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 […]
Promise of the Day: You Are My Beloved

Blessings! Today’s Promise is Romans 5:5 CJB: “And this hope does not let us down, because God’s love for us has already been poured out in our hearts through the Ruach HaKodesh [Holy Spirit] who has been given to us.” Devotion: Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the nature of God as my Dad.

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?

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!

The Church of Baal: Taking the Bull by the Horns

Blessings, Family, My last post related a dream I had received concerning the New Church God was building from the ground up. If you didn’t get a chance to read it, you can find it with this link The New Church Rising! In this dream I was told by God that the ground on which […]
The New Church Rising!

Blessings, Family, It has been a while since I received what I call a heavy-weight message for the church. I’ve learned that even when God seems “quiet,” He is still busy, fulfilling all the things He has shown me in the past. I’ve come to trust in His timing and praise Him for His faithfulness, […]
4th of July Report 2022

Blessings, Family, As I write this, Chuck, Gracie, and I are at the 4th of July in the Park celebration—and it’s raining cats and dogs. Seriously coming down. But we are praising God anyway. Especially, because we got all set up before the heavens opened up. Every year something new and exciting happens when we […]
