When Storm’s Rise. Where Big Meaning is found in Small Words. And a Children’s Story.

Some days.  Big words don’t flatter.  Like at 6:00 a.m.  Three girls.  With three different problems.  Needing coddling.  And talking.  While, stomach refuses coffee. Some days.  The King James Version, sounds like Greek and Hebrew. More than English.  Brain fogged with counseling.  And phone calls.  And court dates for kids that keep on needing…. So much. […]

What would you ask a pastor in inland China? Well, we had the chance.  Three plane flights in. Taxi ride winding around. Obstacles of people.  Crunched in seat.  Feeling every windy, sharp turn.  Smelling fumes rising…..like the breakfast in my stomach…..from that morning. Wondering…Are we ever going to get to that church?  The one we felt […]
