From Jesus’ Lips to Your Heart
•
You were created to be ONE with Me. My Father chose you before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless IN Me. I created the universe so that we could enjoy its wonders together forever. I so enjoy being with you. I did not create you to…

The Paradoxical Commandments
•
Jesus seemed to always be bucking public opinion. It got Him into a lot of trouble with the religious folks of His day. He just didn’t follow their rules, but neither did they. He really only had one rule: “Love one another as I have loved you. By this, all…

There’s Got to be a Morning After
•
I went out with the dogs this morning. The sky was a magnificent blue. The wind was a mere whisper. A married couple of cardinals was eating leisurely at the feeder. Persistent squirrels continued their assault of my ‘squirrel proof’ feeder. My dwindling flock of hummingbirds was grabbing their last…
