I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, that when our kids were young Leonie helped them learn to “see” God at work all around them. It was usually something like a beautiful moment in the natural world, or a fortunate turn of events that would be accompanied...
…it’s February!!! Is it just me…or does it seem like Christmas was about a week ago…and NOW it’s February?!?!? Where’d the last month go? Schools are doing the “staggered start”…teachers last week…a couple of private schools are already in class & public schools kick-off this week. Life has...
My Bible reading time this morning included this: “After John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, where he preached God’s Good News. “The time promised by God has come at last!” he announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the Good News!” – Mark...
21 January 2025 I didn’t watch it, but I was relieved to see that the US Presidential Inauguration Ceremony took place without incident. It is one of the many follow-on blessings of Christianity that countries in the Western world have devised tried & true systems for...

You probably didn’t know that…that I love talking to people. Or did you? Well…I do. So…I’m in the checkout line & my cart is overflowing (we have a house-full next week) and the woman in line behind me has one of those little carry-on-your-arm baskets with...
