Our Purpose
- As a married couple and individual Christians seeking God’s face and presence, we hope to help family, friends and any of the Lord’s people who cross our path to fall deeper in love with Him and develop a richer everyday spirituality.
- In particular, we want to offer support and assistance for anyone on a journey through physical, emotional and spiritual depression – and those who love them.
What is “Elijah’s Hearth”?
- In 1 Kings 19, the prophet Elijah fell into a major depression and wanted to die. God sent an angel, who provided water and a hearthcake for his impending long walk through the wilderness. We figure God’s angel cooked that sustenance on Elijah’s hearth. We hope this site similarly will help sustain you on your way.
Strength for the Journey

Praying:
“Father, you weigh what is in our hearts. Free us from oppressors and, as we wait for your day of judgment, set a firm guard on our thoughts, so that while we return good for evil, we may still praise your justice.”
— Divine Office
Reading:
“Owe no debt to anyone except the debt that binds us to love one another. He who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. Love never wrongs the neighbor, hence love is the fulfillment of the law.”
— Romans 13:8,10

This time …
I have witnessed, in person, special moments in athletic events. Not all were by professional athletes, and in fact many of them were by high school boys and girls.
It’s rare that I get chills from watching a game on TV. But I felt something special watching Albert Pujols on Saturday, October 22, when he put on his record-breaking power display in Game 3 of the World Series.
It merely shows you what people are capable of doing.
