Just a year ago, I was probably as close to being on my death-bed as I ever will until I’m – on my death-bed. From what I could discern, I had Influenza A. My symptoms fulfilled every symptom mentioned concerning the virus on a particular website. A dear friend wanted to take me to a hospital in…
Happy, Happy Spring!! I hope and pray that Massachusetts has seen the last of snow for 2026!! I look forward to Resurrection Day! What a time of joyous celebration over the death, burial AND resurrection of our King of kings – JESUS! SO much went on last month that concerns Love From Above in Romania –…
I, ____________, have been sent on ‘special assignment’ by Christ as part of God’s master plan. – Colossians 1.1 When I grew up, I remember of pastors, parents, others asking if one was in God’s ‘will’ for their life.
