Dear Friend, Here it is, May already. Can you believe it? I love the month of May. Forty-four years ago, I received a beautiful gift for Mother’s Day—my daughter, Paula. (I’m smiling.) As I am writing this letter, I’m looking across the table at another precious gift: My grandson, Levi, who is now almost two
Dear Friend, Last month I shared about a difficult situation I have been working through with a man I called “Hank.” I did business with him recently, and he failed to uphold the terms of our agreement. I wanted to get angry and show my displeasure with him, but the Lord showed me how to
Dear Friend, Have you ever had a problem letting go of a wrong that was done to you? Recently, I did business with someone to the tune of four thousand dollars. (I’ll call him “Hank” because I don’t want to expose him.) Unfortunately, Hank did not honor our agreement. When this first happened, I found
Dear Friend, Every now and then I go through First Corinthians chapter 13 to remind myself how the love of God can help us become more like our Heavenly Father. I find it amazing that the Apostle Paul spent enough time in prayer and in God’s Presence to be able to change from a man

Dear Friend, Thank you for helping me pray for all of the Satanists, witches, warlocks, and lost and deceived people last month. It really blesses my heart to give Jesus an opportunity to touch their lives. Just one encounter with Jesus can dramatically change their lives—it sure did mine, amen. Look how much one encounter

When Paul made this statement, he was talking to Christians who were being deceived by false apostles
Dear Friend, I’ve found that as I’ve been searching the Bible for more of an understanding of God’s love, I’ve started to see what really matters in life. It isn’t “works”—it’s relationship that touches the heart of God. I love my children, grandchildren, and my great grandson. I can’t see that my love for them
Dear Friend, I’ve been going through the scriptures that speak about love recently, and “love” is mentioned 468 times in the Bible—there must be something to it (I’m smiling).
