Breakup

Here I am, sitting on the couch, in a cottage in Alaska. An eagle 🦅 just flew overhead as I write. A stream meanders along, bubbling through our wooded backyard and the lake is our view out the side window. It has been a cold, late Spring here. Even so, the sun was up andContinue reading “Breakup”

She’s so mad at me!

Have you ever had someone really mad at you? Angry enough to avoid you? Annoyed, displeased and irritated enough to completely ignore you as they pass by you–even though that person has been a pretty close friend or relative. If we live long on this earth, I believe it will happen to each one ofContinue reading “She’s so mad at me!”

Betrayal

Last week was a tough week for me. The title of this blog says it all. We went through a trial that felt like betrayal. The ones we trusted were friends, who enjoyed our home hospitality, who we spent close quarters with, who we collaborated and prayed together with, these friends angrily left us withContinue reading “Betrayal”

Constancy

Cute name! Is this the name of my new girlfriend? Actually it’s more like a name of God! I hardly ever see this word constancy. Maybe you are very familiar with it? Maybe not, like me. Here’s how I came across it. If you have been reading my blog you know that I support smallContinue reading “Constancy”

Why Should I Go To Church?

I was visiting with a friend a few years back and she didn’t enjoy her church experience. She told me that a church service didn’t do anything for her, but she did really love some of the people. She almost didn’t think that going to a formal public worship was beneficial in any way. IContinue reading “Why Should I Go To Church?”

Did Jesus Really Die?

I was talking with a new friend I met in a meal ministry in a low income apartment building in Portland Oregon. It was quite a few years ago near the Easter season. She was struggling with the idea that Jesus really died. Yes, he went to the cross but Jesus would never die. SheContinue reading “Did Jesus Really Die?”

Generational Curses

A few weeks ago I had a dream where the given topic seemed ‘out of the blue’. I hadn’t been thinking about this or concerned. But a few days ago, the dream all of a sudden make perfect sense! It’s often like that with messages from the Lord. We have to wait to get clarification.Continue reading “Generational Curses”

The Espresso Machine

A few years ago we had a horrendous event happen on our property. It was chilling! I would like to share this story with you. May God be glorified. About 10:30pm while almost falling asleep, I heard a huge, loud, low pitched bang. I abruptly sat up in bed and then jumped to the openContinue reading “The Espresso Machine”

Performance Orientation

What do you think of when you hear the words, performance orientation? Did you know that there is an evil spirit whose specific job is to promote performance orientation and perfectionism in whatever person it is assigned to? It works in tandem with a critical spirit. I have been harassed by that evil spirit especiallyContinue reading “Performance Orientation”

The Baptism of Love

I was baptized in water when I was twelve years old. I was baptized in the Holy Spirit at nineteen. But there were more spiritual experiences including one I call the “Baptism of Love”. That term doesn’t appear in the Bible but it is what it felt like to me–a baptism of love. The LordContinue reading “The Baptism of Love”
