Oh How He Loves Us!

I keep seeing him carrying the cross!  It brings weeping… It brings deep sadness to my heart as I picture it. Imagine lifting a crosstie on your shoulder.  Imagine  doing that after your back was beaten to the point that muscle, ribs and tendons were exposed. Imagine the burning in your muscles as you were beaten while you endured the weight of that splitter filled, rough carved cross.  Imagine that large piece of wood hitting against the thorns fastened to your head.  Picture unrelenting fatigue from no rest and endless loss of blood.  Now look deep… imagine enduring all of this when you know you did nothing wrong. It’s hard to imagine a love that strong.  

OH HOW HE LOVES US!

I Love You!

Our Salvation – Jesus!!

She was a virgin.  She knew it.  Her boyfriend knew it.  Everyone else?  I suppose even her parents thought other wise? She was young. She was innocent. She was well respected.  Until…  Then she was frightened.  Then she was ridiculed.  Then she was not welcome.  Then she had doubts.  What a radical God we serve. …

Lights, Tree, Presents!

I woke early this morning.  Made my way to my chair, where each morning I study and pray for an hour, to get my day started. This morning I am focused on admiring the tree… the presents… and to ponder this holy day of our Saviors’ birth.  For some today is about presents. For some…
