I only heard Edith Schaeffer speak in person once. At that time, this extremely influential evangelical woman who passed away this past Saturday was already getting up in years. Since her speaking engagements were regularly recorded, I haven’t had to spend much time with her to feel like we’ve been in the same room more [...]

A cure for HIV? Let’s celebrate and be faithful
The first time I vividly remember sitting with a child who was infected with HIV was in northern Ethiopia. The boy, who was about eight years old, had a glazed look in his eyes. He sat practically motionless while I visited with his mother and grandmother. The father had passed away. Siblings were also present [...]
On the edge of the fiscal cliff … again
Yesterday, I had the privilege of visiting the office of a prominent U.S. Senator here in Washington D.C. to discuss the once-again looming fiscal cliff. We talked about what faith-based organizations, like Food for the Hungry (FH), can do to get the word out to Christians across this nation about the importance of foreign assistance to help the world’s [...]

Getting up your resolve?…it’s a new year already
For many of us the beginning of a new year brings questions of how we want to live. We reflect on the past year – our successes and failures – and maybe we feel like we can learn from the past, “get over” hang ups and start anew. We know the challenges of our world [...]
Give Like a Wise Man
‘Tis the season for gift-giving! The exchange of gifts at Christmas is something special at any age. The pleasure of giving and receiving with those I know best and care about most never gets dull. But that specialness ramped up to a whole new level once I had kids old enough to understand it. There’s nothing [...]
“The World is a Handkerchief” and Other Sayings from a December Staff Gathering in Phoenix
I’ve learned two new sayings this week. They are: “The world is a handkerchief” (from Bolivia) and “A mosquito can’t bite you unless it gets close to your skin” (from Ghana). Where does this new knowledge come from? I am sure you are wondering where you can find such gems! (wink) Well…first let me tell [...]
Getting ready for Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is coming. And I’m going through a list of what I’m thankful for in my life. God has blessed me with a great job, home, friends, family and pets! I’ve got so much to be thankful for in my life. Even so, now and again, I get the blues about my life. I [...]
Thankful God is always calling kids & grown-ups home
I’ve spent the past two nights reading to my niece from Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing by Sally Lloyd-Jones (with captivating illustrations by Jago). I am so glad to be reading her a book about God that says so much more than,“Don’t be a bad girl;” or “Be a good girl.” While abstract concepts [...]
