Tell Me When To Pack

Tell Me When To Pack
If I take the wings of the morning… even there your hand shall lead me.
Being reformed in the land of the reformation
We are at the end of our time in Europe. We’ve been in Hamburg since Saturday. Johnny preached Sunday morning at The Arche Church. Then, that evening in the church was the opening session of Evangelium 21 Conference 2012. My pictures are posted now from the service and the conference. Once again, you’ll see some ...
What I said in Hamburg
A few days ago, I asked for help from fellow ministry women. Their answers were tremendously challenging to me as I tried to prepare for my presentation yesterday to women here in Hamburg. One of the challenges was what to do in a short session with so many heartfelt questions and so much wise advice. ...
Moving on too soon
I haven’t had time to tell you all I wanted to about Geneva, and now we’ve been in Hamburg since Saturday evening. At least, I’ve uploaded all the Geneva photos for you to see. Flying Bucharest to Geneva, via Munich Around Geneva Geneva Bible Institute / Conference Lunch by Lake Geneva Walking around the village of Veigy-Foncenex Calvin’s ...
Mothers day here and there
It’s Mothers Day at home in Minneapolis and here in Germany, where we are in Hamburg. Today I think, of course, of my own mother and of our daughters-in-law, the mothers of our grandchildren. And my heart is soft toward the ones for whom Mothers Day has a large measure of sadness. You can see ...
How shall they hear without an interpreter?
Once again, we are thanking God and the conference organizers for the choice of an interpreter who is in tune with Johnny’s theology, energy, and language. It’s an amazing thing to me to watch a person who can simultaneously hear English and turn it into French so the second there’s a pause in the English, ...
East meets west
You may have thought that when I came to Europe, I was leaving the  Esther Expedition behind for a while. Not possible. Esther’s world seems to follow me wherever I go. Joann, my travel companion in China in March, had been fascinated to discover that the Lutheran World Federation in the 1940s operated a charter plane, which ...
Beauty spot in my soul
I love maps (though not as much as my friend Joann, who’d rather watch the plane’s flight path than a movie during a long flight). One of the pleasures of travel is experiencing geography. Often there are surprises–usually things I could have realized easily, but just haven’t. This trip, for example, I was surprised that ...
I guess we’re safe
We arrived in Geneva this afternoon. On the drive from the airport to our hotel, I learned something that I don’t remember reading in either  Cultureshock Switzerland: A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette or Switzerland – Culture Smart!: the essential guide to customs & culture. Maybe it was there, but I surely don’t remember it. Until ...
La revedere (for now)
These have been very special days in Bucharest. As I’ve said, there are more stories to be told and written after we’re home from Europe. But until then, and before we fly away to Geneva, I wanted to point you–via photos–to highlights from our gatherings with believers here. May 3 – 5 — God Is the ...
For a select few–or maybe not so few
Our time in Bucharest is coming to an end. Soon we fly to Geneva for the next part of this Europe trip, and that means this blog will be focused on Switzerland for the next few days. I’m so thankful for all of you Romanians who’ve told me you’re reading my blog. As I told ...

Here’s the answer. You supply the question.
Dear friends, Thank you so much for your responses when I asked for your help before I spoke to women here in Hamburg, Germany, at Evangelium 21. In the days before I met with them yesterday, I was mulling over your questions and suggestions. Every time I sat down to begin writing my presentation, there [...]
What I learned from my Mother
Months before the celebration of Mother and Daddy’s 40th wedding, my sister Pamela dreamed of a quilt to honor Daddy and Mother and to express thanks for the years God had given them together. Pamela recruited squares from each of the sisters and sisters-in-law. . . . Then Pamela assembled, quilted, and stenciled the gift [...]
When Mothers Day isn’t a celebration
(This was posted originally for Mothers Day last year.) God knows, Mothers Day is the hardest day in the year for some of you. Large bouquets of white roses are at the front of our church. If you were with us this weekend, one of those roses might have been for you. Your sadness may [...]
Pastors wives, help me
My dear sisters, I hope you’ve seen that we’re ministering in Europe for a couple of weeks now. Almost all of the official speaking is by my husband. But in Hamburg, I will have the chance to be with wives of pastors and other church leaders. If you were in that gathering, what would you [...]
