Give, Pray...and Go?
Del Lankford really cared about missions. Whenever she had a chance to hear a missionary speak about work on a foreign field, she went to the meeting. Avidly she drank their stories in, nodding her head. "Some pray, some give, and some go," she thought. "Since I'm in my forties now, I'm in the praying and giving crowd and... >Read More

RV Servants on Wheels
Last year, residents of Wenden, Arizona got the shock of their lives...TWICE. Wenden is just a little bump in the desert. Most of the people who call it home live in either trailers or RVs. One typically arid day, while Wendenites went about their business, rain pounded against a mountain twenty miles away. The deluge formed a flash flood... >Read More

Separation
For those whose grandchildren go to live at a distance, even another country.
“Bye-bye Nanna, bye-bye Nanna, bye-bye Nanna....”

Long Distance Grandparenting
Years ago, correspondence by mail was the primary way grandparents kept in touch with grandchildren who lived far away. This was followed by a time where the telephone became more commonly used.
