It is early November and Christmas marketing is appearing everywhere. Really, am I missing something or did Madison Ave. & Wall Street just skip over Thanksgiving? It’s like “retail America” has no morals or traditions worthy of preserving when it comes to the cash register! Christmas advertising has bypassed. Thanksgiving is in the mad race for retail dollars. It’s not like we who live

Republicans Up to Bat!
The election night is past, the smoke has cleared and Washington has a new change of guard. Half our tribe is sad and the other half is glad. Millions are hopeful, while the losers are questioning their rejection. Before you who voted “Republican” get too carried away, let me offer a word of caution. Having just come out of Halloween in which American parents

So many things have changed in my lifetime, I cannot count them all! One of those changes is what is now being called “Outsourcing.” When I was in high school, that word was not in our vocabulary or even in a dictionary. It is a corporate word that describes what has become a 21st Century phenomena. What corporate America means by outsourcing is that

Closed Doors & Open Windows
Ebola is in Dallas– can you believe that? A Liberian man came to Dallas while infected and has spread it to many others! My soul, what’s next? My prayers have been going up for West Africa that somehow this plague can be contained and stopped before millions die. Now it has come to Dallas! The world has become a very small closet filled with many

“Are you crazy!? Don’t you know there is Ebola in Africa?” That’s what I am hearing from a few friends as they know we are returning to Africa in the next week or so. This Ebola scare creates irrational fears in all of us, simply because it is a virus without containment or cure. Believe me, I am not crazy, reckless, or overly bold.

Your Baby
In our previous blog, we pictured 28 year old Charles M. from Tanzania with orphans he found sleeping in an empty building. Charles is our staff representative in a remote area where the Gospel sound is faint. He is loudly blowing the trumpet. While in his travels, he found the 25 or so orphaned children living together with no adult care. They are abandoned

Ebola! This is the terrifying word in Africa right now. This deadly virus kills over 50% of those infected. West African countries of Giana, Sierra Leone and Liberia are in a plague crisis, with little hope of stemming the tide of death. May God intervene and do what man cannot do – stop this virus! There is another virus plaguing all of Africa, the

I am thinking about tribes! We see white & black tribes, political tribes, religious tribes, national tribes, ethnic tribes, all with clenched fists and no outstretched hands or hearts. We read and hear the news and it is bad news, hateful, and hurtful! Jesus got it right, “There will be wars and rumors of wars,” before He returns. We seem to have arrived! When

Ann Coulter & African Missions
Did you read what radio talk show host Ann Coulter said about Dr. Kent Brantly’s medical mission in Liberia? I am shocked that this intelligent, Christian lady would make such immature statements on her website. It is absurd! I know Ann Coulter is a professing Christian, but this article that tirades against the money spent by Samaritan’s Purse to fly Dr. Brantly and the

How would you like to walk in Benjamin Netanyahu’s shoes right now? That good man has enemies on all sides and is looking for friends to understand the peril he and his people are in. He is finding very few. I, for one, want to stand up and be counted as a friend of Israel. That does not mean I am a war monger,
