Do we fight for America, or do we resign ourselves to the present circumstances and say, “It’s the End Times. Batten down the hatches and get ready for the antichrist?” It’s a legitimate question. Daryl and I attend county commissioner meetings, city council meetings, sign our names to petitions.  Is there hope for this nation […]

Friends of ours took in a pregnant teen to live with them. They have two kids of their own, a set of aging parents to care for, and both work fulltime jobs. Wow! I don’t know if I could do that. Ministry is messy. The young girl got pregnant while at college. When she found […]

Had breakfast with a group of Christian women recently, and one just got back from Las Vegas. Christian women. All church goers. More than half the women admitted they go to Las Vegas regularly, and love it! They go there to gamble and to see a show or two. My Christian sisters talked about the […]

Hey! It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Death of a loved one. Fractured relationships. Addictions and unwanted dependencies. Tensions that stretch marriages to the point of breaking and children who choose a life path that is so beyond recognition it’s hard to believe they were formed in your womb. We are experiencing polarization at […]

There are some things that are foolish, and then there are some things that look foolish to others because they don’t understand everything that is going on—they don’t know all the details. Riding the Moscow underground (subway, Metro) alone late at night in the early 1990s was one of those things. It looked foolish. I […]

A good friend called me last night and asked, “What is their thinking? What is their purpose? What do they tell themselves?” She was referring to the leaders of our government, specifically Joe Biden. The ridiculous and foolish way we exited Afghanistan left not only the Afghan people in danger from the Taliban, but more […]

“Monkeys will fly out my nose before I go there!” I was very serious and very firm with Daryl. He’d made an agreement with UNESCO and Afghanistan’s Ministry of Higher Education that he’d bring an academic team to Kabul for university faculty training by March, 2003. “You know I can’t go to a Muslim country.

Cockroaches crawling on me woke me up. I felt little tickles on my arms and face. I shot out of bed slapping myself all over. I started gasping. I hate cockroaches. I HATE THEM! I turned on the light and there were dozens of them scampering out of sight. Knowing God’s will and doing God’s […]

I just sat there and stared at that piece of paper in the middle of my living room floor. I didn’t have the nerve to pick it up. It looked like an envelope and across the front was a tire mark. No name. No address. No words. Just some dirt and a tire mark. Quite […]
