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. Our pastor, Ovidiu Starlici has been holding ‘church’ in the courtyard of a friend following the government’s strict guidelines. (Pics are available…
Several years ago there was a wonderful man in our church and when we learned that he had Stage Four cancer at only 48 years old, we were all deeply saddened and shocked. One day for no particular reason, or so I thought, I decided to make this gentleman a fish chowder. I knew that…
I am amazed, disappointed and definitely bewildered as to how the mainstream, and at one time, evangelical church in America has moved so far from the teaching of the Scripture. Where the idea – the meme – or from whom it began several years ago, I don’t know, but one-time evangelical pastors are now telling…

Loved having the Tompi’s (Robert and Alina) to my…
February has never been my favorite month of the year. Actually, no winter month is a favorite of mine. But, in New England where I come from, February is notoriously known as ‘flu month’ and ‘storm/nor’easter/frigid-cold month’. That’s not a good combination.

SO blessed to have been in GA with four of my grandchildren now for a couple of months. The ministry never stops, but Belle, Noah, Lily and Rowan have been a wonderful and much welcomed interruption nearly every day. Liam and Jace added even more of a wonderful distraction joining us at Christmas time with…
