June 19, 2020 Were there dreams or nightmares that waited for me and my family in the U.S.? The ophthalmologist shined a bright light into my eyes. “She did inherit it,” he said to my parents and me. “You need to be prepared. There is no cure.” He leaned back on his chair. “There’s no …
May 8, 2020 I invite you, dear friends, to step away from the chaos and take a little time to relish in the oasis of God’s Word. Here’s a clear instruction, direct guidance and a beautiful promise. They’re all tucked in these verses: “The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in …
My husband and I try, really try to face the current world’s situation with faith, deep hope and calmness. A few weeks back, we went to the local grocery store. With a cart-full of food, we stood in line longer than normal. As we waited, the customer at the cashier spoke loud enough for the …
What was I thinking? Years ago, my house was filled with candles, all kinds of shapes, sizes and fragrances. But one day, I studied and became aware of their risk. I promptly removed them all when I realized the toxins they contain in their synthetic, chemically-laced harmful fragrances.The contrast was even more profound when a …
February 14, 2020 “I’ll be honest with you,” a friend said as we waited for our food at our favorite restaurant. “I want true love. I want to cry out, “Help, I’m married to a man made of stone.” I wish just once, on Valentine’s Day, he would show a little romance.” Way deep inside, …

January 17, 2020 I almost fell for the trap. You gals know what I’m talking about, the new look that’s popular today—false eyelashes. My friend sat across the table from me. Her cosmetic bag jammed with make-up items. “You have to put them on,” she said. “You’ll see how different you look. It’s easy and …
January 3, 2020 This isn’t the first time someone has asked me this question. When I write about the power of God’s miracles. When I speak on the faith we must have in His miraculous healing, why then do I still have no sight? The question seems logical and obvious. My answer: God has healed …
December 20, 2019 Whoever said life is not easy was wrong, totally wrong. Life is sometimes extremely hard, painful, and impossible to endure. And we mistakenly look for this time of year to change that. Christmas was meant to be the most wonderful time of the year. If that’s so, why is the suicide rate …
December 6, 2019 Could someone forget their disabilities or limitations? I did. After living without sight for decades, I often forget I can’t see.
