Consider It Joy [In Time]! Weeping With Those Who Weep

January 31, 2023January 31, 2023 / pearlsandswinesite / Leave a comment

"Consider it joy! It will make you stronger." Yes, the Bible tells me so. But it so often seems so callous for someone to remind me of it. Rather, Weep.

November 9, 2022November 9, 2022 / pearlsandswinesite / Leave a comment

December 29, 2021December 29, 2021 / pearlsandswinesite / Leave a comment

January 25, 2021January 25, 2021 / pearlsandswinesite / 1 Comment

I sat in the plush CEO's office of a Christian mission organization. A friend had known the mission leader since their parents had worked together on the field when they were children. We were happy to join her though a bit suspicious of her reading of the situation. We knew the president as a charming and responsive leader.
