Come Sit a While
A quiet hearth for wisdom, faith, family, and the good still left to give.
Welcome to a quiet place of memory, faith, family, and reflection. These pages began as a Family Wisdom Book for my children and grandchildren — daily quotes, scripture echoes, lessons from medicine, and Grandfather’s Counsel. I offer them here in the hope that they may bring a little light to someone else as well. Pull up a chair — the fire is warm, and there is always room.
A Thought Worth Carrying
Today at the Hearth
April 12, 2026
Each entry begins with a quotation worth keeping, then gathers a little history, scripture echoes, reflection, and counsel for my children and grandchildren.
From Grandfather: Start with yourself. Start today. Ask the Lord to show you one thing that could be different in you — then do something about it.
