My Favorite Time of the Year

I love all of the holidays, but Christmas is my favorite. It makes me sad that so many people forget that it's a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Some will argue that it isn't even His real birthday. That's true. Nobody knows when Jesus was born. Some believe it was in the spring or summer. That could be true. Many argue that our beloved Christmas traditions are of pagan origin. That's also true. The newly converted Christians didn't want to give up their colorful and festive holiday traditions. The church was wise enough to to see the problem and offer a solution. They started a new holiday close to the old, to honor the birth of Jesus, as told in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament of the Bible. They gave new meanings to old symbols and customs. They named it Christs Mass. The people embraced the new holiday and many of us celebrate it still today. Many people want to reduce it back to a pagan holiday. They have ...

My Introduction to the Lord

I lived with my Grandpa and Grandma Baker off and on throughout my childhood. They were the ones who taught me the most about Jesus, and our Heavenly Father. While staying there my Great Grandpa Shuff taught me the song "I'll Fly Away." Someone, probably Grandma Baker taught me to say 'The Lord's Prayer'. I can remember saying it when I was about three years old, alone at night in my bed. I can't remember when I didn't know it. My daddy, although he is not saved, taught me never to call him father, because I only have one, and that is my Heavenly Father. As far back as I can remember, Grandpa and Grandma took me to the little McClarity Baptist Church, down on the McClarity Fork of Four Mile, in Lincoln County, West Virginia. I can remember sitting, or lying, on the hard wooden pews. There was an old coal stove in the center of the room, for heat in the winter. We used hand-held paper fans during the summer. Almost all of the men sat on the right side ...

UFO?

 I wish I had wrote down the dates, but it didn't occur to me at the time. It was in the late1980's or early 1990's. My sister, my three children, and I were going to our home in Adams County, Ohio from a visit at Mamaw Spencer's house in Morrow, Ohio. It was really late at night. There was a bright light in the sky. At first we didn't think much about it.  It seemed as if the light was following us, even when we turned on different highways and roads. When we got to Wildcat Road, on the edge of Brown and Adams County,  just a few miles from home, it was still overhead and we were starting to wonder about it. When I turned onto Wildcat Road, whatever it was exploded in the sky. My sister and one of my daughters saw it, too. As soon as we got home we turned on the television. It was early in the morning, maybe 3 or 4:00. After a while, a news story came on. It was a report about an explosion in thithe sky over Brown County, Ohio. Numerous people witnessed it. Area fa...
