A Hiding Place (When the next Holocaust comes, you can come live with me)

Cindy DeBoer — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 18:38:52 +0000

Upstairs, on the third floor of our former crack home, awaits a really big and really empty, comfortably furnished attic apartment. Now that we are empty nesters, we’re deciding how best to use it. An exchange student? A foster child? Airbnb? Perhaps. But because our pastor mentioned the Holocaust this past Sunday and because these […]

The 5.7 Billion Dollar Question (the one nobody is asking…)

Cindy DeBoer — Fri, 18 Jan 2019 13:49:50 +0000

When we were young – perhaps our early thirties – we had an excess of money and were picking up steam to make considerably more. Our trajectory was secure. We owned all the pretty things, had a solid retirement account, the kids’ college tuition neatly tucked away, and, should we have died, our offspring would […]

A View Into the Syrian Refugee Camps

Cindy DeBoer — Fri, 09 Nov 2018 15:00:09 +0000

Is it time? Can I finally share about my experience in the Syrian refugee camps? I’ve patiently waited until the repugnant things surrounding our country’s midterm elections were over. But I was getting impatient… People are literally dying as the richest and most powerful country in the world spends millions of dollars on campaigning and […]

Will Muslims, Mexicans, and My daughter be forced to wear visible ID badges?

I recently met an Armenian woman. She wore the traditional hijab and jellaba – the head covering and long flowing coat typical for Middle Eastern women and often associated with Islam. Her skin was dark tan and her deep brown eyes were lined with kohl. She looked strikingly similar to every other Muslim woman I […]

What happened when we opened our HOME to Muslims

A few years back our family of six spent four years living in Morocco. In a country that is nearly 100% Islam, we made many Muslim friends. A couple weeks ago, one of those friends decided to visit our family here in Michigan. She traveled with her 18 yr. old daughter who was coming to […]

If I Had Only Nine More Years Left to Live

Cindy DeBoer — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 16:28:00 +0000

It has been a year since I was diagnosed with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) a helluva stupid lung disease that is slowly consuming my lung tissue and sucking the life from me. There is no cure. It has been a hard year – and my disease has progressed even though I specifically, repeatedly, desperately asked God to […]
