Beneath the Waterfall: God’s Transforming Love
Blessings Friends, On our way back from the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon, my husband, daughter, and I drove the Columbia Gorge Scenic Highway. It was so beautiful! Hard to believe God created all that just for me. Even more amazing, that it pales in comparison to the splendor of Heaven! We […]
Sound the Shofar! Rosh Hashanah 2015
Blessings Friends, Rosh Hashanah is upon us once more. The Jewish New Year, beginning the Feast of Trumpets and the ten Days of Awe, when we are called to examine our hearts and seek God in prayer and repentance. A time to be sanctified so that when Messiah returns, He will find us faithful. This […]
You Have the Right to Remain Silent–Amen!
Blessings Friends, Much is made today about our individual rights. Our Constitution guarantees us certain “unalienable rights.” We have law enforcement agencies to protect our rights. Even those who violate the rights of others have rights. Our overtaxed judicial system testifies to the fact that people are dogged about defending their rights. The Books of […]
Healthy Codependence
Blessings Friends, John 14:16: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.” Hallelujah! Have you considered the ramifications of that promise made by Jesus before He was crucified? It might not mean much to anyone who has not met Jesus, but think […]
Victory in Kenya! What You Won’t See in the News
Blessings Friends! Earlier this month we were saddened by the brutal murders of 147 and injuries of 79 Christian students by al-Shabab militants in Garissa, Kenya.

Mr. Wonderful!: Part 3
Blessings Friends! I hope my dream about the perverse spirit and this look into Isaiah 19 has quickened your spirits to the urgency of prayer for The Body of Christ. My heart’s desire is that God’s people will take the initiative and humble themselves before God, before He has to do it for us! Wouldn’t […]
Mr. Wonderful!: Part 2
Blessings Friends! I hope your curiosity got the better of you after my post, Mr. Wonderful!, and that you grabbed your Bibles and study aids, and dug into Isaiah 19. This is where The Spirit directed me when I was praying for insight into my dream about the perverse spirit. As I said before, I […]
The Warning VIII: Is It Getting Hot In Here?
Blessings Friends, When my kids were younger, I had a lot of fun on their birthdays arranging treasure hunts for them and their friends. Later, it also became a Christmas tradition. When we have an extra special gift for someone, we love to draw out the excitement of giving by having them follow clues and […]
Election 2014–A New Beginning?
Blessings Friends! There is great rejoicing in the Republican camp today. I seem to recall the same excitement from the Democrats not all that long ago. Republican are expecting now what Democrats expected then—change for the better. Unfortunately, we continued on our spiral downward then, and only one thing can change that trend. As long as […]
