Debut in a Media Future
What have I been doing this spring-summer? Clearly, not writing my Blog! Between travels for ministry and meetings, and between which playing horse… I have at last become convinced the only way to effective communication in the modern era is VIDEO.

Treasures in Dark Places – a reminder!
An excerpt from the final chapter of my book, Treasures in Dark Places… “Pooja! Wake up. Get yourself out of that bed.” Fingers cracked and calloused delivered a shove to the shoulder beneath the tattered blanket. “Lazy girl. Do I have to rouse you every morning? Can’t you remember your duties and wake up on […]

The Way Into the Promised Land
An excerpt from one of my teachings that that might become a book: Keila’s Breakfast Like snowflakes that didn’t melt, freshly gathered manna half-filled the wicker bowl.
