“The next day there was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.” But his mother told...

The dental hygienist had almost completed her work on my mouth, all that remained for her to do was polish my teeth and add, at an extra cost, a fluoride coating. But before she proceeded, she gave me a brush and asked me to demonstrate how I brushed my teeth. I took the brush and moved it from left to right and then up and down. She grabs my hand, gently, and stops me before I am finished...

A PERSONAL MESSAGE JUST FOR YOU!

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people...” (I Timothy 2:1 ESV) Instead of writing a long meditation, inspired by a lengthy passage from the word of God, incorporated with transparency or an injection of a little humor to bring a big smile, I opted to do something else. Don’t get me wrong, because I still want to tell...

(Alternate Title: Stop Seeing Just The Staff!) “Moses objected, “They won’t trust me. They won’t listen to a word I say. They’re going to say, ‘God? Appear to him?

“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land   where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary    and beheld your power and your glory.” (Psalm 63:1 NIV) Just as David fellowshipped with the Lord when he was in the wilderness of Judah, you too can fellowship with the Lord every day, whether you are in...

“Never envy the wicked! Soon they fade away like grass and disappear.Trust in the Lord instead. Be kind and good to others; then you will live safely here in the land and prosper, feeding in safety. Be delighted with the Lord. Then he will give you all your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him to help you do it, and he will. Your innocence will be clear to...
