• Easter EGGstravaganza
Children love an Easter Egg Hunt. Colored hard bowled eggs are obviously placed around a lawn, so even the youngest could not miss them. It is almost an Easter Tradition in the States. Even the President hosts such an event on the White House Lawns. How does the Christian convert this secular holiday [...]
• Visual Story of Easter
Timeless Message of the Good News of Easter is what the Gospel is all about. I have been sharing this message since the early 60’s and the gospel facts of the message has never changed. I have have heard many presentations and have seen many visual representations of this message, but the message facts remain [...]
• Faith & Tension
This picture captures the essence of Faith and Tension. This was the cover on our Sunday Church Bulletin. I just liked the image with the caption “Faith and Tension.” One can easily imagine a boat that is anchored with strong rope to the edge of the dock by a dock cleat, but the water maintains [...]
• A “Sign” from God?
I tend to read signs while I am driving. While I was returning from store on my last trip to Palm Springs, I caught a glimpse of this sign as I was passing a Bus Stop. Did it say what I thought it said? I was so intrigued by that thought, that I turned [...]
• My Floral Bouquet #7
This floral specimen is one of my favorites…a rose. I did not have to travel far to find this one, I found it in my own backyard. I call this one my “Sunny Rose.” The center of the rose is yellow, and the ends of the pedals are red…a pretty rose by most standards and [...]

Daisies are, to me, rather simple flowers, rather symmetrical with only two colors with the clean white pedals. They have a clean crisp look in contrast to the green foliage. These flowers impressed me [...]
• Thanksgiving Turkey Lesson
This Thanksgiving Turkey is a lesson on thankfulness. This has been the Kinard tradition for Thanksgiving. This flannel-graph board has a turkey mounted on it, without the feathers. Our guests pick a subject/feather that they are thankful for. Then each person shares with the family/group the specific thing in that category that they are [...]
• The Unspeakable Gift
More than thirty years ago, a dentist, from the Midwest, was taking me to the airport. He observed my five missing teeth. He told me that my smile “offended him!” Then, he offered to repair my teeth, if would fly there to get them repaired. He told me that he would do all the work [...]
• The Fruit of Gratefulness
Saturday, while taking a walking break from my writing in Palm Springs, I found myself checking out the fruit to determine its readiness for picking. The grapefruit turns from green to yellow, then brighter yellow to a reddish blush. When this reddish blush appears, that’s how you can tell this type of grapefruit is [...]
