This week I was privileged to once again be a guest on Pastor Jo Anne Ramsay’s Speak The Word Live radio program. Since she knew I had visited the Holy Land recently, she was eager to hear my stories and what I observed and learned from the trip. I’ve posted the audio below so you […]

There are few times in my later life when I have said I would never do a certain thing. I learned from my younger days that those things I thought I would never do I often ended up doing – regretting those things that I did out of desperation during rough times and surprised or disheartened […]

Any given day we can get stuck in the muck and mire of life’s sticky little problems and annoyances. We can sputter and flail in a sea of overwhelm or confusion and have a hard time seeing clearly. Sometimes we can even get lost and forget who we are and what our life is supposed to […]
