• A Little Old Lady

  by Sister Janet Bowser, BA Bible Theology June 27, 2014
  Recently I was out driving with two of my kids when I saw an older lady just struggling to walk up a high hill heavily pulling luggage. I agonized briefly as to what to do, then turned around and asked her if she needed a ride. I'm blessed with a big van. It was a blessing to me as we drove h...

  My mother started her professional life off as a telephone operator. I mean one of those who wore the headset and plugged the cables into the different holes in the wall. You know what I mean. Then she was a WAC in WWII. She later became a secretary for many years.     She sort of set...
