Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I started and used dansnow.com in conjunction with my internet business fo several years until I sold the business and retired a little over 3 years ago. I have since started back to writing a little more. Hope the blogs will be good reading to you.

MAKING PEACE WITH OTHERS

For quite some time I have had a huge burden in my heart to write about making peace with others. This one has taken longer to put together than any I have ever written. The primary reason for this difficulty? Peace is one of those words covering a very broad...

Help!!, Blank Blogger Without a Title.

Seldom will you hear me admit to being totally blank for a blog title. But at this point, I feel I should go ahead with the writing, and leave the title to you. Get involved in the "read", on this one, and give me a comment suggesting a title, or subject, please....

PROBLEMS?? QUICK READ GIVING SOLID SOLUTIONS

Recently I posted an easily understood Bible verse, which simply tells mankind what the Lord requires of mankind. "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"...

DAILY LIVING IN GOD’S WILL

When My wife and I married as widow and widower almost two years ago, her two and my five gave us seven adult, married children, and her six and my ten gave us sixteen grandchildren. For years we have observed ten of the older grandchildren going through the process...

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED…

We all have to make decisions all the time, ranging from trivial issues like what to have for lunch, right up to life-changing decisions like where and what to study, and who  to marry. Most likely, you have also done some second-guessing in order to analyze a recent...

Costs Nothing Yet Means So Much

Shortly after the days of classroom education conclude and careers and families begin, most of our lives evolve into the fast track phase of life. We begin facing nonstop demands on our time, which, if left undisciplined, can take control of our lives. However, it’s a...

Living In the Past?

Both my wife and I were blessed with good previous marriages, each lasting over 50 years. Our love for our deceased spouses was a forever kind of commitment. That will never change. I have found the same commitment or similar feelings among others who had been widowed...

A Worry Free Life?

From the very beginning let me be quick to point out that I'm talking about "worry-free" living  rather than the inevitable "problem-filled" living  which everyone has. This subject is dealing with the reactions of worry/anxiety rather than trust/faith as the problems...

Conduct Your “Missing Person” Search God’s Way

Suppose the Lord has taken your mate to be with Him in Heaven. You had a good marriage that lasted perhaps a short time or maybe 10 to 50 years or longer. That someone was not only your mate but also your lover, your best friend, your trusted adviser and the mother or...

Formula for Being Certain.

Many times in my life I have wondered whether or not I made the right or correct choice in a particular matter. There have been just as many times that I did not have a clue what to do next. Those times of agonizing over what I should or should not do or whether I was...

Open Letter to My Ten Grandchildren

You are bringing such unbelievable joy to my heart as I observe your lives springing so rapidly from childhood to adulthood. A couple of you (and you know who you are) are landing already, while two or three of you have just begun to spring from childhood. The rest of...

The True Meaning of Thanksgiving

In this culture of gathering and accumulating things, has Thanksgiving become just "the day before "black Friday"? Has the mind-set of human nature in general settled in on  simply an inward drive to gather and accumulate physical and tangible things? Having been...

My Country ’tis of Thee

Being the Music Director at my church, Grace Baptist Church of Pelzer, South Carolina, I have the responsibility of selecting most of the congregational hymns to be used in our church services each week. That, I might add, is an awesome responsibility requiring...

When Things Go Awry

"NOW WHAT?" Ever had to ask that big question? Of course, we all have at one time or another. Why, "The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry." ..Robert Burns, 1786. The whole reason we have a plan is so we know what to do. So what happens then, when things...
