At Wiler with YWAM 50+, we spend a week in November with a variety of missions people. All had different locations and experiences. Daniel was an amazing teacher with brilliant visuals. I recently shared a photo of me standing in a GIANT pair of boots. I would never get far in these (especially if a…

Two Things
I’m not sure why ancient memories pop up but here are two. My Mother was sweet and kind. She did not object or correct me for these two things but I could see her confusion and disapproval. Eyes are so telling. They were both events that I thought she would enjoy. 31 flavors ice cream…
A Truck Is Coming
All week I have looked like a hillbilly. Don’t be mad if you are a hillbilly but I broke a front tooth and do not look like me to me. It takes a nasty shot to numb the front of your mouth so the dentist gave me nitrous oxide for the first time. I still…
Why Do We Invite Death?
Atrocity, after atrocity. Hamas attacks. Young men murder strangers because old men hate other old men. Where is the border? People divorce others they claimed to love for years. Abortion. There is never enough. Another cancer victim. Lust and lies. A friend sends a nasty text. We stand at the door with an umbrella, looking…
The Topics
I should have started with this topic list a few months ago. I am, very slowly, reviewing my YWAM notes. I’ve written through Original Design but here are the twelve weeks of topics: Relationship, Contemplative Prayers, Character and Nature of God and Father Heart of God, Giving up Rights and Holy Spirit, Prophecy, Original Design,…
Humble Pie
I always think of the Sermon on the Mount when I see the word ‘humble’ in scripture. I don’t know why. My New Kings James Version refers to the poor in spirit, mourners, meek, those hungering for righteousness, the merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and the persecuted. There are so many promises to those. Eating…
It Is So Dark
Proverbs 4:19 The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble. Another wicked day with Israel declaring war after Hamas launched thousands of rockets. What choice did they have? A previous leader stated that, “You cannot make peace with those who come to kill you”. There is no…
Jesus is the Same
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, YES and forever. Today the Catholic Synod Begins with Pope Francis opening a gathering of Roman Catholic delegates today in Vatican City. I walked those grounds just six months ago. The artist’s vendors and religious items are beautiful and people visiting really respect a kind…
Will There Be Search and Rescue?
I am looking at the list in my prayer journal of dear people who I love but do not think are following Jesus. I know – how arrogant of me – but not so fast. Last night I watched a very lengthy description of the various incarnations (versions) of the Bible. I know the Bible…
If You Feel Like an Outsider
It depends on you but can be a good thing. I have made a habit of this under certain circumstances but my model is Jesus. Jesus took it to the level of calling people out of places to better places. I do not have that skill but I do have good sense. I had joined…
