Universe seemed much smaller than it does today. There was the Sun, the Moon, and a lot of stars in the nighttime sky that I assumed God had placed there to block the view of the Heavenly home, where He and His Son Jesus lived. I imagined it to be…
Caught between two worlds… or maybe I should say three or even four, and if you count the hereafter it would be five worlds that beckon to me, some more persistent than others, yet each with their own rewards and yes, unfortunately, there are drawbacks to each as well. I decided to leave one of…
Lovable is not a word one would use to describe Chhang … and he was well aware of that. At one time, before the sores started, his looks were a little more tolerable but he never did gain weight in his lifetime, and having AIDS was something he could not hide from others. Too weak…
I haven’t thought about self-fulfilling prophesies for some time now, even though I have had my suspicions that many of the major experiences in my Life could have come about because I thought about them beforehand.

Many of them are now very active in Christianity and some are even pastors of their own congregations. It was a good experience and…
He comes and goes as he pleases and works behind the scenes. Most times we are not even aware of his presence until he is ready to steal another from us. The children may become restless or the dogs bark more than usual in the night… but we choose to ignore these things… for to…
In the North, there are not a lot of travelers or large cities to worry about so it was easy to make good time. Cruising at 100 mph is easy to do in a Thunderbird when you are the only one on the road. Everything was going fine until I hit the upper peninsula of…
General Vandegrift was a feisty old man who at one time could demand as much respect as his Army counterpart and close friend General Eisenhower, They had been boyhood buddies and had decided their roles in history long before anyone even knew their names. When I met him however he was bedridden and blind and…
