Off to bridge soon but thought I would post before breakfast! As I read a devotional this morning it indicated that this was the birthday of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 – 1882) – the writer of ”A Psalm of Life” - my favourite poem since Dad’s death. He was from Portland, Maine. Tell me not, [...]

Here’s the link: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/familyconfidential/pages/s3385641.htm. There was no will. The family was thrown into confusion. Interesting that the [...]

Just reading my devotionals and could not resist passing this message on to those of you who are feeling alone or lonely or disheartened today. ‘… your guardian angel is always by your side…’ ‘Throughout this day you will not be alone.’ I decided long ago that my auto biography will be called “Protected by [...]

Just off for my walk by the sea. The negative ions which float into one’s brain are a great release from the tensions of the day. Bible study today was about the ten commandments given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai and here they are in case some of us have forgotten them. [...]

I saw him live in Sydney with [...]
