“The Father of All Those Who Believe”

Posted on July 4, 2016 by suemariericker

I read Genesis 22 recently—not an easy chapter, I think particularly for parents.  How could God possibly ask Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac, as a burnt offering?  Wasn’t child sacrifice a characteristic of pagan cultures then (and now), … Continue reading →

Life Observations from a Color Run

Posted on April 23, 2016 by suemariericker

I don’t do this very often—share experiences from my life in this blog.  The reason is that I want what I write here to be “God” focused, not “me” focused.  Some things stood out in my mind about an experience … Continue reading →

The Plain of Ono

Posted on March 4, 2016 by suemariericker
