In February, Jerry and I were waiting in the podiatrist’s exam room for him to have his foot x-rayed. So as to encourage him, I said, “There is light at the end of the tunnel.” His response was, “Are you sure it is not a locomotive?” I said, gently, “Yes, I am sure.”...
Contentment vs. Anxiety
Why has it taken so long for me to write this post? It is not because I have been at my task of caring for Jerry. It is not because there are not enough hours in the day to witness of the Lord’s goodness ~ this is the reason I write. Titles come so very easily, but...
Christ in the Heart of a Caregiver
Today marks our fifty-sixth anniversary. If you knew how we started, and what we had to work through, you would wonder how we made it this far. Had it not been for the Lord Jesus Christ, I would not be here, and being a servant to my husband would not have been an...

Over the decades we have learned what agents are effective for certain needs. Jerry and I should have bought stock in The Clorox Company when we first married almost fifty-six years ago, since it is the most powerful solution for mildew and especially for bloodstains....

For the world, contentment cost nothing more than what money can afford. A divine contentment was purchased by the blood of Christ; for those who are His followers, born of His Spirit. The love of God was revealed for His children by the death of His Son; purchasing...
Jesus’ Donkey
Have you ever seen a donkey standing out in a field? I am not familiar with donkeys but whenever I see one, it seems to be waiting for something or someone to direct it. God could just as easily have called us his donkeys instead of his sheep. But there are only a few...
