There is a risk that often times can happen, that you the reader may not find this blog, at least the first part, as hilarious as I the writer does. I guess it depends on if you can relate. But no matter, here it is! 
There are three main characters in this scene. Ben Krein. Our middle kid. Classic.…
How about them Cowboys? Oh my! I’m not sure what happened, but after 4 quarters Dallas actually had crushed someone! It was a beautiful game! Now, now, settle down! I can feel some of y’all getting annoyed at me! You think football is the biggest waste of time ever! (You have a good arguement.) But hang in there with me.…
I spotted them right away. Two ladies who had aged with grace and class. Sisters, no doubt. One was holding reading material. The other embraced a warm blanket. A name was called and they left the room. In a few minutes another name was called — Roberta Yeagley. That morning we were early so the Chemo Suite was nearly empty.…
Do not fear, I am with you. Gen. 26:24 Do not fear!….The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent. Ex. 14:13,14 The Lord, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Deut. 1:21 Do not be afraid or panic or tremble before them, for the Lord your God is the one Who goes before you…
We have a cat. I don’t like him. We used to be friends, but no more! Not since he turned evil. He used to be an outdoor, indoor cat. He’d politely meow at the door to be let out when nature called. It was a great agreement between Whiskers and I. Somewhere along the way he became a lazy, fat…
Thanksgiving was and is my favorite holiday, but that’s not to say Christmas doesn’t have it’s own traditions and fond memories. From the cozy wood-burning fireplace that left us Webb kids cologned with a smoky scent, to the Christmas tree me and my Daddy would hunt and then cut down, Christmas was wonderful. We would strategically place the inevitable big…
I got to go visit Jake at summer camp where he’s working for the summer. Camp Yorktown Bay is a little piece of heaven on earth! I’ve missed my red-headed man-child! Lucky for me, I got to meet a bunch of new little friends…the Lion’s cabin! These kids were the sweetest! Politest! They’d get me a chair. They’d pour my water.…
A Charlie Brown Christmas tree was a reality to this farm kid. We paraded through the woods until we came upon a young white pine. With luck it would have four or five branches and no more than 4 feet high. Our father constructed a tree stand out of scrap lumber. Mom had a few time-worn balls with most of…
For three years I taught elementary school. That was 1957 to 1960. I never considered myself an ace in the classroom. Maybe I was too harsh a judge. Last week my grandson met one of my students. Now retired, he had received many awards as an elementary school teacher. He said I was his role model. His mother died the…
With all the celebration about our new Springtown sanctuary being built soon, I started thinking about church. Churches. The churches that stick out in my memory. I’m sure you all have warm memories of different churches, too! I encourage you to take some time and reflect on what made those churches special. These are my top three churches! The Monticello…
