I recently heard a pastor of a large church in California say that he preferred Isaiah over David concerning the trust/fear issue. In his prophecy, Isaiah said (12.2), ‘I will trust, and will not be afraid’. In Psalm 56.3, when seized by the Philistines in Gath, David said, ‘What time I am afraid, I will…
My heart is still overflowing with JOY concerning the Matching Fund for ‘Project Upstairs’ in February and March. Work is progressing on the upstairs – and with God’s help, it will be completed so that there will be no more threat from the Romanian government of closing the doors to Canaan, our church. Praise God…
Back in the 1980’s, Sandi Patty and Larnelle Harris sang a duet unparalleled to any other, in my mind, anyway – “I’ve Just Seen Jesus”. It moved me like no other piece of Christian music ever had at that time. (See lyrics to the chorus at bottom of page.) And I have ‘seen’ Jesus more…
What a month we had in March! (and February that wasn’t ready to be reported on, yet). Both good and an incident, not so good. But I choose to focus on the good in this report. A godly couple approached me concerning a matching-fund of $5000.00 for ‘Project Upstairs’. This project concerns finishing the upstairs…
One September many years ago, my boys and I were running a little late to get to our Christian School on time. After going to the car, it came to me that I had forgotten a book that I would need that day. I rushed up the back steps, burst through the door — and…
Amazing news in February! A couple who wished to remain anonymous offered a matching donation of $5000.00 if others collectively gave that much during the month of February. I am happy to announce that not only did faithful supporters – and some new ones – meet the match, but it was exceeded! That means there…
Generally, every February I dedicate this space to having something to do with ‘love’. Here in New England, February can also be the ‘flu and storm month’, but given that Valentine’s Day greets us with a note of positivity (for most), I like to write about one of the three major ‘loves’ – briefly, eros,…
There has not been a lot of change with Love From Above in Romania since last month. One wonderful bit of news is ‘Project Upstairs’! It concerns the upstairs to our church, Canaan in Halchiu, needing to be finished or the government will shut the church down. That’s the law. Having put out an email…
2020 is gone. It is over. Never were people so happy to kick a year to the curb. It was the ‘year that was’! I heard Charles Swindoll say recently, “Other than the normal difficulties a year can bring, Covid-19 ignited a powder keg of emotions that exploded one by one – like walking through…
We made it! We did it! We pulled through! The pandemic of 2020 is not over, nor the wake that it has created, but we found out that we were stronger and more resilient than perhaps we thought we were. Not only were my first thoughts when I had to leave Romania on an emergency…
