This past year I contributed to a great book: Harvest House 'Handbook of Bible Lands' which will hopefully be available for Christmas. I was asked to write a short review below. Hope you read it -- and the book!

This Week’s Character Quality @HelpingUp Mission: Generosity—realizing that all I have belongs to God & using it for His purposes...while the first part can be a little tricky - it always feels good after I have done the second part!

Friday’s Chapel @HelpingUp was great, as usual. The choir did 2 great songs, including “This Means War!” Also had 3 new graduates who eloquently shared their experience, strength & hope with the group. This was also my last Chapel service 😐After 20 years I’ll retire next week

My wife, Gayle (left), and two coworkers at Medstar Montgomery Medical Center’s annual staff recognition dinner last night. The 3 represented 75 years of service at the hospital. The night before, Gayle concluded her 25 of those years...and retired! Next stop — Israel.
