Christian AuthorI was born in1931 in Riverside Ontario (now Windsor) and I graduated from grade 12 and went on to further my education in the school of hard knocks. I was married in 1956 and was widowed after 45 years of marriage.

As a born again Christian, I am involved in my church and teach a bible class at a local senior’s residence.

I am a retired farmer and factory worker. I enrolled in a writer’s course after my wife went to Heaven in 2002. As well as writing my wife’s biography, I love researching and writing biblical and historic articles. I have had several short stories and articles published.

Christian Article  - Encouragement
Fiction: False
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame (Genesis 2:24-25).

At the age of seventeen, and with great pride, I had acquired both, and had saved up enough money to buy a used sixteen gauge single-shot, shotgun. It was one of those cold frosty mornings with the sun sparkling on the crisp, newly fallen snow. The snow crunched as I headed ... Read Christian Article


Mary’s Encounter with An Angel  
Christian Article  - Devotionals
Fiction: False
Read Lk. 1:26 – 28 The word virgin, refers to Mary being a young woman, and not having had relations with a man. She may have been a teenager; the bible does not give her age. Some bible scholars say that Mary could have been 13 or 14 years of age. I am sure Mary was frightened and confused by this strange apparition before her. This angel must have been an awesome sight. He probably frigh ... Read Christian Article


Happy Holidays

When I was growing up a long, long time ago. When someone said happy holiday it usually meant school was out or someone was going away . And when I was older and working for a living; when it came to vacation time we would usually say to our friends, “You have a good holiday now.” Now at this time of the year we get, “Happy Holidays, or Holiday Greetings,” whatever that means? Another one is, “Sea ... Read Christian Article

I Remember Harry  
Christian Article  - Inspirational
Fiction: False
The first time I met Harry was in the early nineties. He was a tall gangly man who looked to be in his mid fifties; It is hard to tell the age of a person in Harry's condition.
