This week for my studies at Regent, I had to meditate on Psalms 42 and 43. Did you know that the ancient Hebrew scribes usually combined these two into one? I’ve been reading the Bible for forty years, but I never knew that. ¡Cada día se aprende algo! (You learn something every day!) If you haven’t read them recently, check ‘em out again soon. These psalms provide some very great and practical lessons regarding how to respond to adversity and how to successfully get through times of adversity and trial.

David and Jeremiah – What a Contrast!

From Desert to Swamp
Tuesday we put a contract on a house. It’s not what you see on the right. That’s just where we’ve been staying. But we think we’ve found the one for us here in Homosassa Springs, Florida.
What a contrast between El Paso Texas and Homosassa Springs! El Paso is a Western city. This is the Southeast. El Paso is desert. This is an area where boats and water are the main drawing card. El Paso is so dry. This is a place of springs and swamps, rivers, lakes, the Gulf of Mexico, heavy humidity and almost daily downpours of rain.

Thoughts on Orlando
For over thirty years, I lived in Orlando, Florida. This tragedy really strikes home for me. As I’ve mulled over these events, I had some thoughts I had to write down… Continue reading “Thoughts on Orlando”
Answered Prayers
Writing the story about Olga made me check my journal from that year. I discovered a page where I’d written 14 answers to prayer that made that whole trip possible:
