I remember that when I was a classroom teacher I would be so happy to meet my many new students but would, inevitably, catch a cold from some foreign germ. Just one cold and then I was set for the year! So guess what – second week in and a monster cold. I even missed…

I would like to the answer the question here, Who Controls the Holy Spirit but first – the Stable. It is called a worship hall for worship and prayer gatherings but was once a barn/stable. There are floors now where there were none and that’s how I feel about intercessary prayer. There is a wonderful…

I’m already a bit tall but when I enter worship I straighten up and put my shoulders back and want to reach toward Heaven. I have noticed how being together restarts and corrects my week with hope. It has been a week and today I had the pleasure of visiting a sister church to a…

I’m getting to know people from eleven different countries who are here to study missions. The questions we answered to outline our introduction are the following: A little about where you grew up and what your family was like. How you became a Christian? One big highlight of your life? (of course, mine was Nate…

So I have been typing Wiler, Switzerland but ‘W’ is pronounces ‘V’. I hope the spelling above helps my American friends! First day of October and angels showed up on the train yesterday to help me find my way. It is currently 3 PM Swiss time and my body is telling me to go take…

In three days I leave for Wiler, Switzerland for YWAM 50 Plus. The suitcase is pretty full but I am still eyeing some books I’ve been wanting to read. One that is thick will probably be left behind. Hans Kung wrote “The Church”. I have yellow markings up to page 114 and have turned down…

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…
