Our Dad Who Heals (Again): רָפָא
The post below documents two healings that I personally witnessed last month… interestingly enough the first one happened the day this blog was founded. Jesus is funny like that. In one of my posts this week I documented a third healing.1 I thought it might be a good time to share it again, because it…

Our Father’s Joy
My youngest (born) has decided it is time to stand. She must stand. Last night, I was sitting on the ground holding her, and she insisted that I put her in the standing position. (You know how babies cry until they get exactly what they want) Anyway, every time I shifted her away from standing……
