The God Of All Comfort

Sometimes God sends us on little detours in our walks, doesn’t He?  That’s what my husband and I feel happened with our little foray into finding a new church home once we got settled in Texas (Gotta Get Out Of Here…).  First off, there were churches everywhere!  I guess that’s what comes with being in … More Looking For A Texas Church Home

Drip … drip … drip … That’s how I woke up at 3:45 AM one morning while we were still living in our little apartment after our move to Dallas (House Hunting – A Daunting Task). Was I hearing right?  I woke Gary up (he wasn’t too happy about that), and turned on the light.  … More Gotta Get Out Of Here…

Continuing on with our big move from Oregon to Texas 5 years ago, it was now time to start looking for a permanent place to live.  I’d completed rescuing my cat (Back To Oregon – Quickly!), and had supervised the movers crating up all our furniture. One thing Gary and I were a little worried … More House Hunting – A Daunting Task

Well the first week in Texas passed quickly, and all of a sudden I was on the plane heading back to Oregon to try and get everything settled and closed down – as well as retrieve our cat Sparky and get him crated up to fly (What A Mad-House!). I was so blessed as I … More Back To Oregon – Quickly!

“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” Hebrews 10:23 NLT. Oh yes, we were certainly hanging onto Jesus as Gary and I were rushing to get things ready for our big move to Texas (Moving To … Texas?).  A new adventure was … More What A Mad-House!

Ever since I was a wee lass of 5 years-old I’ve lived on the west coast.  So has my husband Gary.  But once we got our son Jeffrey back in college to start his sophomore year in Arizona (Another Miracle For Jeffrey), we were starting to feel like change was coming – but what would … More Moving To … Texas?

As I first sat down to draft this post the sky outside was very cloudy, and the weather forecast said rain was coming. I enjoy the rain, when I’m inside.  However I don’t necessarily like to go out in it – especially during one of the Texas downpours when you can’t see more than a … More After The Rain…

It seems as though this past year I’ve been convicted as never before about how many really lonely hurting people there are all around us. There are lonely hurting people that come to our churches. There are lonely hurting people that live right next door to us. There are lonely hurting people that have such … More Being There For The Lonely

I still remember the day 20+ years ago when a good friend of mine came over to me in the parking lot of the church we attended, and said, “Linda, I have to confess something to you.” I could tell something was really bothering her, so we went to a safe side of the parking … More What’s Going On In The Upper Story?
