Little Bethany was as cute as a bug's ear. The only child and the only grandchild, she was the center of attention. Discipline was not the strong suit of these new parents. They would feed her in the middle of the night, even though she was old enough to sleep through the night, because they

GOD'S POWER VS. OUR POWER
"Millions for defense and not a penny for tribute." I learned what that quote meant while in the Army. I was assigned, as were all junior officers In the 82d Aiborne Division, to escort Generals and Colonels from the parking lot to a set of bleachers located in a

He loved my mother dearly.
Mom often told me so
As she filled me in on things about
The dad I didn’t know.
He never knew a stranger, and
Kind deeds he’d always show;
His smile revealed the caring of
The dad I didn’t know.
His death came unexpectedly
The day his heart let go;
We children all felt

Where go these crowds who run and curry?
Why all the lights--the Christmas trees?

For parties and for fun and play;
Why this is Christmas!
So this is Christmas,

THE ODE TO THE INNKEEPER
The Innkeeper stands, he is guarding the door
He's got all he wants, he has room for no more
'O yes, there's a stable, not fit for a king
Have that if you like, it don't mean a thing.
But don't come inside, I've so much to do
I haven't the time to listen to you.'
A night
