“For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need .” (Hebrews 4:15-16 The Amplified Bible) I love...

Once again, since the Monday Short meditation was not short at all, I have to do an “owe you one,” short meditation on Tuesday. It’s all good though! As I was waiting for our fried perch dinners...

“Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to the tomb. Suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone and sat on it. His face shone like lightning and his clothing was a brilliant white.

I learned a thing or two about the Canadian geese that are starting to show up, earlier than usual, in my neck of the woods. The female goose choses a male goose that she feels will protect her. Females in our species should do the same thing, choose a Christian man who will protect her and...
