Your Will Is My Delight, Even If I’m Freezing!

7 March 2010

I have been in Belgium for two weeks and I’m slowly getting used to the cold weather.  That is a huge statement coming from someone who was born and raised in Texas. I LOVE hot weather.  I look forward to the 100 degree days during the Texas summers.  I really love the heat.  I even [...]

What a Gift!!!

1 March 2010

Gary just sent me this picture on his iPhone as he was closing the door to our apartment in Israel for the last time.

I have to admit that I cried when I saw it. This last year has been such a gift from Abba God, and I mean that with all my heart. I have [...]

Crazy Weather

12 February 2010

Ok…everyone else is talking about the weather today, so I’ll show what it’s like here in Jerusalem.  Last week we had something fall from the sky that was a cross between hail, snow and ice.

A Dove in the Old City

31 January 2010

A couple of weeks ago, Gary and I took Austin and Hannah (our oldest son & future daughter-in-love) into the Old City to eat a shawerma. I love falafels and shawermas.

My Heart

22 October 2009

I awoke this morning before the sun. Couldn’t sleep. Too much to think about. When I lay my head on my pillow tonight, everything has to be packed for our 7-week trip and the house cleaned and ready for our friends who will be staying here while we’re gone.

October Heat Wave in Jerusalem?

20 October 2009

We just THOUGHT we were through the dog days of summer.  This week has been record-setting for Jerusalem.  It’s been SO hot!  We are suffocating at night.  Normally, even in the summer, the nights cool off in Jerusalem.  Well, for the last few days, it’s even been hot at night.  The winds are coming from [...]

Back to Normal….Well, sort of

13 October 2009

Now that the Biblical high holy days in Israel are over, life is getting back to normal.  Well, I guess it depends on what you consider normal.
Normal for me:
Waking up at 6:00 sharp every morning, because it starts getting light at 5. (I can not sleep when it starts getting light. I’m afraid I’m going [...]
