Israel
Israel is in the news and in our conversations a lot these days with the war lasting over 85 days. University students have made statements against Israel. Antisemitism is on the rise in our country. This topic is kind of personal for me. I am a Gentile, but part of my family has a JewishContinue reading “Israel”
Christmas “First Love” Stories
Last night we had a fun Christmas party at our house with my husband’s Coffee Clatch men’s small group and their wives. Since some of us did not know each other well, and since we were mainly a couples gathering, the inevitable question came, “How did you meet each other?” This is such a greatContinue reading “Christmas “First Love” Stories”
The Curtain Fell Down!
We were in Mexico for a week of R and R. It was beautiful and warm while home was wet, windy and cool. Our recently renovated room looked out over the palm trees and ocean. Grateful bliss! But one day when we got back to the room a crazy thing had happened! The heavy light-darkeningContinue reading “The Curtain Fell Down!”
Why get Married?
I was sitting in a marriage seminar with my husband of 50+ years. Beside me sat a couple, probably in their late twenties. I had a nice greeting. They said they were investigating marriage. What a great thing for them to do! They had travelled almost three hours to do that! The divorce rate isContinue reading “Why get Married?”

Recently he even gave that word to our church at Spirit night. They affirmed that message and said that even in theContinue reading “Gratitude”
What is a Woman? Part 1
I was on a walk with my husband on our country road. We were blocked from continuing home by a truck and trailer carrying a huge, unusual logging machine which was trying to turn into a driveway but yet blocked the whole road and walking area. Of course my husband was fascinated by this machineContinue reading “What is a Woman? Part 1”
Disaster Preparedness
A couple of weeks ago my friend shared her dream with me. She doesn’t usually remember her dreams but this was vivid. Now I love hearing people’s dreams and helping them understand what God is saying to them, or the personal feelings the dream reveals, or the revealed plans of the enemy against them. SoContinue reading “Disaster Preparedness”
Who’s the Treasure?
I do treasure hunts. Now some folks do treasure hunts in second hand stores and I enjoy that too. Some people do treasure hunts on the beach looking for agates–I like that as well. But the treasure hunts that God has put on my heart are people. I take out a block of time inContinue reading “Who’s the Treasure?”
