The Red Poppy
The Red Poppy In a deep funk a few weeks ago, having just confessed and apologized to Paul for my mean comments the day before, I suggested we take a morning walk. We both had slept poorly, jet-lag and the previous night’s misunderstanding combined. As we headed out to the driveway, I spotted something red in the flower bed near the pool, the one … Read More The Red Poppy
Letters to the Lord: He Who Guards Our Comings and Goings

I’ve shared many times this verse from Psalm 121: “The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” Well, He has and here are a few photos to prove it! I flew from Lyon, France to Chicago in early September to meet my … Read More Letters to the Lord: He Who Guards Our Comings and Goings
Letters to the Lord: The Truffula Tree and a Giveaway
Dear Lord, September was quite an event-filled month as I flew from France to the US to begin our six-month stay in the States.

Across the sunroom from me is a little nook that I call … Read More Letters to the Lord: The Truffula Tree and a Giveaway

Bonjour, dear Ones, Two weeks ago you heard about our forty-year milestone.

If you’re on social media, some of this may be familiar, but it has … Read More The Last Eight Months
Letters to the Lord: Forty Years
Dear, dear Lord, I cannot process this truth, but here it is: Forty years ago I stepped onto the campus of International Crusades to begin my short-term mission’s experience in France. Short term, Lord. Three years. And here I am, forty years later, still experiencing ministry in France. I call that GRACE. Amazing grace, Lord.

She is perfect but … Read More Happy New Year! Bonne Année!
Letters to the Lord: When the Lord Intercepted My Life
At the beginning of each new year, I have done a yearly Examen (links at the end of this post)–it’s an ancient practice that involves looking back and looking forward, asking myself questions like: where have I seen God at work in my life? When did I feel his absence? What were the highs of last year? What were the lows? What can I … Read More Letters to the Lord: When the Lord Intercepted My Life
