“Master, I want to see again.”
When reading the story of the blind man who wouldn’t stop crying out to Jesus until he was heard, I was struck by his request: “Master, I want to see again.” My heart immediately cried out those words to the Father: I want to see again! I get so distracted by this world! I want …
The Killing of Innocents
The terrorists would say there are none innocent, everyone is guilty. Ironically – That is what the Lord says in a sense- all have sinned! But what we need is a Savior – NOT a terrorist! We need the One who can transform us from the inside out! Not one who maim’s from the outside, …
Relax! I’ve Got This!
“Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot. “Has anyone by fussing before the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? If fussing can’t even do that, why fuss at all? … What I’m trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so …
“Go and do likewise …”
Most folks are familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan where three different people crossed the path of the mugged and beaten traveler when he was down and out for the count. Two religious men and a man they both looked down on, the Samaritan. Jesus asks who was a ‘neighbor’ to the hurt …

“He was one who lived expectantly, on the lookout …”
I love that: “one who lived expectantly, on the lookout for the kingdom of God.” I think that was difference between Joseph and the other members of the Jewish Council. He was LOOKING for God and expecting that He would be at work! All the members of the Jewish Council were well versed in their …
Do You Know What Time It Is?
It is amazing how losing one hour of sleep can affect us! For many of us it has been a week that started with one less hour of sleep and for the most part, no one prepares in advance for that. We walk around exhausted for several days. It’s not like we didn’t know it …
There’s no crying in baseball!
“Are you crying?!? There’s no crying in baseball!”? If you’ve ever seen “A League of Their Own” then you surely remember that quote, made famous by Tom Hanks’ character, the coach. Something about the story in Mark 9, of the boy who was possessed by an evil spirit, reminded me of that line …
