Last night we watched The Chosen Season 2, Episode 1. My favorite episode. If you have never watched The Chosen and want to watch a depiction of what it would have been like to live and learn from Jesus as experienced by the disciples in all their very human flaws, then this will stitch time…

Revelation 7 opens with 4 angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds to prevent any wind from blowing. Can you imagine how still that would be? I love seeing the breeze blowing the branches of the trees; it’s comforting and reminds me of Holy Spirit moving. Another angel…

In Reading Revelation 6 the Lamb opens the first of 7 Seals and immediately are the hoofbeats of the 4 horses being sent out. I can almost hear the sound. Their riders were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the…

Last night we rewatched The Chosen episode where Jesus turned the water into wine (John 2:1-11) at the wedding feast in Cana. In the depiction after He had the servants fill the large purification jars with water, He asked everyone to leave. He put one of His hands on the lip of the jar and…

I’m wrestling of late with the understanding of God’s timing. He’s been leading me gently and consistently to embrace patience. I’m not a patient person. I want answers now; solutions now; understanding now. When bad things happen in the world as they are with increasing frenzy or individual people are facing life threatening diseases, I…

This morning I keep thinking or having brought to mind this Scripture: Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. Psalm 34:14. In looking up the phrase seek peace was the reference above and also from 1 Peter 3:10-12: Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from…
