Biding My Time

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 6 Comments/ 808

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 →

What’s On My Mind

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 7 Comments/ 587

I am not alone in what is currently on my mind. Israel. I honestly have no words for my Jewish friends. I mean there is nothing that I can say. As a Christian I have never felt threatened. I have never felt like my faith Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 20 Comments/ 528

I found Jesus on my driveway today.  I didn’t expect to . I wasn’t exactly looking for Him. But I found Him.  There He was. But I didn’t realize it until I looked closer. There He was. Just a tiny little postage stamp sized picture Continue reading →
