Years ago I made a trip to Germany with a dear friend. I want to share with you some highlights of that wonderful adventure of being led by God’s Spirit, sharing the faith, love, and peace from God we’d experienced, watching it touch the lives of hurting people. Before leaving home, we had no idea what God had in store…
Today I am 82 years old, born on St. Nicholas Day, December 6, 1939. St. Nicholas, a 4th century Greek bishop, would commonly leave coins in people’s shoes at night and dedicated his entire life to serving people who were sick and suffering. Perhaps I should have left my shoes outside last evening, in hopes of receiving a gift in…
Today on Radio Horeb I mentioned how the Lord spoke to me about whether or not to get the vaccine. When I just checked my stats I had 400 views! I think many people are looking for help with this question. So I am posting my May e-newletter where I shared how the Lord used a dream to help me…
Remember Rahab, the harlot, and how she saved herself and her family from death? When this lady-of-the-night heard about the Lord and what He had done for His people, she believed in Him and did what she was instructed: hang a scarlet cord in her window (Josh 2:1-21). Because we are human and God is a Spirit, we need something…

They have real faith in a living God, a faith that consistently informs their responses to life’s choices and challenges. Looking back—the phenomenon that was Sarah…
When our 3rd grader was afraid to give his book report in school, I did what the Bible said: I took him to Jesus. As I prayed, my son stopped me and said, “Mom, Jesus is here, and he’s pulling all this gray stuff out of my heart.” The fear was totally gone! God’s power works through faith My topic…
The pain was excruciating, I couldn’t sit long. On our home-buying flight to Boston, I had to lie on the floor of the airplane. Now in the doctor’s office I heard, “There is nothing I can do for you. Your pain is probably caused by deep varicose veins. I am sorry, but the only thing I can give you is…
We had been sightseeing along the southern California coast and had just stopped at a motel for the night. After being in the car much of the day, our three restless sons had quickly changed into their swim suits and were about to jump into the swimming pool. “Mom, I don’t feel good; my head hurts,” my ten year old…
One bright autumn morning I needed to take our son for his weekly oncology visit, but our family sedan wouldn’t start. When I turned the key, all I heard was a click. I started to react and feel sorry for myself: Here I am alone, with a tremendous responsibility on my shoulders. My husband couldn’t help me—he was on a…
