Faith in Mission
A couple I know are on a mission trip in Greece serving the many refugees who have landed there. They have done many such trips and sometimes take another family member with them.

Power of Forgiveness
My friend whose mother is dying has been writing every day. They have received so many miracles, I could just copy her posts. They are so powerful. Today I read about forgiveness.

Another Year of Life and Love
Today was my dad’s birthday. My sisters, brother in law, and son came over to celebrate. It was an all inclusive party as my parents’ anniversary and birthdays all occur within a couple of weeks.

Pope and the Boy
I saw a video today of Pope Francis who was taking questions from children. A boy came to the microphone but was too upset to ask the question. Pope Francis had the boy come right up to him, gave him a big hug, and consoled him as he wept. The boy and the pope had […]
Eye of the Storm
I was listening to music today and the song, “Eye of the Storm”, came on by Ryan Stevenson. It is about relying on and trusting in God when circumstances are beyond your control. I had heard the song several times and noticed that in one verse, the words can change. One time I heard, “. […]
Dad’s Dating Love
This morning my mom read a meditation for the day from the Jesus Always book by Sarah Young. Then realized she hadn’t read the one for yesterday – their wedding anniversary. She read the first line and laughed saying that it sounded just like my dad when they were dating. It said, “You love me because I first […]
