Labor, Delivery and The Travel Trailer - Ellie's Birthday
It was still dark outside, and intense labor pains had started. I didn’t have anywhere to escape to enjoy my pain alone.  Our family was still sleeping in a small travel trailer. There was only one full size bed, and Rachael (4 years old) was sleeping between Dale and me.  Hannah (age 6) was sleeping in the shower stall.  Jennifer (10) was on the seat bench at the [...]

The Powerful Funeral

Spiritual Life, Uncategorized, Walking in the Spirit
I just attended a 4 hour funeral in Romania this morning.  Well, it felt like it—it was a live webcast.  My dear friend Calin’s dad, Theo Ciuciui died unexpectly three days ago from a heart attack. You met Calin back in May (http://wp.me/p2mA2B-bh). First, let me say, I’ve never been to a 4 hour funeral service.  And second, I’ve never been to one as powerful a[...]

My Preacher Man
Someone was knocking loudly at my front door. I opened it and a man that I had never seen before stood staring at me.

He told me that he had been to our house a year ago looking for a ma[...]

How to Make Curds and Whey
Raw milk has all 8 of the essential amino acids our body requires. It also has two players in antibiotic protein/enzyme arsenals, lysozyme and lactoperoxidase. These two work together to get rid of undesirable bacteria and unwanted microbes. When milk is heated(pasteurized) many of the super abilities of the milk are lost.

We Know That In All Things God Works for the Good of Those Who Love Him
  On July 4th,  eleven years ago today, our daughter Hannah was diagnosed with rheumatic fever.

When Temporal Things are Taken Away
A storm hit Virginia Friday night taking out power lines with its winds gusting up to 75-100 miles an hour. It's Tuesday, and we still don't have power, water or internet.  And on top of that, my computer was fried in the storm. It is interesting how quickly life can change -- in a split second. We have a gas-powered generator to keep a few things going like the re[...]

I ran to the house as fast as I could. Dale was holdin[...]
