Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

          We all can use a laugh, especially during a difficult pandemic.  So let's take a break this week and enjoy some items which I have collected.  
          First, here are some signs that will be misread for certain.

          *   In a London department store:  BARGAIN BASEMENT ON 2ND. FLOOR...
