Happy Father’s Day to all those who are blessed to have godly fathers. My Dad was terrific, he went to heaven when I was 18. I know many had terrible fathers and some grew up without a father at all. What a great God we have who tells us He Himself is a father to the fatherless. I have taken Him at His word and He has always been there for me. In college, I would run across the street to the chapel to show Him my grades. Eventually, some of my college friends would go with me and I could tell … [Read more...]

The Texas Heart Institute in Houston has found that only a third of my heart is working now. My only option is open-heart surgery scheduled for Monday. It will be a double bypass surgery.

"Do not leave your post" is an exhortation from the book of Ecclesiastes  10:4 in the Bible. The teaching here tells us that even in an extremely difficult situation we must not leave our post. Never, never never leave our post! Even for a little while, because a lot can happen in a little while. There is also a teaching in Ecclesiastes that is true and is to be taken seriously. In the last verse of chapter 9, it says “ One sinner destroys much”. Spilling over into chapter 10:1 it says, “ Dead … [Read more...]

Dear Friends, I am lying in bed here in our little loft we love so much. I'm looking out over the snow. My knee replacement surgery went well. Great doctors and great care in a great hospital in Denver. The pain yesterday was really tough. I felt ambushed by it. I'm always overly optimistic about " punching through it". My dear Holly has been taking such good care of me. That gal has a lot of love in her heart. ❤️  One of the highlights of my hospital stay was being able to speak … [Read more...]
