Do You Long for Peace?
“The mob rocked our friends’ cars. Kids were inside. They’ve threatened to target our kids on the school buses. Some women are taking their kids back to the states.

9/11 & 2020 – Never Forget!
“Wake up! A plane just crashed into the World Trade Center.” Keith taught the night before, and we’d gone to bed around midnight. Standing transfixed on the television, I’m weeping. He’s trying to make sense of what we’re seeing.

How Is the Pandemic Affecting Your Marriage?
God’s gift of marriage takes us on adventures, mountaintops and valleys, successes and trials. How are you and your spouse doing during this pandemic?

Peace in the Tangles
Throughout the weeks, I’ve noticed a spike in the number of people visiting this blog and reading the posts focused upon depression, trouble, hope, and prayer. I adapted some of my posts and Bible study helps that I’ve written in the past to create a booklet. Additional Scriptures to consider are included at the end…
