When we first heard the news that my sister-in-law had a rare stomach cancer and there was not much of a treatment plan, it made no sense.

The Pool of Bethesda
My hair is a matted, unkept mess and peering into the mirror is not for the faint of heart! I am trying to remember the last time I had a shower, or even a bath! I am beginning to feel like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5). Maybe a little exaggeration … Continue reading The Pool of Bethesda
Heartrending Storms
I was chosen to carry something heavy. In fact, I would need the assistance of flight attendants, trained health care individuals, a whole flight of passengers, and a sympathetic pilot!

When God’s Answer Hurts!
After the loss of a loved one, doing mundane things, like the wash, seems to be so robotic.

I gasped as soon as I noticed! … Continue reading When God’s Answer Hurts!

Celebratory Fast “Take 4”
Being so different and incredibly young, we were both filled with stubborn pride. He found it hard to apologize while I was the one saying “sorry.” Yet, he forgave quickly, while I was the one holding a grudge. We were sputtering and spiraling, but God had other plans. The Bible says, “two are better than … Continue reading Celebratory Fast “Take 4”
Celebratory Fast “Take 3”
At times we feel annoyed, and then there are times my husband and I are totally maddened! Living in the country especially during the summer months, the gnats torment us with every outside endeavor.
