Did God really say…?

“Did God really say…?” The serpent’s ploy through the ages. 

Deceiver. Casting doubt on God’s Word.

Casting doubt on God.

Casting doubt.

Deceiver. Twisting His command. And intent.

Then misleading the listener. About the outcome of disobedience.

To live is Christ

“To live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). Paul’s words help us stay the course. In life. And death.

October 2000. The phone rang at our home in Virginia.

A friend living in Karachi was calling. 

“Ed is in very serious condition. Please pray.”

Complicated grief

Some days, when it can’t get any worse, it does. Leading to a complicated grief.

No. All along the darkening path, we meet others who know. And understand.
