Delight and direction...You're the Source, oh Lord!"e;I delight to do Your will, O my God,And Your law is within my heart."e;(Psalm 40:8, NKJV)"e;Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."e;(Psalm 119:105, NKJV)In Step with the Spirit brought Donna, educated as a registered nurse, into the parsonage as she married her husband, Niles. (He was already pastoring in a small eastern Ontario town.) Together, they understood that the "e;call"e; was always to listen for the "e;voice"e; of the Shepherd. What a thrill, in hindsight, to reflect on the "e;steps taken"e; to follow! In sharing many of them in this devotional-style book, we sense the pattern shown us by Paul with Timothy. The things that you have learned from us pass on to others who will be able to, in turn, pass them on again! The kingdom of God is here, taking one step at a time with the Good Shepherd leading the way through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

"All of a sudden, as our doctor was looking at the ultrasound, another doctor came into the room. He asked the other physician to sit and look. I remember them saying something about looking for fetal heart rhythms. Again, this was all slow motion to me, and it didn't feel real. Then, the second physician turned to me and put his hand on my leg and said softly, 'I'm so sorry, ' as he got up and left." Going through a tragic loss can be heartbreaking and devastating. While grieving, you never expect people to inadvertently hurt you by saying something like, "Well, God just needed another angel." How could a comment spoken from a compassionate heart be so hurtful to someone suffering a loss? It's hurtful because it's untrue. Take a journey with me as I share our story of tragedy when we lost our firstborn son, Andrew, as well as the year following his death, where God walked us through grieving and sorting out truth from lies. Do our loved ones become angels when they die? Is death God's plan for some people? You will see the answers to these questions and more as we look in God's Word. You will learn what to say to people grieving and what is better left unsaid. And, if you've experienced loss, you'll learn God's blueprint for grieving, how to let God piece your broken heart back together, and how to turn a tragedy into a testimony!

Common sense looks at how our faith interacts with daily events. The faith of a senior expressed when it encounters politics, COVID-19, racism, gun violence, and more. We all have questions about what we see on the nightly news. Sometimes we actually get answers! Having the time to seek the truth is usually limited and may be just switching between liberal and conservative media on TV, radio, print, or the internet. Then we ask the second question, can we trust the information we have found? The 2021 Chronicles is a conservative analysis of the actions of the Biden administration. It will help bring clarity to the major actions: COVID-19 pandemic, immigration, racism, legislation, and executive orders-a chronological stroll through the administration's early days.

What role will the USA play during the Tribulation Period, and where will the Antichrist come from?How did we get here? How did we end up in such a mess?

He refused to change his heart and turn back to God; he continued in his evil ways until there was no remedy. The Holy Spirit had been taken up, and the Tribulation had begun. It was horrible and unlike anything anybody had ever heard of or seen before.
