“Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. (I Peter 2:1-3 NASB) Think about the many times you have tasted the Lord’s kindness in your lifetime. Consider how you can help…..
Love is not always easy and it seems to me it’s far too often the road less traveled. In a world that is becoming more and more accustomed to seeking a ‘high’ or ‘numbing the pain’ love seems to be taking a back seat, it’s being pushed out of sight, mind and heart, lost in the shuffle as people rush off to do this and that…..
I learned some new exercises today to improve the strength of my shoulders, biceps, upper back muscles and bones. The exercises are simple and yet exhausting. Isn’t it interesting how some of the simplest things can be the most exhausting? And yet, how much stronger we become by doing these simple and exhausting things that will help us carry the weight of our bodies…..
I remember my Mother every year on Mother’s Day. I don’t get to visit her anymore or pick up the phone to call or send a card or buy her flowers or make her something special. But my Mom was certainly a very special mother.

What helps us to pay attention to other people so that…..
On the day of his crucifixion Jesus cried out, “My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?!”
Because of Easter Morning we have learned that God did not forsake Jesus. He healed Jesus quite rapidly and miraculously and gave him new life. The nails used in times of crucifixion are not the size of your average household nail…..
. . . teach us how to pray . . .
Have you ever asked to learn about prayer? What would you like to learn about prayer? Why do you want to learn about prayer? Why wouldn’t you want to learn about prayer? Why wouldn’t you want to try prayer?
There is so much learn and so…..
How often does the word ‘Ministry‘ come up in your conversations about life and work and church? I don’t seem to hear it as often as I used to.
I used to use the word ‘ministry’ when I did one-on-one training my recruits in direct sales. I also used the word when I trained co-workers at my other jobs. Sometimes they would…..
Jesus was crucified, in the evening, a man who had been waiting for the kingdom of heaven went to Pilate and asked for the body Jesus. Pilate, who had wanted nothing to do with the entire situation, was surprised Jesus was dead already. He allowed the body of Jesus to be given to the man, Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph purchased linen cloth, wrapped Jesus’ body…..
