Tucked into a small private room near one of the nursing stations I felt blessed beyond measure! The nurses asked many questions as to how one American woman ended up in a hospital. I told of God’s miraculous intervening in Brian’s life; how important it is to reach others for Christ; and the need for…
Evening at the Renaissance Hotel in London began by relaxing and talking about the amazing day in this city. Though the day went by quickly, feeling God’s presence at Westminster Abbey set the tone for the evening. Had I known by that very evening I’d be laying upon a hotel bathroom floor with my right…
With only one full day in London we had to choose which sight to see in this beautiful, historic city. The forecast for light rain and cool autumn weather convinced us to spend the majority of the day sightseeing indoors. A quick trip by express train into the center of London brought quick smiles to…

The most famous church in the world is this particular Notre Dame. Many do not realize there are numerous Notre Dame cathedrals scattered all over the world. Paris is just the most famous, and this cathedral sees more visitors than any other site in Paris (even more than the Eiffel Tower). Listening to one particular…
Near to Notre Dame is a magnificent church built by King Louis IX (Saint Louis as he is also known) in the middle of the thirteenth century. This church was built as a private chapel for the King to hold precious Holy Relics of the Passion of the Christ: the Crown of Thorns and…
I arrived in France on Sunday, October 19, and, after a few days of “taking it easy”–discovering local small eateries near my private apartment rental; sampling scrumptious breads and desserts; listening to a new dialect and coaxing my body into a new time zone–I’m ready to discover whatever God reveals.
