When Jesus had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a servant who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his … Continue reading Luke 7:1-10
How’d I end up here?
I'm going back to graduate school next week. Yikes! I am almost positive that this is what I should be doing. In fact, the only trepidation is my own lack of confidence in my mental abilities at this point in life. I'll be 58 in a few weeks. What am I thinking? I started a … Continue reading How’d I end up here?
Creed
In the mid-1990's Christian singer/songwriter Rich Mullins released this song based on the Apostle's Creed. It's a beautiful song and I am including the link to the YouTube video here. What do you believe? Can you defend that belief, if you have to? Can you share that belief as Christ wants us to do, so, … Continue reading Creed
The Boy With Green Hair
Ever heard of this movie? I hadn't either, but it showed up on Turner Classic Movies a while back. It was a Saturday afternoon, I think, and my husband, Sean, and I watched it because it starred Dean Stockwell as a little boy. If you don't know who Dean Stockwell is and you're of a … Continue reading The Boy With Green Hair
“Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat”
The first daily reading on Thursday is from the Book of Genesis. I intended to post this yesterday but I had some unexpected developments that kept me away from home all day. Nothing bad; just time consuming. But I had some thoughts so I'm sharing them! The Old Testament reading is the continuation of the … Continue reading “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat”
Following Our Servant Leader
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' … Continue reading Following Our Servant Leader
“Ease his pain”
I've been thinking a lot about a quote from Field of Dreams recently. I hope you've seen the movie; it's one of my favorites. In it, a lover of and former player of baseball begins to hear voices. More precisely, he hears one voice, a male one, saying very cryptic things that only the protagonist, … Continue reading “Ease his pain”
Ups and downs
Life's journey has many ups and downs, as we all know. But we need the valleys to appreciate the mountaintops, right? We not only need them, we should be grateful for them. That sounds strange. Why would we want to be in a desolate, dark place ever? Who wouldn't rather be in the glorious sunshine … Continue reading Ups and downs
The breezy part of the day…
"In the breezy part of the day..." God walked in the Garden of Eden at this time. Not sure when that is, but it makes sense. Spirit is closely linked to 'wind' or 'breath' in Hebrew. So it makes sense that when the Living God is physically present in the garden, in some sort of … Continue reading The breezy part of the day…
A yellow ribbon and a candle can mean so much
I finally found it! This little candle and holder were a gift to me in 1990. It was Christmas time and I was a volunteer at the 3rd ACR museum on Ft. Bliss. The volunteer coordinator gave this set to all the volunteers. Sean was deployed to Operation Desert Storm. The tiny yellow ribbon around … Continue reading A yellow ribbon and a candle can mean so much
