  • The Greatest Gift Ever

    Dear Family and Friends, In the eyes of a child, this week will be the longest week of the year. I still remember how it took forever for “the day” to finally arrive. I’m sure it was the same for you. But today I say, let’s return to our youth! And spend this week in

  • The Magnificat

    Dear Family and Friends, Have you finished your shopping and preparations for the big day? Or have you been swept up in the Christmas rush with only two weeks to go? If this is you, let’s slow down a bit and remember the reason why we do this to ourselves. Today we will look at

  • His Name Is …

    Dear Family and Friends, As we continue through the season celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus, let’s focus on another person in the Christmas story.

    Dear Family and Friends, A true story from my younger days. It was still early that one morning as I drove up Harding Avenue. ‘Looks like a nice day, maybe I’ll head to the beach,’ so I thought… When out of nowhere, a police car came racing up behind me. Thinking he wanted to pass,

  • Is It Really Love When We Lower Our Expectations?

    Dear Family and Friends Although we had a wonderful experience in the Holy Land, I have to admit – there’s no place like home. Oh the joy of sleeping in our own bed and sitting on our own toilet… But then the inevitable happened. I woke up from my utopian dream after spending a whole

  • Our Saul Moment

    Dear Family and Friends, We returned this morning from our pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Based on Aileen’s and my experience and the comments made by others, most, if not all, of us are no longer the same persons we were just a mere week and a half ago. In short, the trip was transforming.

  • Greetings From the Holy Land

    Erev Tov Family and Friends, Erev Tov means good evening in Hebrew. This message comes to you from the Holy Land as Aileen, myself and 29 others are literally walking in the footsteps of Jesus.
