Kate said Promise Last week Kate said practice, this week promise – I am wondering if a “pr” trend is starting – perhaps next week it will be presence! We shall see. Five minutes Promise is a huge word, isn’t it? I rarely promise unless I know that I know I can keep it. One… [Read More]

Motherhood – Shiphrah and Puah
Partial Birth Abortion Can you imagine living in a country and a time when the ruler of said place made a law that all male babies had to be killed immediately upon their birth? When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Opportunity
Kate said opportunity. I’ve had many over the years and even through a season of rebellion, due to hurt and a broken heart, I have grown and learned from the opportunities (I know) God presented to me. When my husband of 12 years announced he was having an affair back in 1978 I was devastated… [Read More]
