What Did You Say? Hearing God
My grandson Jacob will often joke with me when we are kidding around, with “what did you say”. I grew up with a dad who was hard of hearing due to a war injury. My wife has hearing loss. “What did you say” is a comment I have heard often enough. Continue reading What Did You Say? Hearing God

Today, I am looking for the number of the truck that ran over me in the middle of the night! WOW! Brings new meaning to “pain=gain” or some such pithy saying.

My Brother, The Runner – Boston Marathon 2014
My Brother The Runner
Today my brother completed his second marathon. This was the Boston Marathon 2014. I am extremely proud of my little brother David!
His time 5:43:42.
My brother suffered from Viral Myocarditis in 2011. He recovered and was totally healed in a church service in my home fellowship. He subsequently had surgery for a shoulder injury and then a knee that needed healing. He has beat those all. And he decided to run! Continue reading My Brother, The Runner – Boston Marathon 2014
