We lost another good person to cancer this week: Jerry. He was the one we met during the first round of chemo treatments. He and Brian hit it off and they talked everyday that week of treatments. Jerry was also the one I wrote about back in November when I…

I was looking for a particular verse in Isaiah during my devotions this week. As I was writing in my journal, as a prayer to God, I cried out that I felt stretched and felt there were so many different things to do. Yet, each time something has come up…

This is the week of Passover: Holy Week. The Jews have been celebrating Passover ever since they left Egypt so many years ago and made their way to the Promised Land. The idea of Passover was for them to remember where it was they once came from and to celebrate the…

There is a lot of uncertainty in our world right now as the United States launched rockets into Syria last night in response to Syria’s people dying from chemical warfare. Wars. Rumors of Wars. Civil Wars. Murder. Chaos. Injustice. Evil. The picture above was taken when we went to Israel….

There have been way too many times I have thought, “Oh, that will be fine to wait until tomorrow, I can do it later.” Or, “I might have something to say, but they don’t need to hear one more compliment.” I have some sobering news for you: death is right around…
