Two Are Better Than One

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.  For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone  when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together,  they keep warm, but how can one keep…

Stephanie’s Story

A young bloggy friend, Stephanie, sent me a note the other day that made my eyes well with tears.   I asked if it would be okay to share her story publicly… I know that sometimes friends can read the stories I share and think, “Well that’s good for you, but God doesn’t do things…

He Will Do This

Since this is Good Friday,  it seems like the absolutely best day ever  to tell a very powerful story of  something that happened just the other day. It’s so easy in the hubbub of Easter week-end to barely stop to remember who HE is, let alone what He did,  what He does and  just how powerful…

 When we were dating we talked about how many  kids we would want to have one day. I told him I wanted a “boatload”. He said he could see himself with maybe 4 or 5.  {I smiled and prayed a lot.} When we were first married we were hanging out at friends. As the four…

I’ve often said that when I write here at our Place, I feel like I am just talking to  my friend.  And sweet friend, if you really were sitting with me on my veranda  enjoying the late afternoon and sipping a cup of something warm on this beautiful  Phoenix day, I am confidant that our conversation would…
