The Easter Story
This is the reading of the Easter story from Luke 23:33-56 on through Luke 24:1-53. It is from the NASB and there is no preaching other than the straight reading of the Easter story. It is God’s written word and it’s perfect as it is so he just does the reading. Enjoy it and have a blessed Easter and the rest of the year.

Our Dog Chrissy
My oldest son’s dog is a Great Pyrenees named Chrissy. Chrissy is a really really good dog. We got her when she was almost 6 weeks old and she is now 8 1/2.
When she was younger, Chrissy would eat pretty much any good dog food that we put in front of her. But in the past year, she has become really picky. She got where she wouldn’t hardly eat anything. We tried all sorts of different high-quality foods of different brands and she would just turn her nose up to it. Then we started trying the fresh dog food and she would eat it a time or two and then she wouldn’t eat it either.
We finally tried Spot and Tango and I’m so glad that we did. She loves it. It’s the first time in a long time that she has been excited about meal time. She eats every last bite and is eating more than she has in a long time. She has been on Spot and Tango for about eight months now. We can see a big difference in her. Her coat is shiny and pretty. She has more energy. Overall, she’s just a happier dog. I would highly recommend you try it out. If you use my link, you will get 70% off your first order. I think if you try it, your dog will be happy too. Click here: My referral link

Hello All!
Hello everybody. I hope everyone’s been doing OK. I know it’s been a bit since I’ve written. Most know that I’ve been on hospice care and I’m now bedridden due to my multiple sclerosis and my other ailments. Well, I am still on hospice care, I will probably remain on hospice care due to my chronic pain and hospice is needed to help control that pain, but I am actually doing so much better. Here is a picture of me at my worst.
As you can tell, I have put on some weight and I actually look a lot healthier. I appreciate everybody who stood by my side and for everybody’s prayers.
Have a blessed rest of your week and weekend!
That was taken February 3, 2025. I was in really bad shape and it wasn’t for prayers and the care of my son, who was and is still, my primary caretaker, I wouldn’t be here today.
Here are some pictures of what I look like now.
As you can tell, I have put on some weight and I actually look a lot healthier. I appreciate everybody who stood by my side and for everybody’s prayers.
I’m also very thankful that this blog has continued to grow even though I haven’t posted as much. I still gain new followers every month and I’m glad that people still find my content relevant. I know that the world is so unstable now and I think that’s why people are wanting to learn how to make their own bread and learn how to be more sustainable and I know my blog is a great way to do that. As always, I welcome comments and suggestions.
And for all of you all who follow my son‘s ministry, here is an another sermon that he has done recently.
Have a blessed rest of your week and weekend!
