I love the book of Hebrews. It is because I had an excellent professor who taught the class, Willard Black, at San Jose Bible College. That very good school has since moved to the Sacramento area in California and is called William Jessup University. It was the spring quarter in 1971. I would leave at…

I have lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1993. I remember needing a raincoat in 1993 and purchased a long red vinyl coat with a flannel hood. I wore it a lot and it did not survive very well. The next raincoat was also red (power color) but also easy to recognize if you are…

Ps 138:3 “On the day I needed You, I called, and you responded and infused my soul with strength.” (the Voice) I try to keep my eyes on the road but was on the backroad in Woodinville along the railroad tracks. People walk their dogs and other dogs along that stretch on road (nearby pet…

Shout out to Canyon Hills Missions Go Team. What a fun send off for me and two other missions people heading to a different part of the world. I enjoyed the lunch and prayer time. I have spent five years under the leadership of Pastors Corey & Aaron. People rub off on each other. Think…

I’m excited to be welcomed so warmly by the training staff and to look forward to meeting students from Korea, Australia, others from USA, plus several other countries. Our final destination will be Amsterdam and I’ll keep…

I thought they were fleabites but then my allergy to mosquitos took over. Have you ever begged God to help you? I have had a couple of prayers going up and am so grateful. Firstly, my VISA was approved on Friday and you can be sure my passport was on the way, same day. The…

Years ago I was having a casual conversation about demons after church (ha ha – no one has casual conversations about evil). I had no opinion but then a friend said, “Jesus believed in demons” and that settled it for me. I understand there are powers working against God and so I expect a bit…

Is a shout-out the same as boasting? I think not. Boasting is about me. A shout-out is about others. So many shout-outs – my heart is full. Because I will be away, I’ve spent time in Idaho and Texas with my children and grandchildren. I will be back soon but these memories are precious: hikes,…

James 4:14-16 “…yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will LIVE (yes, God is in charge of that too) and do this or that’. As…

Thank you for following me as I work at following Jesus. I make a habit of reading the daily devotions in Our Daily Bread. On Monday, I read Deuteronomy 4:9-14 and I hope this all sounds familiar. Quoting the devotion, “One of the most wonderful ways parents and grandparents can influence their children is by…
