The Ultimate Sacrifice

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 378

Please remember these brave men and women’s families in your prayers. I can not begin to imagine the pain and sense of loss they must feel at this point or when they got word that their loved one was a casualty in the Kabul bombing Continue reading →

Monday Men

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 19 Comments/ 407

Every church has them. They may not be called Monday Men but they are surely there. These are the guys who show up to do little jobs around the church. Need lightbulbs replaced? They are there. Need a door hinge fixed? They show up. Need Continue reading →

Remember When?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 12 Comments/ 389

Our power went out this past week due to the storms coming through. Fortunately it only went out for about 4 hours so it wasn’t a big deal but I wanted to read and my light was less than wonderful. No sitting out on the Continue reading →

Stuck in a Rut

Beth Ann Chiles/ Devotional, Writing/ 18 Comments/ 443

A repost from several years ago but one that I needed to reread. Enjoy. This afternoon I took a much needed break and sat still for about an hour on my back porch.  There was a gentle breeze blowing across the lake, the birds were Continue reading →

It’s All About Timing

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 8 Comments/ 457

There are a lot of quotable quotes and references to time in my Bartlett’s Famous Quotations book Some of them are amusing, some are challenging and some just don’t make any sense to me at all.  Consider these samplings: “Dost thou love life? Then do Continue reading →

The Good Girl

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
