Our world is reeling with every kind of disturbance. Earthquakes, tsunamis, sink holes, hurricanes, cyclones, flooding and volcanic eruptions are daily occurrences. Terrorism and lawlessness are also on the rise as never before. The scriptures concerning the endtimes in Matthew 24 and in other places outline where we are in the world today. But, God … Continue reading Life – His Image–Our Identity

One Step Closer to Home
The road to Missouri was hot. We traveled over Labor Day weekend. The three digit temperatures through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Nebraska, challenged our patience and our strength. Our caravan of vehicles crawled the mountains at 15mph. We felt like “The Little Engine That Could,” moving at a snail’s pace, but we were moving. We … Continue reading One Step Closer to Home
A Pause for Thanks
My days last week were full of responsibilities and writing. My office looks like a cyclone hit with piles of notes and snippets everywhere. Today I am trying to re-establish order. Sorting through piles, filing and pitching. I came across two and a half pages of scribbled notes on a steno pad. They must have … Continue reading A Pause for Thanks
Movin’ On
Sarah’s birth marked a new beginning for all of us. Still the word about moving remained waiting for an answer. Our sons, Shane and Brett, were by my side to help with Sarah whenever needed. Shane was thirteen and Brett eleven. They took turns feeding her, holding her and even changing her on occasion. Still, … Continue reading Movin’ On
A Change of Course
When God speaks impossibilities to us, we often shake our heads in unbelief. Yet, deep within a seed is planted and it's life cannot be denied. And just as a seed silently transforms and bursts forth days, months, or even years later, it takes time for God's impossibilities to be made visible. Waiting is not … Continue reading A Change of Course

But, we found a camping spot right next to a roaring river. It was running fast and full the … Continue reading The River Walk
Hurry Up and Wait
In March 1976, we scrawled the words, “Missouri or Bust,” across butcher paper and taped it to the side of our cab-over camper. We were off on a great adventure, a church conference in Missouri with our seven and nine-year-old sons. Little did we know that our declaration in black marker was prophetic. When we … Continue reading Hurry Up and Wait

Family life was in constant flux as Mike’s hours changed month to month. One month he was up before dawn and home for supper.

The Chart
These past few months have been quiet ones. Time to reflect and listen for God's direction. Today I am starting some new posts, about my life. They are different than the Hebrew lessons, but each story reveals greater understanding for who we are in God's eyes and of greater importance, who He is. Hope you … Continue reading The Chart
Who Are We? Identity Theft – Part 1
Identity theft is big these days. Hackers steal our credit, our bank accounts, our lives with the push of a button. But the greatest identity theft of all took place at the beginning of time, when Satan convinced Eve she wasn't enough. God didn't give her all she needed. We may think we know who … Continue reading Who Are We? Identity Theft – Part 1
