I like to read the tombstones to find out when people lived and died. Occasionally someone writes a scripture verse on their tombstone but most of them just give a name and the dates they lived between.
I didn’t find any interesting tombstone comments in Alden MN where My great Aunt Frieda was

While we are reviewing the Ten Commandments, let me also give you some “sign language” to remember all ten in order.
1 – Raise your index finger – I am the Lord, your God. You shall have no other gods before me.

AF Sgt. Arthur Powell told his story in the July (1994) "Guideposts."

We were in Spain a few weeks ago and we went to a water park to keep the kids happy. Now I don’t mind swimming, but I don’t do heights – really. Anyway, Dom my youngest decides that he and I are going to go down some of the water shoots - there was one called the black hole, and actually it was

I like some of what Edwene Gaines writes about although I do not agree with all her views on spirituality. But I have learned enough from her writings that I decided not to be bothered in areas where I disagree. I find her life story and spiritual journey though to be compelling.
Years before she

-Author Ken Jones tells about a lesson he learned about hearing God:
[When I walked into my office] I noticed something I had never seen before. It was round, about the size of a dessert plate, and plugged into the wall, giving out a constant noise. It wasn’t a loud noise, just constant. What in

THE GREAT INVITATION
Isaiah 55:6 “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, and call ye upon Him while He is near.”
It was a cold, winter day. A carcass, on an ice floe, floated slowly down the Niagra River. An Eagle, flying overhead, spied the easy prey below, and descended upon it. He began to eat.

1 Cor. 3:1-9 Paul opens up our chapter slamming the spiritual condition of many in this church. He tells them that they are not spiritually mature, but that they are acting like mere babies. He tells them he has to address them for what they are worldly, i.e. carnal – fleshly or immature! Not
