Saying Goodbye (for Now) to Maggie

By Randy Alcorn March 10, 2021

In February Nanci and I had to say goodbye to our beloved Golden Retriever Maggie, who had been diagnosed with cancer only six weeks earlier. I have tried to write this blog multiple times, but each time I’ve stopped. It will be long, even though I cut out a lot. I have too much to say.

By Randy Alcorn November 16, 2020

Enjoying Maggie Grace, Then and Now

By Randy Alcorn May 29, 2020

Here are a couple of photos of Maggie as an eight-year-old (equivalent to about 60 human years, so she’s catching up with us). We love her more than ever, even as she’s slowing down a bit (but she can still dig and chase rabbits with the best of them). 

When Your Wife Is Dubbed a Female Chuck Norris

By Chuck Norris December 4, 2019

My wife Nanci was featured in a column Monday by Chuck Norris, our friend and brother in Christ. Chuck writes, “I know Nanci, and I know she's not happy with me placing this much focus on her, right Nanci?” He’s right. Both of us feel a bit awkward with the high praise for the two of us, but I’m nonetheless touched and grateful for Chuck sharing about Nanci’s cancer journey, and we deeply appreciate all the prayers on her behalf.

If you receive EPM’s prayer updates by email, you know that earlier this year, Nanci was diagnosed with colon cancer. We’re both in good spirits, talking often of God’s grace and sovereignty and that we can fully trust Him in whatever is ahead.

By Randy Alcorn May 10, 2017

Years ago I spoke on the phone with David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby. It was great to meet face to face this brother and his wife Barbara, such wonderful people.

Why I Love to Read
