(06/18/26) My daughter, Joy Whorton, told me a funny but neat experience she had while she listened to her 6 year-old son outside his room. He was talking to God, which in itself is pretty amazing for a six year-old. But what he said was even better. He told God, “God I trust you. God I really trust you. God, I trust you more than Google…” I’d say he’s off to a good start with God!

(06/08/26) I have been doing a lot of writing on diabetes over the last year. Harvest House Publishers agreed to publish a new book, titled “Beat Diabetes in 6 Months,” and also asked me to update my first diabetes book: “Overcoming Runaway Blood Sugar,” which they plan to republish. You can pre-order the “Beat Diabetes in 6 Months” book by clicking on the image of the book. The book is scheduled to be available on October 6, this year.

Some may wonder why and how I ever became interested in this subject of overcoming diabetes, and how this relates to my Bible teaching ministry. The why is pretty simple – back in 2001 diabetes came rushing at me like a freight train. It was one of the scariest times of my life. But I did what I always do when under attack – I prayed. And to quote the Scripture: “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.” (Psalm 40:2). And when God’s showed me the answer, I had to share it, believing that Jesus sets a great model for ministry, as He went around Israel “teaching, preaching, and healing the sick.”

(06/02/26) Benedicta’s mother passed away over a month ago, and Ben and her sisters are still organizing the funeral for her. Nigerian funerals are big events, involving lots of people: church members, friends, villagers, and of course, relatives. Ben and I have been looking through some of our old pictures, many of which I have not seen in years. By seeing Ben in these pictures, some taken shortly after our marriage, you can see why I was so strongly attracted to her (and I still am). Here are a few of them.
