• Taste and See

    The following is a little story taken from a sermon William Branham preached in 1953 called “Show Us the Father and It’ll Satisfy Us” People who are taught that there is no such a thing as the Holy Spirit, don’t know what they’re talking about. Like that boy once peeling an apple, and was asked by an infidel, debating a meeting. He said, “What do you want, what do you want up here?” He said, “I want to ask you a question.” While he was eating the apple and enjoying it, a very simple, sort of, looked like a delinquent person with the hair hanging in his face, and one…

  • The Week in Review – 7/11/10

    Monsoons are starting to hit Arizona.  I hear some thunder occasionally, the sky is overcast and there’s a cool breeze gently wafting over me as I type this post.  It’s lovely.  It has been quite hot here but not near as scorching as in Phoenix.  Just this past Friday, Phoenix was 117° but thankfully we don’t live in Phoenix.  We were actually 50° cooler than Phoenix where we live. We left our home Friday just when things were finally starting to cool down because of the monsoons, descended the mountain into Phoenix arriving in Tucson where we spent the weekend. Friday night was graduation night for some fellow homeschoolers… I…

  • The Week in Review – 6/20 – 7/6/10

    We’re home safe and sound after traveling 4200 miles to Ohio and back.  What a wonderful time we had;  I could have stayed gone longer.  The church camp services were wonderful and of course, seeing old friends is always a treat. Notice the big smiles.  This is the BEFORE picture – the afternoon we left Arizona and headed for Ohio.  We drove 24 hours and then got a hotel room the next night. Camp was a time for cousins to be reunited… There were so many activities that the kids could be involved in. Chess & checker games… These girls are from the Ukraine and they were playing checkers the Ukrainian way…
