Faithfulness and Forever Love
Our weekend in Tulsa was a walk through memory lane — and a celebration of God’s unwavering faithfulness. The highlight of our visit was witnessing my godson’s sister, Grace, marry the love of her life. Grace — a beautiful name — and what a picture of God’s grace Saturday turned out to be. The ceremony…
Spy Wednesday — When Betrayal Met the Light
It’s called Spy Wednesday for a reason. This was the day Judas Iscariot — one of the twelve, a disciple handpicked by Jesus — made a secret deal with the chief priests. Thirty silver coins. The price of a slave. The weight of betrayal. Last Sunday night, we saw “The Chosen — Season 5, Episode…
Be Anxious for Nothing
“The Chosen” series, Season 4, Episode 7 portrays Jesus visiting sisters, Mary and Martha at their home. If you had to guess, you’d probably peg me as a Martha. Oh yes, I’d be that whirlwind, dusting every corner and probably running a small catering operation from my kitchen to serve the best meal ever. I…
His Chosen Ones
Watching “The Chosen” series, I have been enlightened to what it might have looked like back in the days when Jesus walked, talked, healed, corrected, uplifted, raised people from the dead, performed miracles of loaves and fishes, and taught the masses. Seriously, I don’t read a scripture in the New Testament now without seeing it…
An Upside Down World
Well, at least that’s the vantage point of this little guy! And, from my vantage point, it seems this world is upside down, even when we’re right side up! Get ready! Get set! GO!!!! I say that as a lead to what we are about to eat and hopefully digest as the upcoming November election…
We are Chosen
We saw “The Chosen”, Series 4, 5 & 6 on Sunday night at the theater. As we watched the beauty of Jesus and his disciples and their comradery, I was reminded of the importance of friendships. But I also saw Jesus, in the movie, become quite frustrated at those knuckle-headed disciples who kept messing up.…
Please Pick Me Lord
I wanted to be picked for that part or answering that question in school. And, after watching many episodes of The Chosen, I wonder if I would have desired to be picked as one of Jesus’ followers. I think that I would have enjoyed hanging out with Mary Magdalene and be in on those conversations…
Choosing to be like Jesus
We have all experienced it. We just heard an amazing sermon at church about being the light of Christ, and, ten minutes later, we’re trying to exit the church parking lot. We’ve got a ‘tude about the traffic and getting to our lunch date on time. We might even forget about using our car’s turn…
WEIRD – Because NORMAL isn’t Working
Did you ever feel “weird” in a setting when it seemed you were the only one in the room who was a Christian? Maybe you really weren’t the only Christian, but based on the conversations and actions of others, you felt like the only Christian and that made you feel REALLY weird! My blog’s title…
Walking and Talking with Jesus
Can you imagine walking, talking, eating and laughing with Jesus day in and day out? I believe He had to lighten up and laugh with those misfits He called to be with Him 24/7 for three-and-a-half years. I appreciate how THE CHOSEN film series has captured some of those shenanigans and how patient Jesus is…
