Glory, Irony, and a Crying Savior

I'm late to write this blog, but this time it feels like more of a good thing than usual because I have some things to share from the sermon tonight that I might not have shared this soon otherwise. We were in Mark 15:15-32. The crucifixion of Christ has some glorious...

In Court and On Trial

A few days ago someone was talking about how God is the judge in the courtroom of life, and we can try to put Him on trial as if we're the judge, but we can't do that because we're not the judge. Then I started thinking about what it looks like when people try to...

A Summary Look Back Before Going Forward

Tokens, Signs, and Memorials

While not always necessary, it's nice to receive a token of friendship, or a sign of good will, or some physical display of affirmation or confirmation. I have a few objects that remind me of friendship and some things I've learned while knowing certain people. Two of...

Notes and Scrawling

I've mentioned before that I jot wisdom and wit down when I think of them or hear them. I decided it's time to share a little more. Do what you should while you are able. We can sometimes be like Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus; we believe Jesus can take...
