Have you spent much time in the Jairus Place? It feels as if Pete and I have spent this winter traveling in and out of the Jairus Place. Perhaps you are wondering exactly where and what the Jairus place is. Simply put, the Jairus Place is a place of despair and death. It is whereContinue reading “THE JAIRUS PLACE”

The Final Invitation
The call came late Sunday afternoon. A distant relative, one we had only met a couple times when he was a child, had moved to Florida and was in desperate need of help. Ron (not his real name) had fallen on hard times. Living on abandoned boats at a run down marina about three hoursContinue reading “The Final Invitation”
Merry Christmas
It’s almost Christmas. Pete and I hope you are enjoying each moment of this wonderful time of year when we celebrate the birth of our Savior and King Jesus Christ. We hope you enjoy this little Christmas story, written about five years ago and updated for this post. Making his way down a path ofContinue reading “Merry Christmas”
Time for Christmas…Time for Christ
How many times have you read the Christmas story as recorded in Luke? If you are like us, probably more times than you can count. I read the story again this morning and noticed something I have never noticed before. Time is important to God. I counted thirty-one references to time in the Christmas story,Continue reading “Time for Christmas…Time for Christ”
WHEN I AM WEAK
When I am weak…Then I am strong If this year has taught us anything it is that we are not as strong and as self-reliant as we believed ourselves to be. As Pete and I enter this fall and winter season ministering with The Fellowship of Christian Farmers, we readily admit that we are weak.Continue reading “WHEN I AM WEAK”
ARE WE HOME YET?
All of us with children and grandchildren are familiar with the question, “Are we home yet?” Most children long for the safety and comfort of home with its routines, comfortable bed, familiar food, and place at the table. Adults aren’t much different. After spending three months in Minnesota, we were happy to make it safelyContinue reading “ARE WE HOME YET?”
URGENCY OF THE END
Everything on this earth–every good time, every day of sorrow, every opportunity, every life–has an end. While we have been in Minnesota two precious friends have passed away, reminding us once again that life here on earth is short. Responding yes to Christ’s offer of salvation is the most important decision we make, because itContinue reading “URGENCY OF THE END”
THIS ISN’T WHAT WE PLANNED
We started our journey to Minnesota towing a trailer filled with 1300 walking sticks and hearts exploding with heaven-high hopes of witnessing to at least that many folks at community festivals, flea markets and fairs this summer. We prayed about our journey and told God all about our plans to return to Florida without oneContinue reading “THIS ISN’T WHAT WE PLANNED”
TRAVELING THROUGH STORMS
I believe people from Florida have the most experience traveling through storms. Besides hurricanes, storms happen almost every day during the summer months. And they most often arrive right in the middle of afternoon rush hour. The sky turns dark, thunder cracks, darts of lightening flash from sky to earth, winds howl, and rain fallsContinue reading “TRAVELING THROUGH STORMS”
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Coronavirus. Coronavirus. How has that one word impacted your life? Has it kept you from church fellowship? Has it kept you from ministry? Have you lost income? Have you or someone you love suffered with the virus? Are you living with fears you never had before? When we started ministering with the Fellowship of ChristianContinue reading “ON THE ROAD AGAIN”
