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.

Paul was in chains–going nowhere.  He was likely in a dungeon or if on house arrest, not in the most specious of places.  “Ambassador […]

Ephemerals

April 24, 2025

Ephemerals: colorful wildflowers that carpet Death Valley, which is a 3,000 square mile low furnace hemmed in by mountains.  California bound wagon trains dreaded the area. Travelers now are advised to turn off their car air conditioners, so engines don’t overheat in the 120-degree weather. 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 […]
