I recently listened to a Documentary, “All About Jesus”. The film had to do with the Resurrection of Christ. Was it true? Was it fabricated? Was it to promote a self-serving ideology by the Roman Government at the time? To answer these questions, and discuss whether Jesus truly was bodily raised from the dead was…
I am so grateful to have made it back to the ‘other’ land that I love once again with only minor inconveniences during the trip. And there is never a face more welcome to see when I arrive at Otopeni than Ovi’s. Unbeknownst to me, he had lost his license – again – and had…
I can never enter the month of February without thinking about ‘love’! Even if it weren’t for the copious greeting cards in our faces both online and in stores – all the candy directed towards Valentine’s Day – clothing on display with hearts and ‘I love you’ – ads for the ‘Sweet Day’ in the…
“I will extol You, my God and King, and bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You and praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable.” – Psalm 145:1-3 – Those verses are how I feel towards the fist…
I don’t know what the problem has been all these years, but I am SO not a Monday person! I feel like my brain always fell asleep over the weekend (though I was extremely busy with family, church activities, doing an occasional concert, cooking, baking and cleaning) – but I got up Monday mornings definitely…
Even though my return flight to MA from Romania was cancelled due to severe snowstorms in Germany on December 2, the airline was able to reschedule me for the next day. It was disconcerting, for sure, but in the end, I praise God for a safe and uneventful trip to Boston. After spending 5 months…
Cantata: a composition for one or more voices usually comprising solos, duets, recitatives, and choruses and sung to an instrumental accompaniment. Several years ago when my boys were young, my aunt and uncle invited us to enjoy their church’s Christmas Cantata. I was to be included in the Christmas musical presentation playing carols before the…
AS always, I love seeing everyone back in the States – I have missed folks! – but it also deeply saddens me to have to leave our precious orphans each time. I’ve been asked this before, but just days ago, beautiful Raluca from Barza Mica asked me if I would be her mother – and…
As a scientist, John, I know that you know infinitely more than I ever will (or could) about science and God ‘matching up’. I’ll never forget the message you gave at our church years ago in doing exactly that. I hardly understood a word you said (scientifically), so it might come as a surprise to…
I praise God for ‘Summer-bonus’ days in October. I have been in RO when it snowed at the end of August! And it snows often in October. Our climate is much like New England’s where the saying is, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute . . . “ You never know what…
