Several years ago, I taught music at one of the large inner-city high schools in Providence, RI. Two doors down from my room, was the art room. I was friends with the art teacher, and every once in awhile on my planning period, I would stick my head in his door to see what medium…
I am so grateful to have landed in Bucharest via Atlanta and Paris on February 5 safe and sound. The trip is grueling, at best – but when it is uneventful, I feel so blessed. It’s wonderful to be back in my home (my little flat in Brasov)! I took the first week to get…
It seems as if every year during the month of February, our minds think – ‘love’! Pretty natural with it’s containing the most romantic holiday of the year – Valentine’s Day. But there are several different types of love. I want to just briefly share four of them with you, and then give you an…
Loved meeting up with friends in Northern Georgia in January! John and Linda Goetz drove from N. Carolina to visit, and to bring boxes of beautiful warm clothing to be shipped out by a Romanian company in the Suwanee (GA) area. John is on Love From Above’s Board – and both he and Linda are…
“The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses His people with peace.” – Psalm 29.11 God’s plan for us – is peace. At times, reality – is depression. Or fear. Confusion. Hopelessness.

I trust that you all had a wonderful Christmas! A Christmas full of the celebration of Christ, the Savior. It seems as though I barely had time to get used to writing 2018, and here it is 2019, already! The last month of 2018 was productive for our Lord’s work through Love From Above in…
Several years ago when my three boys were young, we were invited to attend a presentation of a Christmas Cantata at my aunt and uncle’s church. I was also asked to play Christmas music on the piano before and after the service, and for the offertory. The church was about an hour and a half…
“A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.” – Proverbs 18.16 Love From Above continued with the purchase of prescription and OTC meds in November for our babies and ‘kids’. We also bought a door for a building we are renovating on the same property as Barza Mica. This building…
Part I I remember being five years old and watching our church burn flat on the crossroads of Routes 1 and 6 in the backwoods of Maine. An oil truck had stopped on the corner, and for whatever reason, exploded. It was miraculous that no one, not even the driver was harmed, but…
I praise God for a safe and uneventful trip back to the States on October 10. How difficult to leave our precious babies and ‘kids’, though! Please pray over these cast-off ones for their angels to be so close to them, to protect them and shelter them from the cruelty of the orphanage workers.
