I don’t know if you ever watched the early 2000’s TV show, ‘Monk’ starring Tony Shalboub, but I enjoyed the show from time to time. Shaloub’s character was Adrian Monk, a brilliant former San Francisco detective. Monk suffered from an obsessive-compulsive disorder. But in spite of that – or perhaps because of that, he seemed…
My months go by like weeks! I can’t believe we are in November already! As usual the ministry is busy, busy, busy! In October, LFA has: – bought all the legume (veggies) for our ‘kids’ at Barza Mica for the next six months – and to the tune of $6040.00!! God provided a miracle in…
Before cigarette commercials were banned on American television in 1971, I remember a really attractive cigarette commercial targeting women. Their slogan was ‘You’ve come a long way, baby!’ The commercial was well done and if you were a woman and had never smoked, it made you want to. My family and the church I grew…
– Fall has quickly set in here in Romania. I’m a warm-weather/sunshine person, but as usual we all in the colder climates have to deal with it! Cold weather means more expense for the ministry, though. Love From Above helps our church, Canaan, with wood and gas, some elderly widows, and of course, Ukraine. –…
Many years ago when we were building our home in Massachusetts, we needed to pick out every last thing that would go in and on that house.

“Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.” – Acts 4.13 Amazed: astonished; extremely surprised. I love that word. I love it that ‘learned men’ who met up with ‘unlearned men’…
First of all, I am truly praising our Almighty God, for a safe and relatively uneventful trip back to the ‘other’ land that I love! Robert picked me up in Bucharest this time and we yakked, yakked, yakked, all the way back up to Brasov – even stopped for a hot dog (kind of) on…
In 2025, America will celebrate the 249th birthday of its independence from Great Britain on July 4th, a date also known as Independence Day. This day commemorates the ratification of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which marked the birth of the United States of America. Independence Day from 1776…
I’ve recently booked my tickets from Boston to Bucharest for July 5, 2025. It seems like much longer than just a little over two months since I left the ‘other’ land that I love. It has been a busy couple of months for Love From Above both in the States and in Romania. A really…
