As always, I selected a window seat for this trip ( http://RichDrama.com/Itinerary ), but I was bumped to an ailse upon check in. They said that the seat we request when we buy the ticket isn't guaranteed. Then they wanted me to pay extra for the window. I asked the fellow at the window if he prefer...

I gave this message at Westchester Chapel this morning.

If you feel yourself sinking, get your eyes on Jesus!

In May of 2000, the days before blogs, I did a 16 city tour of England with A Clear Leading, about early American abolitionist John Woolman. I just stumbled upon a photo of the place where he died, in York, England. The owners at the time let us in. We discovered that the walls of the actual room w...

Epiphany marked the last night of the Empire State Building's celebration of Christmas.

What a blessed Season this was for us!

If you haven't read our Christmas card, scroll down to December 24.

We were delighted to discover that our new apartment honors the Lord's birth through the Three Kings Celebration party, complete with a live band and a great meal! One more reason to praise the Lord for our miraculous home.

We're celebrating many ways that God was at work in our lives in '08. We had...

On December 22 I reported that I had noticed "Wheels for the World" on a wheelchair in Medford, OR, where I was visiting my family for Christmas. Since my friend, Teresa Smith, had been on trips with Wheels for the World I struck up a conversation. Turns out Brent (right) remembered Teresa...

Harmony helps lead worship at La Grange Christian Assembly, just outside of Chicago. I performed there last month and Harmony gave me a copy of this CD, which is just fabulous! It's not praise and worship, but the songs are filled with Truth.

We stayed at home tonight to see if the Empire State Building did anything spectacular at midnight: It stayed lit. It usually goes dark at the stroke of twelve, but I happened to wake at 5:56 am (I'll be going back to sleep, Lord willing) and it's still going.

On the coldest New Year on record for N...

I always loved the original version of this song, but the lyrics were actually a bit confused, so every time I'd find myself singing it, I'd change my tune. Then, before performing at Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church, near Annapolis, Maryland, I was delighted to hear them singing...

So glad we made it home in time to see The Empire State Building dressed for Christ's birth.

We had a glorious sunrise as we descended into San Francisco for our transfer, and now a smog enhanced sunset meets us in NYC.

We had a marvelous, restful Christmas vacation, and I landed to voicemail detailing work with Graceworks ( http://GraceworksInc.com ) that starts Wednesday. Also, Joyce get...

My brother, Bob and I went out for a five mile run, missed our turn-around and transformed it into an 8.5 miler! It was good for both of us, but especially him, as he is training for the Mickey Marathon in Orlando in a couple of weeks.

On the way back from our run, five deer crossed the road in fron...

Dear Friends and Family:

Wishing you a blessed Christmas and wondrous New Year.

Here's our year at a glance:

A huge blessing – especially as we go into the economy to come – was the culmination of our 10-year wait for an apartment at the Manhattan Plaza. This federally and locally subsidized housing...

On this day in 1993 I pulled into Manhattan for the very first time. I'm celebrating the 15th year of city living in an orchard.

"I've been studying the Bible all my life and I've known all these facts, and I've known them to be true, but this was a most beautiful presentation of the people as they probably were. It made the mental pictures that I've had come to life in this enactment.
