Heroes Shine in Adversity
Apart from adversity there would be no heroes, for heroes are those who triumph through exceptionally difficult or challenging circumstances. Therefore every trial is a chance to prove one’s self a hero, every adversity an opportunity to shine. Most of us would rather have life deal us placid seas with obscurity than turbulence and suffering […]
Let’s Go Treasure Hunting!
Many moons have passed since I posted a blog. Reason: If I spend more than 30mn on something and don’t influence at least 50 people but preferably 500+, I get bored. For this impatience I blame a lifetime of influencing tens and hundreds of thousands in India. More recently, I am influencing millions through an […]
I’m Alive! Cool videos…
Two days on a dirt bike bouncing over half-paved mountain roads to get up to our kids we rescued in May 2018…. hosting a team to deliver solar lights to some of TellAsia’s other remote areas… and more that can’t go on a blog! True, I haven’t made a blog post in a long time […]
Pray for Niki
Please pray for my friend Niki (photo). She was just kicked in the head by a horse, and has undergone a stroke and two brain operations. Hundreds of prayers have gone out for her, and she is – truly miraculously – getting better. Here’s an excerpt from my book “Touch of the Man” the publishing […]
Cliff Jumping Memories
This past week I’ve been in Grand Rapids MN where I lived 25 years ago, at the runway/home of my spiritual father, Dave Cutsforth. Many incredible memories linger though much has changed. The apartment where we used to live in the back of the airplane hangar has been torn out and the location now houses […]
Hypothyroid to Health
Since watching several of my apparently healthy friends succumb to things like cancer, I have gone on a health quest. It really started about three years ago when I learned I had basically killed my thyroid gland. It probably was a consequence of very poor hygiene in India resulting in my constantly being sick with […]
Elephant Wrath and House Fire
As a child one of my fondest memories was Mom reading stories to me. These included Little House on the Prairie, Moby Dick, a horse book called Black Beauty, and a collection of funny stories about a veterinarian named James Harriett. There was a large children’s Bible in my bookshelf, but we never read that. One day I […]
Leanna is a Doctor!
In the fall of 2009 I began my Doctoral studies from Regent University, Virginia Beach – the headquarters of Pat Robertson and CBN. On March 24th 2011 a panel of professors heard my Doctoral Defense and, though it is rarely done, awarded me an “Unconditional Pass.” The doctoral study didn’t interfere with my ministry activities […]
Book going nowhere, but I’m a MOM!
A wise critic informed me that the cover design needs entirely redone, and that the girl-man image needs to be a photograph. Moreover, the other two cover images – the demon and the flower – were also struck as they make it “too busy.” Have to agree…regretfully, as I spent multiplied weeks finding and/or creating […]
Leanna’s 40th Birthday RIOT!
Turning 40 is bittersweet. Though my body doesn’t jump as high or run as fast as it used to, at least the past holds many wonderful memories. But time is now flying past so to waste it reminiscing would be a dreadful crime. It is the future that is important; what will I do with […]
