It is my joy to share a “memory of Easter” from our early years at CCWF, 1995. For Sunday service in A-Yard (Receiving Unit) we were asked to conduct Aglow Easter Service outdoors. What a blessing to share my recent healing testimony for 250 women “sitting-on-the-yard”. Nearly everyone answered the invitation to accept Jesus as […]
A Garden of His Promises March 2020
A GARDEN OF HIS PROMISES In January, we learned to put on God’s shoes “of iron and brass” to strengthen us as we walk through each day! These SHOES are GOD’S PROMISES. I’m happy to report my body is responding to His promises of health and healing…PTL This month, I was reminded of another way […]
Appreciation February 2020
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.” I John 4:11 I’ve discovered there are many ways we can SHOW our love to others. Because this is Valentine month, I chose to share a tender story that illustrates this truth. Helen Mrosla, a teaching Nun, tells of the day her […]
NEW YEAR 2020 BLESSINGS
“Thy shoes shall be iron and brass, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.” Dueteronomy 33:25 The past year was the most difficult physically & mentally for me since my first years of prison ministry in 1984. Although I have moved to a lovely home which was planned by God in a beautiful […]
Memories & Blessings at Christmas 2019
May God impart to you the same JOY in “bringing Jesus” to the prisoners at Christmas as He did for me all these years. You are in my heart & my prayers. I smile as I recall the old, upright piano at CRC. Several keys in the middle octave had NO sound. One inmate who […]
The Stamp Album November 2019
When teaching school, I loved the month of November because it was always a special time of stories and decorations to celebrate “Thanksgiving Holiday”. During the 1990’s, November became the last month of the year I could drive “over the grapevine” before the coming winter fog and snow in California’s Central Valley. I often shared […]
Great is Thy Faithfulness October 2019
While PRAYING this month, God gave me a fresh revelation of an old truth. May it inspire you to apply it to your own life today. I Timothy 1:18: “This charge I commit unto thee son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before, that thou BY THEM might WAR a good warfare.” Paul reminded […]
Gifts of the Holy Spirit September 2019
God made me a “teacher” before He fulfilled my desire to be a “missionary.” I taught Primary grades in public school and later taught Piano lessons in Private Schools; but my favorite times were teaching under our Chaplain Sandy at Valley State Prison for Women. I loved the Leadership Class of twelve women serving “Life […]
Fruit of the Spirit August 2019
It is midsummer and I looked in the grocery store for Concord grapes. There were none. How I miss those beautiful, purple grapes! They were part of my childhood when people grew their own grapes on small arbors in back yards. I spent many days reading books and enjoying Concord grapes! When God led me […]
Focus on the Shore July 2019
When God healed my body in 1982, He changed everything! He took away fear of death and gave me HOPE of eternal life through a relationship with Jesus. He gave me a PURPOSE for my life! No matter how dreams fell apart, nor how the enemy tried to defeat me, I have “stayed-in-love” with Him […]
