This morning we are on our way for 9 weeks of ministry in Ghana. We’re asking that God make it fruitful. We can’t wait to see our friends there. I feel like I know a little of what Paul felt when he was away from the believers he had shared so much with. We miss […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters

https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/letters/ We minister in Ghana, West Africa and drive all over the country. Everywhere we go there are small shops with unique and inventive names. Many of the names are religious, some are wildly funny, but this one stood out from the rest. I think the owner is saying, Hey, I know this is a […]

How Paul’s Two Questions Can Change Your Life

In a blinding experience on a dusty road from Jerusalem to Damascus Paul the Pharisee met Jesus Christ. He was transformed and translated in a moment. Born again as he met the risen glorified Christ and in that same moment ‘translated’ from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. If we’re […]

The Missing Chapters of My Husband’s Story

. . .we spend our years as a tale that is told. Psalm 90:9 Do you ever think of your life that way? As a story that is told. Page after page revealing the details, the wheres and whys, the who’s and whens of it. After almost 30 years of marriage I know my husband’s […]

You Might Only Have One Opportunity Like This One

Today I almost missed a great opportunity. By the time we arrived at the village I was feeling terrible. Several times I’ve been tired, hot, & sore from being jostled around in the backseat of the truck, but this was different. I felt no physical energy and no spiritual motivation.

Because You Shared A Cup of Cold Water

Does God speak in hyperbole? Is He prone to exaggeration and blathering? No. When God promises a reward for even an offered cup of cold water He means to give it. But, the reward tells me that it means something to God, personally to Him, that we think of the thirsty around us. In most […]
