Why Did He Come?

Lately I have pondered what Christ thought as he prepared to come to earth to live with us.  As he left his heavenly home, in the comfort of his father.  As he gave up the glory of heaven to enter the womb of Mary.  He must have agonized over his horrifying death.  He must have wondered how he was going to endure the pain.  He must have thought of the times he would face temptation.  The times he would face hatred.  The times he would be disappointed in our lack of faith.  He must have smiled thinking of the times he would listen to Peter.  He laughed out loud as he saw the face of the apostles when he would calm the storm.  Then his thoughts turned to why?  Why do I have to go?  Why do I have to suffer?

Then that smile returned to his face as he thought of you… of me… LOVE!  I’m going because I love them that much.  

What an amazing Savior!  

I Love You!

During The Storm… Trust

Grace! Glorious Grace!

Grace!  So misunderstood. So foreign by our standards. A gift that we cannot comprehended.  No strings… no agenda… no effort to earn… simply free.  Grace cannot be understood by any record of merits and demerits. It cannot be held to patterns of buying, losing, earning, achieving, or manipulating, which is where most of us live…

Standing In Awe!

I stood in AWE!  I stood with wonderment and tears, beholding Gods’ mighty hand.  Standing at the foot of a four hundred foot waterfall, the power is overwhelming. Then my eyes turn to the Mendenhall Glacier.  Ice that is thousands of years old, in a valley that was shaped by Gods hand.  Thinking to myself,…

Where Is Happiness?

We spend our lives in search of another moment of happiness.  If we can just travel to this location we will be content.  If we can just get enough money in the bank we will be where we think contentment is.  If we can find just one more moment of thrills then we will feel…

Only The Beginning!

This season I have pondered… what it felt like for Mary?  What were her thoughts as she watched God’s only son grow, knowing he was the Savior of all mankind?  How did he act when in the synagogue?  Did you see him with a far away look, as if he could hear someone you couldn’t? …
