Head-Lines

Today I had the opportunity to interview for another position at Merck.  During the of the interviews I was asked the question..."What do you think is your greatest personal accomplishment?"  Without hesitation I responded "My three daughters." As I listened to myself describe my girls, I smiled and said to myself "Wow, I really have three TERRIFIC kids!"

My girls have nev...

Life has a way of throwing you a curve when you least expect it...

My curve was notification of separation from my career at Merck.  I has survived the first two rounds of cutbacks, but was not spared from the third.  Now what?

So many people have offered kind words of encouragement and solace during this difficult time, but one common denominator has ca...

Why do we call the day of the Crucifixion ‘Good’ Friday?

In Germany, for example, it is called Karfreitag. Kar is an obsolete word, the ancestor of the English word care in the sense of cares and woes, and it meant mourning. So in German, it is Mourning Friday. And that is what the disciples did on that day—they mourned. They thought all was lost.

Are you able to read these words? You are st...

We have all experienced it at least one time during our lifetime...a leaky faucet. 

   We might first hear it as we are getting ready to leave for work. Drip...drip...drip. "I'm going to have to do something about that when I get home" you might say to yourself.

   Then later that week, while you are watching your favorite te...

Lord, I really need you now...

I'm feeling so confused

I've been somewhat abused

By people who just do not understand...my love for You.

They mock me when I read your Word

And start and end my day

By taking time to...

What a month it has been!  Trials and tribulations with mercy and grace in abundance.  All through it all, I've held on to some Scripture that comforted and reassured me:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and...

The past few weeks have been jammed packed with stress, activities and pressure. 

I had to oversee five major events at work:

• Lecture by a nationally renowned author

My sister, Robin, had a very difficult and dangerous spinal surgery on November 4th.  She'll be in exc...
