Several years ago, there was a pastor who was having difficulties in his ministry—so much so, that he was moving to another ministry. At that particular time, we were at a highpoint in our ministry. I remember one of our children saying, “How can they be so excited about leaving? I’d die if we had … More Ready to Die? Really?
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

That’s quite a statement! What would make someone say that?

As I read the poem, it seemed like yesterday that I was the one in the hospital giving birth. Tommy arrived at 2:47 am after twenty-two … More Thank You, Lord

For those of you who have joined me since that time—and I am overwhelmed by that number—here’s a recap of the accident: During the renovation of our church gym, my husband, … More Please Push Me Off This Ladder, Lord
Trust–how can I trust the nurse, when my newest little granddaughter is obviously not happy with what she is doing?

In fact, she had … More Trust–When She’s Turning Blue?
It was a forty-year-old Moses who left Egypt and became a shepherd at the foot of Mt. Sinai. For the next forty years, he herded sheep for Jethro, the Midianite priest who became his father-in-law.
