Jesus explains to his followers in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”.  These words were in response to a question.  Friends, I know that we all have questions and rightfully so in such an unsettling time.  This morning I am wondering if Jesus’ response […]

Wouldn’t it be awesome if God had a “Heavenly mailbox”? One where we could send letters to our loved ones and they could write back? My Mom used to love getting cards and letters in the mail. Oh, how I wish I could connect once again with my parents just to check in like I […]

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”― Harriet Beecher Stowe. I can recall many times in my life when I just […]

Jesus says in John 10:14, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.” In recent days, I have been leaning into who Jesus is in comparison to what our present struggles, stresses and sadness might be during this season of isolation. I was reminded of a story I read once. […]

A few weeks back, before the fears and anxieties of the “virus” took over our mindset and life as we knew it, I took my grandson for a walk around our neighborhood to look for signs of spring that was soon approaching. As we walked and observed, we saw many signs of not only spring […]

Does he question why he is crawling on the ground? Does he question how he will get to better things one day or how he’ll ever get himself out of this crazy cocoon he got himself wrapped up in? Seems crazy to consider a caterpillar questioning like that?? But is it any less crazy when […]

John 11:5 says, “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.”  How does this jive with the fact that when Jesus heard that his friend Lazarus was sick and dying, he intentionally do not arrive until after Lazarus has been dead for four days?  What could have been a rescue operation and physical healing […]

Psalms 55:22You’re having trouble with your vehicle: the brakes squeak and the engine is making weird noises. You take it to the mechanic and tell him what the problem is. He says, “Ah, okay. Let me write all that down.” Then you say, “Thank you. Thanks very much for listening.” and drive off. What good […]

Romans 6:22-23 Why is Good Friday “good”? As terrible as that day was, it had to happen for us to receive the joy and happiness of Easter. The wrath of God against all SIN had to be poured out on Jesus, the perfect sacrificial substitute, a scapegoat per se in order for forgiveness and SALVATION […]

Romans 8:29 “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.” ― William Jennings Bryan. Many times I find myself wondering what is my true destiny? What am I supposed to do on this earth? Even today, […]
