I read this information recently from one, Sir John Glubb, (1897-1986) the British diplomat who studied four-thousand years of human history and who found that there was a pattern to the decline of great nations. He said that the last stage before collapse is decadence (national massive debt, uncontrolled immigration without assimilation, a loss of…
Little has changed from last month. That’s what a pandemic can do to a world. We are still sending funds to our precious orphans at Barza Mica for food and meds – and funds to Ovi for our folks at Canaan (our church in Halchiu). I praise God that HE has supplied LFA’s ability to…
When I look at my precious orphans in Romania, sometimes I wonder ‘who did she get those beautiful eyes from – her mother or her father?’ Or I look at a little one with his ears sticking out and wonder was it his mother or father who had ears like that? Whose DNA did this…
Just a brief update for the month of May. The situation is pretty much the same in Romania with COVID19. Very few businesses have opened. Churches are not allowed to open yet, though.

As you know, I’m sure, this is a very difficult ‘Update’ to write. We know that every morning we get up and put our feet on the floor, we never know what the day is going to bring. We could never have dreamed that our world would come to a screeching halt in just a…
When I ‘winter’ for a couple of months in Georgia where my oldest and my youngest sons and their families live, I rent an apartment in a ‘gated’ apartment complex. It sounds fancy – and safe, but it is really neither. But, that’s okay. It allows me to be near my four grandchildren in Newnan,…
– It was a long, confusing, and tiring trip involving, unexpectedly, three different airlines to reach Romania from Atlanta, but I so praise my Lord God, the Almighty for delivering me safely. – As usual my first week was spent shaking jetlag and seeing old friends. Loved having the Tompi’s (Robert and Alina) to my…
