Dear Family and Friends, I woke up this past Thursday asking God, What shall we write about this week? Have you noticed that when God answers our prayers He doesn’t fool around?

Dear Family and Friends, The Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games are now sadly over. Although understandably different, it left us with so many memorable moments.

Dear Family and Friends, Has this Delta variant gotten you down? Just when we thought we were done with this pandemic, we find that it’s not done with us. It sort of reminds me of the times I used to jog around Diamond Head. I remember having this burst of energy as I flew down

Dear Family and Friends, It was upon our return from the mainland that I learned a close relative had left us to be with Jesus – quite suddenly. Two weeks later to the day, I officiated the service. Needless to say, I was still grieving while speaking to the family and friends of someone I
