How Smucker’s BP&J changed the world*

I have written about, in the past, my sisters daughter who had brain cancer as a child, she is 22 now, and over all doing fine. She has the mentality of an 8-year-old, and this, sometimes, causes one to stop and reflect on what she has to say. Many times you just smile and laugh because …

It never stops, the selfishness

Ok, so the story of the selfish one continues… As I stated in a previous blog, the mother and her two boys had to move out of my sisters house by the end of the month. Well she did not want to wait, and decided it would be better to sneak out during the day, …

Not good enough for Her

Image via Wikipedia You ever wonder what makes people tick, how they process information, I do. But all to often it’s because of there stupidity that makes me think about this.

Celebration

In my opinion it is no coincidence that that first miracle of Jesus was at a party. The wedding fest is a well know story, it’s the one where Jesus turns water in to wine. He makes the finest wine ever, and all in attendance knows it.   In fact through out the bible we …

Uncles Day

Fathers Day, a day to celebrate fatherhood, a day to remember your father, a day to celebrate all men; fathers, uncles and alike…   My sister’s husband passed away when my nieces where young, so they never really celebrated Fathers Day, but rather Uncles Day. It was and is a way for them to show …
