No Ordinary Jew!

 He had seen so many crucified but none had been beaten so badly.  Wounds so deep.  Thorns so sharp.  Hatred so intense.  This centurion had hardened his heart because there had been so many.  But this one was different.  This one seemed to endure the pain with a purpose.  Then it happened.  Middle of the day.  Full darkness.  Darkness void of any stars.  Ground shook and someone yelled “the temple curtain has torn”.  Then thru the darkness he heard the scream “ father I give you my spirit”.  He pondered as he stood looking at this man on the cross.  This was not just another crucifixion.  This was no ordinary jewish carpenter.  This jew was talking to God.  This Galilean was talking to his father.  Jesus was talking to God so that we can talk to him too.  WHAT AN AMAZING SAVIOR!!!

I Love You!

Breakfast on a ship is one of my favorite times.  I arose early to beat the crowd.  I found a seat that faced the window, which afforded me a chance to see the ocean moving past.  It was peaceful, and a good time to observe my surroundings.  She came past my table many times.  Each…

Who’s It About?

When you think on spiritual leaders whose face enters your mind?  I see billboards of churches with the pastors picture on them.  When I think of great spiritual leaders I think on Dr. King, Billy Graham, Joyce Meyer.  But who’s more in the kingdom of God… the leaders of the local church or the homeless…

He Changed Everything!

Most days I am amazed at the way our mind works.  We have our routine, and we think we know what is right… what is wrong.  We live in such comfort, and anything that takes us out of that comfort makes us uneasy.  During the time of the Torah they thought the same.  The leaders…
