April, 2019 – Tad, and His Service to the Lord
tad: a small amount of something. That’s the dictionary’s definition of the word ‘tad’. But this is not the ‘tad’ I am writing about.

March was a busy month. Lots of snow – a broken down laptop – a broken down car – but some really good things, too!
March, 2019 – Sometimes, I Think I am the Potter
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…

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…
December, 2018 – Wonderful!
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…
