Holly and I are now here in Colorado full time. No, we are not retiring. We are simply reorganizing for the next chapter of our lives. After my heart attack almost three years ago, it was clear my lifestyle would have to change. I am feeling great and I am on a great cardio program. It’s just that I cannot keep the pace I kept in the Washington, D.C. area. After much prayer and much counseling from old and wise friends we were advised overwhelmingly to set up base here in Colorado and let … [Read more...]

Happy Valentines Day❤️ This is the best Valentines gift ever- a new heart! What great news! His work is to seek and save, to rescue the lost. Here in the mountains we have an amazing “Search and Rescue” team. They are trained to go and seek out lost or injured hikers. They put their own lives in danger to find them and bring them to safety. The lost are found and rescued from their perilous state. One of those lost ones was me. In December of 1969 Jesus saved me. I heard about … [Read more...]

Dear Friends and Family, Holly and I are now residents of Westcliffe, Colorado! Holly is walking down the snow covered lane that leads to our cabin. The mountains behind her are the Sangre de Christo mountains. In Spanish it means the “Blood of Christ”. This is rural Colorado. Our neighbors are ranchers and horse people whose ancestors homesteaded this valley. Our little town does not have a red light, but we have a four way stop that we are all mighty proud of! We are NOT retired. We … [Read more...]

One of the last things Jesus said to His disciples was, “ I call you my friends”. When Jesus spoke of friendships He was talking about a brotherhood of men who are “ all in”. Two character traits of brothers being all in are: 1) Winners take responsibility. Looser's blame others.   If you surround yourself with winners even when it is wrong they will eventually find a way to make it right. Each man takes responsibility and does not blame others for their mistakes. They … [Read more...]

So happy to find this in my old files😃 This saved us when we were in the pits of despair😖 In 1987 Jerry had lost his job and we were being sued . Pain and heartache everyday 💔. I prayed, he prayed, our kids prayed. A friend sent me these words of Truth. Jerry was laying on the sofa depressed and anxious ...I began to read this to him. We both wept. We had been believing lies.We thought we were ruined, we thought God couldn’t make good out of this, that we were all … [Read more...]

Our grandkids now range from a high school sophomore to a three year old. It seems like just yesterday WE were high school sophomores falling in and out of “love” and surfing USA! What happened? There is not a day that goes by that we do not praise the Lord for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It changed 4 generations in our family. … [Read more...]

Dear Friends, Jerry and Holly are spending a busy summer in ministry activities in Westcliffe, Colorado.   They regularly host spiritual retreats at the cabin.  The magnificent views from each window bring to mind Psalm 145:5 “I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty and on your wondrous works “.   The inspirational view is the backdrop for morning devotionals held for individuals or couples who visit for coaching, marriage counseling, renewal and refreshment.  The famous … [Read more...]

Dear Friends, Holly and I wish to deeply thank everyone who has prayed for us during these difficult days. We truly feel that the prayers of God’s people are what kept me breathing. I was completely crushed and incapacitated. I had no ability to fight for myself. God’s people fought on my behalf when they prayed.  When I sensed I was at the end I could only utter one prayer over and over again. I kept repeating the name," Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, have mercy upon me.”   While I was repeating the … [Read more...]

From Holly, "The photo on the left was taken Tuesday Night 5/10/2016. The photo on the right is one day later after Jerry had suffered a heart attack. What  a difference a day makes!

Love & blessings, Holly ❤️🙏❤️" … [Read more...]
