Blessed Art Thou
Blessings, Family, For Christmas this year, I decided to share an excerpt from my book, Loved So Much It Hurts: Purpose in the Pain. This particular piece was posted on my CarePage on December 20, 2010, a year after my cancer surgery. This season, I’ve felt the story of our Savior’s birth more deeply than I […]
Why Passover?
Blessings Friends! Do you have any idea how hard it is to remove every speck of yeast from your home? As my daughter and I prepared for Passover, the mere thought of this daunting task made it very difficult to drag myself out of bed in the morning. I was literally stress paralyzed. And, yes, that is real […]
Be Mine: A Valentine from Your Father
Blessings Family, Valentine’s Day is here, and with it our thoughts turn to love. Every human being craves love. From birth, we spend our lives seeking it. We don’t feel complete without it. Why? Because we are created in the likeness and according to the image of our God (Gen. 1:26). And 1 John 4:8 […]
The Gift of a Lifetime! Limited Time Offer!
Blessings Friends! Christmas is upon us. A time to celebrate the greatest gift ever given. The one and only Son of God, in the form of a little baby. Not snuggled in a royal purple robe and rocking in a cradle of gold, but wrapped in cloths like those used to dress a body for […]
Arise!: Giving Thanks
Blessings Family, Isaiah 40:31: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Praise The Lord!

On this Appointed Time (Rosh Hashanah), we […]
Child Sacrifice: The Payoff and the Price
Blessings, Family, Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.– Psalm 127:3-5 NKJV As I write […]
Thank You for the Cross
Blessings Family, Ephesians 2:4-10 NIV: “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in […]
A Peculiar People: Why I No Longer Celebrate Easter
Blessings, Friends, I have been praying over this post for weeks. I had to have the assurance of the Holy Spirit, if not a word from the Father himself, not only that my attitude was right before Him and you, but that I not create a burden for my readers with what the Lord has […]

As you may know, it is very typical this is a time of year for seers to receive visitations and messages from the Lord concerning the new year. In our house, it seems […]
