Mark stopped running! The teasing about his faith was too much today. He thought that he could stand tall and declare his beliefs, in spite of the heckling and being called "Jesus-Boy" in such nasty tones. He's not ashamed of Jesus, but the only reason he wears this jacket with "Jesus Saves" on the back... Continue Reading →
I believed that I had no useful purpose in the world. I worked for the local telephone company, and all day long, I answered people's complaints with their computers or printers. While I knew that the work was important, I felt like a cog in a machine, not someone offering a uniqueness perspective to people... Continue Reading →
I remember a time when I did not patiently endure what was happening in my life, so mad I was at God for a child's suffering that I could not pray. Thankfully, God sent an angel who prayed for my son and me, and everything ended well. In the psalm today, Psalm 39, David was... Continue Reading →
These flowers were in the Municipal Park in Elche, Spain. They looked like mums, but may not be. They look as though God himself painted them that vibrant yellow that soothes our souls.

Every time I stand or sit on the beach, I regret not knowing how to swim. I wish that I had learned how to swim when I was a little girl. But, as I wrote before, my mother did not let me learn to swim, ride a bike, or skate, stating that I might get... Continue Reading →
On the flight to Spain, I grew bored with my entertainment, reached into the seat-back pocket, and found a throwaway airplane ragazine. Expecting nothing, I leafed through it and found an article on the Blue Zones. Blue Zones were regions where records have been kept and that show an unusually high percent of people living...
