Moving Forward

Do you remember looking at lists of ‘stressors’ and seeing your problems? Life happens. “Yes.” It is there. It’s OK to be upset or almost unglued, because ours is a common and real problem. That was yesterday. But here we are today, a widow. (I still don’t like the word.) Numb, puzzled, vulnerable, sad, frightened, angry, yet laughing at things most don’t find so funny. What has happened? We have experienced the top of the list item, ‘death of a spouse.’

Resources

We inform, encourage, and equip widows. We provide books, DVD¹s, Journals, CD¹s, radio podcasts, church resources and tools, spiritually based and practical. Internationally we provide skill training for widows for economic independence.

Ephemerals bloom with beauty there, but only for a short window of time.  And only when conditions match their potential to bloom. As a Christ follower, I’d love to bloom long and well for His glory in ideal circumstances.  That may not happen in this challenging world.  I might wish to be a rose, not […]

Compromise

April 23, 2025

Capitol Hill is buzzing about compromise.  Accusations are flying at those unwilling to abandon their position.  ‘We need to get this thing done.’  Action at all costs is the battle cry. What’s missing in this conversation?   Two kinds of leaders are facing each other down: those with personal conviction, and those riding on public consensus. Before becoming too critical, let’s examine our own behavior.  I count myself a person of faith.  When choice and challenges come, do I act for the approval of my public audience, OR my personal conviction? Capitol Hill is very important today, but it’s a temporary […]
