Lehitra’ot! (Goodbye in Hebrew). I’m Off to the Promised Land!
It's been a dream of mine for many years to travel abroad to the land of Israel. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I longed to go to the land where he walked and visit the sights where he ministered and brought healing, deliverance, and transformation through the good news of the gospel that brings salvation to all who believe and receive (Rom 10:9). Now that dream is being fulfilled, and my journey will begin in Tel Aviv for a 10-day pilgrimage and tour of the Holy Land, led by Messianic rabbi,...
The Good News of Easter! Live in Triumph!
It was pandemonium in the streets of Jerusalem, and the news spread like wild fire!The tomb was empty!That’s right! The place where they laid the body of Jesus, after crucifying him on the cross, was empty! Jesus was gone!Some believe his body was stolen, and hidden. But that’s not the case.

Does the End Justify the Means?
The alarm rings earlier than usual this morning. 4:10 to be exact. I am meeting a group of ladies to run the bridge with them. I rouse myself to the kitchen to steep some hot tea while I shower. It seems silly to take a shower before you run. I need it to wake up. I’m not used to running before the crack of dawn. Why so early I think to myself? How do they do it? It’s quiet and dark on the road. I arrive at our 4:50 AM meet-up spot on time. We start our run together. The ladies are engaging...
Achieve to the End: What it Takes to Reach a Goal.
One of the shortfalls for making changes in our life is that they often don’t seem to last. Diets almost always fail; our efforts towards being more active falls by the wayside; and the goals we were once excited to make are forgotten or ignored. Life seems to get in the way, and old patterns die hard. We feel frustrated and sometimes give up, telling ourselves, “It’s too hard,” or “I can’t do it.” What it boils down to is consistency. Either we stay the course, or we don’t. Sure, we may...
Oh Death Where Is Your Sting
Recently my sisters and I buried my mother. She had been sick for a while, and the truth is we lost her soul (mind, will & emotions) two years ago when she fell victim to the ravaging effects of Dementia. Still, she lived, albeit in a bed ridden state, and she was well cared for by my sister Kinsey and brother-in-law Rick. We expected her passing, even prayed for it, wanting her to be released from a decaying body and united with other loved ones, my father, brother, aunts, grandparents,...
