Love To The Extreme

I wonder if the disciples knew what was about to happen. The description of the last few hours Jesus spends with disciples before His arrest as captured in John’s gospel account is fascinating. All the gospel accounts record incidents in which Jesus clearly informs His disciples that He will be killed and then return in […]

Here Is The Love

I sat with a group of people that I respect highly.  All of them committed followers of Jesus. Among other things we were sharing stories of our walk with Jesus.  Someone said something that startled me.  She said that in all the years she had been in church, and for as long as she could […]

One Story: Many Contributors

When it’s a Marvel movie, I’ve now been conditioned to sit through the credits. I sit through the credits because there are meant to be little teasers and hints as to what might happen in future films.  Sometimes the hints are good, sometimes they leave you thinking what was the point. Actually, though, there is […]

I’ll come across something and it will grab my attention and I’ll be fascinated with it.  Depending on what I’ve read I’ll note […]

Inside First

Jesus and the Pharisees. It’s fair to say they were not the best of friends. It’s also fair to say Jesus did not have a problem expressing what his problem was with the Pharisees. Get this though. Why did Jesus spend so much words and efforts on folks evidently hell-bent on seeing Him as a […]

Do It

John D. Baptist was very brave. I mean who eats locusts? And honey? Who does that? But there is John having them as his diet. I wonder if he had Locust Pies? Locust Fillet? Pomme du Locusts? It’s a tough diet, but the brother stuck to it to his credit. So it’s got to take […]

Reconciliation

God created a world at peace. Everything about the set-up and framework of the creation order was about harmony.  A beautiful interdepedence of species and organisms that got an entire ecological system moving even more gloriously than a brilliant choral and orchestral arrangement.  Indeed the music we created was a reflection of the harmony of […]

Collaboration

He writes the words, she does the music. She came up with the idea, they worked on the script, brought him in as the director and once we got our two main.characters, the piece just came together beautifully. I saw him plan it out, then they took their time doing the construction. One geezer spent […]
