You may not believe this, but February is not only ‘Love’ month, but it is also Nat’l Cancer Prevention Month, Nat’l Fasting Month, Self-Check Month and Enrolled Agents Month. Other days of observation in February are Free and Open Source Software Month (what?!), American Heart Month, An Affair to Remember Month (again, what?!), President’s Month,…
GREAT news!! Lord willing, I leave for my beloved Romania on February 2. I can hardly wait!! This will be a quick trip – just six weeks. I would truly appreciate prayer for everything to go well with the airports – and with covid testing. Please pray that my knee would heal up really well…
I had read every bit of information that had been given me and had diligently listened to several medical assistants explain to me the recovery process of an arthroscopic procedure I would need. I knew that there would be at least a six-week healing process involved including physical therapy twice a week. I knew all…
So many wonderful things went on in December, 2021! In the Fall, Ovi had been denied taking a Christmas celebration (true meaning of Christmas, small gifts, and goodies) into the public schools – or even holding a Christmas program in our church, Canaan.

I am writing this from my home in Norton, MA. I arrived back in the States on October 4 – almost in one piece. I did significant injury to my right knee while disembarking the plane in Frankfurt. It was the knee that I had been favoring since a high school injury. Being in a…
I have long observed – not judged – but just observed the lifestyle of Christians and where they seem to be comfortable in their walk with Christ. Some are what I call ‘sold-out-to-Jesus Christ’ Christians. Some are satisfied with becoming a church officer, Sunday School teacher, musician, take-up-the-offering-person, committee member, etc. Some are nominal Christians,…
