Let me start by saying that today had many “bests”. The Van Gogh exhibit at the Palazzo Bonaparte was remarkable. I did not know that Van Gogh’s dad was a pastor and Vincent was a missionary to the miners in the north. His family went to get him when Vincent gave everything he owned to…

Emmanuel is with us – OMNIPRESENT. Josh 1:9 reminds us that, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” OMNISCIENT is all knowing. God knows the end from the beginning and has perfect self-knowledge….

At any point, do contact me on professor details. What I am reflecting on came from these great leaders but I am summarizing what I think is most valuable to me. I am not taking credit for the teaching but merely reflecting. These recollections will have many entries but let’s get started. I call Don,…

It has been a busy last week in Europa. Monday and Tuesday were museos and famous landmarks. I also am working on improving my disciplines since I will soon be back to a real life. There will be no more DTS and outreach. Today I was reminded that I am the same. My defaults set…

We were privileged to have Becca at our DTS. These are my reflections on her teaching and I am attempting to take credit for anything.

I’ve been wanting to tell you about my green raincoat. It is currently spread out in my airB&B getting spot-cleaned for the famous gelato I clumsily dribbled down the front of this green coat. It had stopped raining and the sun came out. The landlady had mentioned a famous gelato place nearby so when I…

The Musei Capitolini in Rome has four collections to enjoy; The Collections, History and Myth, Men and Gods, and Arms and Power. All are artworks on four levels in buildings partially designed by Michelangelo and date back to 1471. Of all the art, what grabbed my attention today was the milliard of granite choices. Italy…

I don’t know if titles are as interesting when they end in a question mark. I have had the pleasure of visiting Florence, Italy – a dream come true. Originally, it was a plan to visit after my DTS and spend some time with one of my sisters. A back injury changed that course but…

Because Jesus died for me before I was born, and because He is over time, my value has not changed. I think that a Discipleship Training School teaches that. Each individual has their own unique DTS experience. God is capable of doing that as He is capable of an outreach that is a unique experience….
