What do you expect of God? A BSF buddy wrote this week about spending time with his buddies on a camp out. The question of “What do you expect of God?’ resonated long after the campfire went out. But what do you expect from God? Chances are we don’t think too much about it until …

I Have Big Ears…But…

Mary and I have been Blessed with miniature dachshunds for 30 years, so we know & love the unique dachshund characteristics.
