• Birth

  

  The question he asked was, “Why don’t we know Jesus better?” I swear I heard, “Why are you even here?” Why don’t we know Jesus better? The flight to Israel from Germany was a nice 5-hour ride over mountains, waters, and lands I couldn’t name. Millions of people speaking in tongues not heard much in…

• Thoughts on Gardens of Kindness

  

  Yeah, we boarded a plane in our desert land to explore a country green and rainy with red roofed houses. The flight was long.

• The Breath of God

• We Are All Vulnerable

  

  The virus is endemic and will infect all eventually. The vaccinated and unvaccinated alike will to varying degrees feel the impact. We are all vulnerable. As I am giving the details to my oldest son, it occurred to him what I was going through. “Mom, is this the first time you have had a parent…
