Living in the Peace Zone
Based on my social media newsfeed, I know there are many who are suffering. It’s easy to respond to a “sufferer’s” FB comment with cliches like: “Praying for you.” Or, with scriptures like: “When we are weak, He is strong” or “All things work together for good.” Please don’t misunderstand me: Those words are true.…
erfection. But, you may be one saying “Pleassse, no more Thanksgiving talk! No more cozy family photos.” I know not everyone can join the thanks-giving bandwagon!

Whoohoo!But, imagine Jesus’ thoughts on this day. Wednesday meant one day closer to His suffering and crucifixion. This day is…
It’s Palm Sunday – just one week before Easter – oh the joy of our Risen Lord! But, hold on! Without this week, there would be no Resurrection Sunday! On this day, the disciples and the crowds were fanatical praisers and worshippers – waving palm branches and shouting “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in…
Yesterday, I was sitting at my desk in the morning and the sun was so bright coming through my office window from the East, that I had to move my computer. Then in the afternoon, the dark clouds were looming in the East. Rain was on its way. This has been an unusual summer. Though…
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” — Helen Keller Those excuses….. “Just too tired”, “Bad hair day”, “Couldn’t find a thing to wear”, “It’s just too hard”, “I’ve tried that and it just doesn’t work for me”, “It’s just too far to go”, “I can’t”, “I’m too old”,…
