Month: October 2026

If you scroll down to the bottom of the right column and click on that first month of this blog, you will see one of my favorites titled Time Flies. Someone once told me that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes. It has been nearly ten years since I wrote that post and time has picked up speed. The irony is the less time I have remaining is even more valuable, but my desire to  share it with others to encourage and inspire them is even greater. i’ll keep sharing until God calls me home.

 

I have noticed over the years that scientific theory often disagrees with the Bible and religion, but scientific facts always confirm the truth of scripture. A good example is when the Supreme Court ruled on abortion in the mid 1970’s, there were several theories by biologists about when human life begins. But after the advancement of ultrasound and the indexing of the human genome, 97% of biologists worldwide agree that human life begins at conception. When scientists announced the indexed human genome at a press conference, one said that we now know the first living cell was much too complex to have happened by chance. I remember thinking, “Goodbye evolution and hello creation.” I recommend a You Tube video titled “Believe In God In 5 Minutes” narrated by Dr. Gerald Schroeder, with a Phd  in physics and planetary science from MIT. who is also an Orthodox Jew.

God has had His hand on my life since I was born. I survived nearly every childhood disease. When I was home recovering from measles at age 9, my mom and I escaped a house fire that destroyed all our family owned. At age 12, I got sick and our old family doctor was treating me for the flu and my condition was becoming deadly. My grandmother was baby sitting for a young doctor and his wife and she told him about my condition. Mom took me to his clinic the next day and he diagnosed it as Histoplasmosis and hospitalized me for treatment. After I got home my breathing got worse. He told my parents if it was a recurrence of the disease, there was nothing more he could do for me. He returned with the test results and a smile telling them it was pneumonia. After recovering, I was stronger than ever. Since then, I survived a very strong typhoon on Okinawa in the Air Force, two deadly infections at the same time, two cancer surgeries, and a nursing home that tried to trap me for life; which wouldn’t have been long with the lack of care there. Now I’m 83 and I know if I die tomorrow I will be with my Lord. If I live tomorrow my Lord will be with me. Whatever happens He’s got me.
