I know the Scripture lends itself to our crying out our praise to our Magnificent God. ‘Shout for joy to God, all the earth’ – Psalms 66.1 and 100.1. All of Psalm 150 concerns itself with shouting out our praise with our voices and musical instruments. Check out Leviticus 9.24 concerning shouting out praise. ‘The…
We are so blessed to be called to be used as Jesus’ eyes and heart, hands and feet – in good times and bad times. COVID-19 continues to wrack and ruin the folks in Romania. Cities are being shut down – folks go into hospitals desperately needing medical attention, but often don’t make it out…
It was eighty-five years ago – November 9, 1935, to be exact – that Freda Elizabeth Cochran and Lewis Ermon Bean became a young married couple in Washington County, Maine. I knew them better as Mama and Daddy. Actually, they were ‘mamaanddaddy’ to me – truly ‘one person’. Their one wedding picture was of them…
October was a busy and wonderful month for Love From Above – apart from my not being able to be in ‘the other land that I love’, Romania! Meds were supplied to the two orphanages (Albina and Barza Mica) – and more than usual to Barza because of the heightened health situation around the world….

This is a familiar story to you — The apostle Paul, formerly known as Saul of Tarsus spent much of his adult life terrorizing and persecuting early followers of Jesus. He seemed to feel it was his duty – that early Christians had just plain gotten it all wrong! But then one day while traveling…
Our world is still upside-down, inside-out, or as my Dad used to say when something in his workshop just wasn’t fitting together right, “ee-yaw”. Well our world’s new ‘abnormal’ is very ‘ee-yaw’! The European Union has closed their borders to any countries from the West which means even if I did want to get back…
I once heard a speaker say that there are three ‘epoch times’ in the life of a follower of Christ. The first is ‘formation’. ‘There is a time to be born . . .’ (Ecclesiastes 3.2) And, August was the month so many years ago that was my ‘formation’ – my time to be born. …
Though it breaks my heart not to be able to be back in ‘the other land that I love’, I am delighted to report that Love From Above has kept up it’s ministry in Romania – and on so many levels. We have continued to supply all the meds for Albina and Barza Mica orphanages…
