Safe Place with Ruth Graham

All my children and most of my grandchildren have gathered. I love it. My two 19 year old grandsons could not come due to work schedules and my one son-in-law works for UPS so this is his busy season. My oldest grandson, Walker, turns 19 today! I am sorry he is not with us –…

How far down do we have to go until we feel the wrath of God because of our disregard for the life of the unborn? I’m talking about the culture where baby parts are harvested and sold for huge sums of money. Actions one with purpose and callousness.  It is not someone’s imagination or wild…

President Obama announced a negotiated deal concerning its nuclear arms with Iran this AM. With my mind spinning I sat down to spend time with the Lord. As is my custom, I sing a hymn each day…this morning I sang, “May Jesus Christ Be Praised”. “Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find,…

My car is old – 13 years old…216,000 miles old…it has a cassette player old…. Things are beginning to break down. For instance my CD player is broken. I loved to listen to audio books as I trek up and down the Interstate but my player eats the CDs. I did finally discover that if…
