It is amazing to me that we are celebrating Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Rielyn* both turning six years old today! Where did the time go? When I look at this photo of Rielyn it is like looking at a snapshot of me at her age with just a bit of tweaking of the chin […]
“Wellspring” Fifth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Reilyn* are five years old today! For a grandma who in ‘eternity years’ is barely beyond a gleam in my Father’s eye, seeing Reilyn turn five years old has an aging aspect to it. Since my current (lengthy) assignment from Holy Spirit is recording Vineyard Days, I liken this aging […]
“Wellspring” Fourth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Rielyn turned four years old today! When I published my first post on May 2, 2010 there was no way of knowing what the next four years would bring. Life has been full of joyous and difficult seasons, but one thing remains the same: our Lord. He is more than […]

Grace2
Today I am 55 years young! This is an especially meaningful birthday that I have dubbed my “Double Portion of Grace” year. The number five in the Bible means grace. My name, Nancy, means grace. I am alive by God’s grace. Earlier this week, I had the privilege of joining a group of nearly 50 […]
“Wellspring” First Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Today it’s joyously appropriate to publish an extra edition of “Wellspring of Life!” One year ago today, our granddaughter, Rielyn Jolene Bentz, made her entrance into our world. In obedience to Holy Spirit’s undeniable instruction to me that “Nancy, it is time to start writing again,” I published my first blog post the evening of […]
New Life!
I can’t think of a better way to begin my new blog than by dedicating it to my newborn granddaughter, Rielyn Jolene Bentz! She arrived this Sunday morning of May 2, 2010 with all the usual weights and measurements (7 lbs. 6 oz. and 20¾” long, to be precise!), but the best thing is… She’s […]
