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.
In my study in the Psalms – I mean, a verse-by-verse study of the Psalms (it has been three months and I’m only up to chapter 20) – I have been impressed with how overwhelmingly impressed the Psalmist David was of God’s strength and might and power. And how many times he refers to Him…
Praising God that after 5 weeks of a serious sinus infection, natural meds that my beloved (now, Dr.) Ioana who worked with me for over six years, and all your prayers completely healed me. (I love it that the Lord gave us natural products of the earth to keep our health in tow.)

I’ve seen the plaques/signs at various shops saying – “I can’t do adult today.” Well, Lord – went through most of my morning saying – “I can’t do ‘Christian’ today; I can’t do ‘life’…
So thankful to the Lord to have arrived here in Romania July 12. It was not without some difficulty. Just a few short hours before leaving my home in Norton, MA, Air France let me know that my flight had been cancelled. I love flying, but this is one of the reasons I don’t like…
Remember the words ‘feed me till I want no more’ from the old hymn, Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah? Even though I haven’t heard that hymn in years, it has been playing and playing through my head this morning! So, as I was thinking of returning to my beloved Romania, the reality of my…
The anticipation is great in leaving once again for my beloved Romania on July 11. And our kids at Barza Mica are equally as excited for my return. They don’t know the months, etc., but they do know that when it gets warm, it’s time for me to return. They even sit on a little…
