Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you. Shortly after my mother died, I had an encounter with a patient’s family. The man could not have known the words he spoke would carry so much weight, I didn’t share my journey with him. He was there for his family. It... Continue Reading →
The Valley
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 This passage immediately takes me back to Israel as we stood atop what is known as the Valley of Shadow of Death. The... Continue Reading →
Perception
I love old churches. The architecture, the history, the beauty. Since childhood they have held my fascination. Several times I have taken trips just to go look explore historic churches. Although I am not Catholic, I love those churches the most with stain glassed windows, statues and often little gift stores attached. Last night we... Continue Reading →
Marriage Takes Work
Today I kept pondering the word honor or respect. I told God that because today is our 23rd anniversary, I wanted to make a special point to show honor and respect to my husband. We have been together the better part of the last thirty-one years. We are a testimony to God’s grace and mercy... Continue Reading →

And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8 This promise was given to the Israelites as God transitioned them from the leadership of Moses to the leadership of Joshua. He was planning to take the Israelites... Continue Reading →
Impossible
With God nothing is impossible. The very word declares through the Great I Am “I’m Possible.”
Remembrance
so I say, “My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the Lord.” Lamentations 3:18 Other translations say "My strength" instead of my endurance. The Scriptures before share of the destruction of Jerusalem and the utter turmoil that the writer either witnessed or experienced. His will to live was gone. He did not feel that...

Patiently Waiting
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. Hebrews 6:13-15 God keeps His promises. They may not come in my timing or even look like I think it... Continue Reading →
