Sean jumped in the car after school today, threw a paper in my direction, and said “Read this!” I glanced over the newsletter and saw the announcement of a new school-wide project. As he buckled in, he announced that we needed to go home and find shoes that we don’t need or that don’t fit […]

I lived most of my life to please others. I was the person they needed and wanted me to be. It did not matter who I really was inside; if I didn’t fit their mold, I changed myself to make them happy. So many years buried under so many masks, it’s no wonder I lost […]

Psalm 3: A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O Lord, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. Many are saying of my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One […]

His love is not a human love, it is a God-sized love that has no conditions or boundaries. In fact He crosses human boundaries to get to me every day. There was a time in my life when I walked away like the prodigal, thinking I knew how best to live my life. He waited […]

Meditations for Holy Week
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Luke 23:42
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ~ you and your household.”
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. Acts 16:31
This is why “it was credited to him (Abraham) as righteousness.” The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness ~ for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.” Romans 4:22~25
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, 'Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.' For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile ~ the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:9~13
