Auf Wiedersehen

This summer we will spend three weeks in Germany. I am almost beside myself with anticipation. It is interesting to think that we land in Frankfurt (presumably, because of recent air travel disruptions) at the exact date and hour of my mother’s passing back in 2006. It is one of those things my friend CyndyContinue reading “Auf Wiedersehen”

The joy of rediscovering Advent and Heritage at Christmastime.

Lord, Come and See

They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” – John 11:34 NKJV When I read the story of the death of Lazarus this morning, these simple words struck me. Jesus had come to Bethany from where He was ministering because He loved Martha, Mary and their brother Lazarus. Now, the One whom others had beenContinue reading “Lord, Come and See”
