For me, 2008 is going to be very different. In late November last year, I was invited to go and work at the IBLP Headquarters, the same place Robert has been for the past year. I was there most of December for sort of a trial period to see if this was something I really […]
Today is an important day in American history. The Iowa caucus, the first in the nation, will be held tonight. The presidential hopeful who wins the “Hawkeye state” usually receives a tremendous boost in popularity and momentum. We must get on our knees in full surrender to Christ and ask God for His mercy and […]
One thing I thank God for, especially at this time of year, is a loving and energy-giving family. We were able to show our love for each other in a practical way on Christmas Eve in the form of a gift exchange. For weeks, we all worked diligently and secretly on preparing special, personalized gifts […]
During this Christmas season, God has allowed us to show His love through hospitality in sharing our home with others. On December 19, the day Robert and I returned from Chicago, Dad invited one of his co-workers from work for dinner. Everyone had decorated the house splendidly. Even I was impressed with the beautiful Christmas […]

In fact, I was planning on posting something about his success in the beginning of December! But his surge continues. Here are a few staggering statistics. Among Republicans, Huckabee leads […]
The Christmas Conference continues! With snow still on the ground and the ITC so nicely decorated, it is the perfect time and place to get to know individuals and families who have labored in the IBLP ministry. The morning opened with two rejuvenating messages by Ken Pierpont and Bill Federer focusing on the role of […]
With winter fast approaching and the forest quite bear, I can now present a few of the best pictures that I was able to shoot before autumn completely faded away. Even though these two picture are a little abstract, I really liked the way they show the changing seasons. To the left, I found the […]
I love Thanksgiving time! One of the ways I have already been able to celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving is by sending Thank You cards to people who have invested time, skill, and kindness in my life. One letter was to a former Sunday School teacher whose class I attended when I was nine or […]
“Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” On a recent biking adventure, […]
Sunday, October 28, marked a day of fellowship and fun for our family at Cacapon Resort State Park, West Virginia. We traveled over 100 miles over the mountains for a memorable get-together with the Wilkes, Sutphins, Campbells, and Mattiches. It was one of those cloudless mornings where the beams of sun were just warm enough […]
