As I began to think of so many around me, both friends and family members — what I am writing here is probably nothing I could share with them. As a matter of fact, I really couldn’t think of anyone whom I know, and know of their family situation, that I could easily say these…
February was filled with days of blessings with our precious babies at Albina – and our ‘kids’ at Barza Mica. It has been JOY to hold and love, sing to and feed these little ones. We have a couple of new babies. I only know Maria’s name so far. She is a joy – always…
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…

All of this because of covid! However, early in December, the mayor…
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given” – Isaiah 9.6a — a familiar verse – one set to song – seen on many Christmas cards. I love best the old, ‘tried and true’ Christmas carols. I love ‘Silent Night’ composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by…
The Updates are beginning to sound like a ‘broken record’. There are still, many, many deaths from covid in Romania from people who are very afraid to take the vaccine – even medical personnel. Our ‘kids’ at Barza Mica were forced to take the vaccine-booster shot – and many have been very ill following it….
The Apostle Paul says in Ephesians 3.2 – “If indeed you have heard of the administration of God’s grace which was given to me for you;” And on such a small, small level, I believe the administration of God’s grace was given to me for the ‘helpless and the hopeless’ – ‘the least of these’…
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…
