Spring Break Starts with Oz the Great and Powerful!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 9 Mar 13

Our boys are out of school for Spring Break week. We began the break with Oz the Great and Powerful. The whole family enjoyed the modern interpretation of a familiar old story! I really liked the moral of the story. The 1939...

Discovering Steven James!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 9 Feb 13

I was given a Steven James novel for Christmas. I had not heard of James, but I love to read and I put the book in my TBR stack. I got to it a few days ago, it is titled Placebo. I liked the book and the fact that James can tell a...

Sorrow In Waves!!!!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 21 Jan 13

Our congregation, of about 400, has had eight deaths to members or close family of members in ten days. So many messages, even of victory and comfort, is draining. We are praying for strength and comfort as we move forward.

Lemon Tree Blooming Already!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 18 Jan 13

We had our first frost of the year last night so I decided today would be a good day to prune our lemon trees a little bit. But I found that there are many buds on them that will be blooming in a day or two. I hope they don't get...

Show of Faith Sends Shock Waves At the Ball Game!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 14 Jan 13

I was searching for a picture of the guy who wears the rainbow wig and displays a John 3:16 sign at ball games. I found the photo posted below. I do not know if it is photo-shopped or a legitimate picture, but it makes me think...

The Texans were beaten badly by the Pats just a month ago, do the Texans have a realistic chance of winning the playoff game this weekend?

Pompous Baseball Writers!!!!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 10 Jan 13

Yesterday it was revealed that this year there will be no one elected into the Hall of Fame. Of particular irritation to me is the fact that some writers refuse to vote for anyone on the first ballot. There has never been a...

In the Shadow of the Cypress!!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 8 Jan 13

My wife read this book and handed to me with, "I think you might like this." It is written by Thomas Steinbeck and indeed I did enjoy the book. I have passed it along to three other reading friends, all of whom came back with...

Blood Donations

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 7 Jan 13

I began giving blood in 1968 and have been giving at least four times a year since that time. It began because a friend of mine was battling leukemia. But when I found out how easy it is and how much good can be done, I determined...

Jack Reacher Vs. The Hobbit??

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 5 Jan 13

I went yesterday to see Jack Reacher. I have read several of the Reacher series by Lee Child and found the movie satisfactory. Today I took my grandsons to see the Hobbit. They had read all of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings works....

Alabama or Notre Dame???

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 4 Jan 13

the NCAA National Championship Game is set to be played between Alabama and Notre Dame. ND has not lost yet and Alabama was beaten once by Texas A & M. But I am not convinced ND can beat Bama for all the marbles. What do you...

Do you watch American Restoration on the History Channel?

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 3 Jan 13

The show features a shop that restores old machines, vehicles or rare pieces. Every time the owner gives the price it would take to restore some item that has been brought in, I almost choke. The charges are so high, I can hardly...

Last Wednesday night the Lights (our 50 plus group) presented our devotional messages at midweek worship. Tonight our 1825 Group (those 18-25) made the presentations. So encouraging to see that the generation gap is bridged by...

Turning the Page On the Calendar!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 1 Jan 13

How significant is it to you that we have left December and entered January? Is it really any more meaningful than beginning any other day or month?

My frugal little wife!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 30 Dec 12

It is not unusual for my lovely bride to say upon receiving a gift from me, "you should not have spent that much on me." So it is especially gratifying to hear her say something a few days later like, "I really love this jacket!"...

Mission Accomplished--Again!!!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 30 Dec 12

My New Year's resolution in 1983 was to read a book a week for the full year. I was able to reach that goal. I have renewed the resolution each year since. I have now read 53 books in 2012. I have learned a lot and experienced...

Choices Determine Costs!!!!!!

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 28 Dec 12

I recently took two of my grandsons shopping for Christmas gifts they wanted to give. After checking out, one of the boys said, I had to pay $22 and he (his brother) only had to pay $12. I told him that the choices he made...

Christmas Dinner Menu??

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 25 Dec 12

This year we decided to change our Christmas dinner menu from the traditional turkey and dressing and such to tamales, chili, chips and salsa. It was a real hit with the family--much more casual and less labor intensive. May be...
