It’s Pentecost Sunday and I’ve Got the Power!
With two of my grandchildren, we recently watched the movie “Bruce Almighty”, a spoof about a guy (Jim Carrey) who was complaining that God was treating him poorly. Soon after, God (Morgan Freeman) actually contacts Bruce and offers him all of His powers if he thinks he can do a better job. Bruce accepts and…
Comfort Blanket Helps Lead Loyola University to the Sweet Sixteen
Since I posted a few days ago about THE COMFORTER, I’ve had two more occasions to reinforce what I was saying. This was USA Today’s headline on March 15th: “NCAA tournament 2018: Loyola-Chicago gets inspiration from 98-year-old nun”. Loyola was able to pull off the first upset of March Madness in dramatic fashion. The 98-year-old…
My Comforter is One of my Favorite Things
My Comforter is One of my Favorite Things My word of the day is COMFORTER: a thick bed covering that is filled with a soft light material; also someone who helps you to feel less worried, upset, frightened; someone who comforts you. I do a lot of traveling and that means sleeping in beds that…

Web Worms or Heart Worms
Day 250 of Photo Inspirations — Web Worms or Heart Worms While we were walking this week, my friends and I were surprised at the web worms that were consuming gorgeous trees outside our community. Those web worms are uninvited guests and have invaded and taken over those trees. They are attacking and defoliating…
Feeling Some Nudges? Having Some “Aha” Moments?
So you’ve been feeling some nudges, hearing some still small voices, having some “aha” moments? I’d like to suggest that God is trying to get through to you! If you are tight in your relationship with God — you go to Him in prayer and study of His Word, you embrace His love and care…
Him I Will Keep in Perfect Peace Whose Mind is Stayed on Me
That’s my sweetheart in the photo – so at peace during one of our Belize missions. I posted this message, 25 days after we received the Stage 4 Kidney Cancer diagnosis. I have friends encountering some major life storms, as we did, and I want to share how we made it through the rough waters.…
