This picture, overlooking Haifa, was taken by a friend (Jon Malandar). Haifa was home for 20 of my 25 years in Israel.

Even though I am now living in the US with my husband, and thankful to the Lord for the new life He has given me here, a part of my heart will always remain in Israel. Who knows. Perhaps in time, the Lord will open the doors for Rich and I to visit more often, or even live there a few months out of the year (like winter in Israel? That would be WONDERFUL!)

But in the meantime, I thought it would be good to share some of my thoughts and poetry from my time in Israel. Most importantly, perhaps as I share via these pages and posts, you will gain a deeper understanding of God’s special love for Israel, and leave this site with a renewed commitment to pray for Israel and ALL the people living within her borders.
