What will God do with your Lent?
I grew up Baptist, so we didn't do Lent. It wasn't until I was in a seminary where 50 different denominations were represented that I started to even consider observing Lent. Our neighbors were Episcopal and they were fantastic! I was enthralled by their liturgy and...
3 days and counting…
We were sent off by our church body and we have visited with all our kids (of course it's never enough time) and we still have a long list of "to do's" to get finished!!! We haven't even started packing but my closet (the only place I can put stuff and it will stay...
Thoughts on Short Term Mission Trips

They said I was old…
They said I was old because I was blind and had to walk with a stick. So I began to feel old, confined to a bed or a chair as a prisoner of darkness lost in blindness. My 12-year-old granddaughter became my caretaker, which kept her from going to school. I only knew...
