The reminders show up as soon as I hit the front stoop. The door is always locked. A doorbell summons a nurse who wants to know why I’m there. I sign in on a sheet of paper permanently posted by the door. I don’t have a fever. Check. I haven’t knowingly been exposed to a… Continue reading Biblical Hope When It’s Time to Consider Residential Care

War in Israel: A Fulfillment of Bible Prophecy?
I woke up Saturday morning, and I was shocked to read the headline: “Israel Is at War.” It is almost 50 years to the day the last time Israel was officially at war in what is known as the Yom Kippur War back in 1973 when she was attacked by Egypt.

Shield and Covering — Grateful, yet Grieving
When you look up the word, “widow” in the Bible, often the title of “widow” is all that is used. She has no name.
