Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12) What a difference a year makes! When I think back to where I was in January 2023, I’m astounded by all that’s happened in such a short expanse of time to bring me to where I am today. At …
For Christmas this year, David and I were privileged to enjoy a free stay at an oceanfront condo in the FL Keys. No. We didn’t win the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10) Last week, David and I were privileged to deploy to Perry, FL, to assist Samaritan’s Purse (SP) in disaster …
