As we all sit in a circle the question was; “what do you get from your spouse”? After listening to all the desires, all the wants from the others, I simply answered “I expect nothing from Lorna except to love me”. Love is a free choice. As the two of us are soulmates, our love…
He battled. Daily Jesus battled. He spent his time in a never ending battle with evil. With demons. With Satan. He stood strong and fought well, but in the end… he was crucified. He was tortured… beaten… scarred… and taken to Hell. Then in a moment, he woke, he rose, and he walked again. They…
We tend to glamorize it. We even make beautiful jewelry out of it. We don’t want to face the truth. The whip had metal, and bone, in the ends. As Jesus was struck, flesh was torn away from his back… his sides… his neck. This would continue until near death. Our Saviors raw muscle, tendons,…
They knew what he had done. They had seen the healing. They had witnessed the miracles. They had heard of the dead rising. So a hero’s welcome… a kings honor. The robes from their backs, and palm leaves paved his way. Put yourself in Jesus place. Not wanting the spot light, but knowing the king’s…
Thirty seven times. Thirty Seven!! H2O became wine. Evil spirits ran in fear. Fish jumped into nets, at his calling. Leprosy vanished with a touch.

We had gone into American Eagle on a routine shopping trip. I skimmed thru the mens’ department, the way most men do. I then found a spot to stand. A couple of minutes turned into many, and she was still trying on clothes. So I waited. People asking if they could help me. If they…
As I stood beside the mighty Mississippi, I came to a quiet realization of our spirit. The flowing of such a body of water never stops. Day and night without ceasing, it flows. It bends and turns. It has a life all its own, but is never stops. Downward… always downward… toward something so much…
Until we understand that Christ, is at the center of everything, and everyone, we will continue down a path of destructive disconnection we see so clearly in the world today. We live in a ego driven, dualistic society. I’m right and you’re wrong. I’m on the left, you’re on the right and we can’t learn…
The silence of snow. It was a Thursday. The loud part of the storm had already come and the gentle part still remained. The snow started to fall, and the flakes got larger and more robust. I dressed for the occasion, and went for a walk. There is a silence in the snow. A silence…
