“Be anxious for nothing; but in everything, through prayer and supplication, make your requests known unto God. ” Philippians 4:6 The more experienced I become in living Christ-like, the more experience I am given to live like Christ and to see how “all things work together for good to them who love God, to them […]

Care and Trust

Without scampering or barking, Sammy came to me. I had returned from a seven-month absence from him, and I was collecting him from the gracious family that had cared for him while I was in England. He nosed me and accepted my strokes, but our reunion held small excitement. He rode calmly on the drive […]

June 10th/10th of June

If you visit the United Kingdom for any length of time, you must relearn how to express a date. Take a birth date, for instance. Written with numbers in America, it would look like this: 06/10/76. In Britain, it appears as 10/06/76. It is so easy to say, “Just keep in mind that the numbers […]

Change of Plans

“This week I will have been here for two months,” I respond to the friendly woman at church when she asked how long I had been in England. “Oh, how nice! What have you done?” I know that she is actually asking where have I gone to see which sights. Her face, like others before […]

“Let It Go!”

“Let it go, Chad. Just ignore them.” This was the advice that Kat and Rick gave their son-in-law, Chad. He had called to say that he would not stop by in the morning as was his habit because he didn’t want to lose his cool and make more trouble. A couple of nights previously, the […]
