Timing
"When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen." Isaiah 60:22 On July 20th, 2021, after many years of planning, working, and engineering, Jeff Bezos (the richest person in the world), went to space, with three other people. Rising 65 miles into the sky...
Who am I?
Lean into Jesus Ministries sends a big "thank you" to Jordanna Lacy Rowley for allowing us to share her story today. Jordanna has many gifts. Perhaps my favorite is her beautiful voice. When she sings, it is as I imagine the voices of angels of heaven. Her life's...
Keep on Cheering
I wanted to be a cheerleader when I was young. I tried out once and did not make the squad. Then I contracted rheumatic fever, which led to a heart murmur, and that ended all my hopes of ever being on the sidelines cheering. When I was allowed to go back to school, I...

Adoption: A Personal Journey
The first week of June is the most special week for me of the whole year! It’s my and Larry’s anniversary and our only beloved son Zack’s birthday. We celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary on June 2nd, and today, June 6th, is Zack’s birthday. As I reflect, I...
