Holy Saturday – In Between Day – It’s the Day After – A Day to be Sad – REALLY?
My best EVER friend died yesterday. He was my closest friend. How can life go on without Him? It’s the day after, and I have to be the one to handle the responsibilities of planning the funeral, the burial, notifying relatives, and handling so many other details of what to do without Him. They say…
Passion Week — Holy Monday
At this time in March, last year, I was inquiring about a Holy Lands trip. The “inquiring” became a PASSIONATE “YES, I’m going!” and soon I made my full payment for the trip. That full payment changed my life forever. I was THERE where my Lord walked, taught, healed and most importantly became my Savior.…
My Faith Journey Pilgrimage Begins TODAY!

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.…
“V” is for VICTORY
Knowing my Honey would have a major surgery the next day, I called on my “walking/praying” buddies, Karen and Sheila. It was time to declare VICTORY as we made our seven laps around the hospital (like Joshua and his troops did, marching around the walls of Jericho). It was a hot day in Tulsa —…
We Will Change the World
What a Motley Crew the disciples were. There’s Peter — one minute he was walking on water by faith, and the next, he was sinking in doubts. He was impulsive, emotional, and, then His worst failure was denying Jesus. And, then there’s Matthew, a dishonest tax collector. And, you gotta’ love Thomas who, to this…
