Our Emotions Serve a Purpose
And, oh how my emotions can be topsy-turvy! But, thank God — He knows me well. In fact, He never asked for polite affection. He asked for passionate love.“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” (Mark 12:30) That’s not a Hallmark-card kind of love. That’s a whole-life, all-in, no-holding-back…
A Taste of Eden at Flora Farms
Carl and I arrived in Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday, thanks to our incredibly thoughtful children. Carl’s daughter said, “We want you to enjoy yourselves on trips like this as long as you can.” And my son said, “Mom, stay at our place (a beautiful home that was built for them and their family —…
