Dear Friend, I hardly know where to begin. I have so many things I want to share that it’s hard to find a place to begin. The months of May and June are the months we honor our mothers and fathers, and I want to share some of the things I’ve observed over the years.
Dear Friend, Did you ever wonder how everything can look so beautiful, but the war in the spirit is still raging? I’ve come to the conclusion that Satan never takes a vacation. He just has to be kicked out. It can be a battle to keep our mind on what the Lord has to say
Dear Friend, Spring is here, yeah! I love it—watching the things that are dormant come to life. Sometimes I marvel at the miracle that unfolds when, say for instance, my irises die at the end of the season, then in the spring, they start coming up again with new leaves and new flowers.

Dear Friend, Last week I had the privilege to have some of our church’s young adults over for dinner. They brought a young man over whom I met for the first time about six years ago. He’s from New Zealand. I have to tell you that I’m not very easily impressed, but they all impressed

Dear Friend, This Christmas I’m celebrating the birth of Jesus with more gratitude than I’ve ever felt—the love that our Father has bestowed upon us with His Son so we can have life and share eternity with Him. Thank God Joseph took heed when an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,
Dear Friend, Here it is November. Time seems to be passing so fast. I’ll soon be seventy years old, and mentally, I really don’t feel that age. The Lord has been very gracious with me. His love and mercy have seen me through some hard places in my life. Without Him, I know for sure
