Yesterday I was thinking I should share here a word on forgiveness by Francis Frangipane, one of my heroes. I decided that next time he shared it in his blog I would pick it up and put it in mine that day. He shared it this morning! I added his link to get the book it’s in if that seems […]
Take some courage from the fact that if you are in the earth to innovate (bring something new), you will not get to enjoy the benefit of the American proverb related to receiving justice – you will not be innocent until proven guilty. Take courage from that, by preparing for the fact that in most cases, especially among the religious, […]
It makes me marvel and meditate when I again notice the teaching habits Jesus seemed to have and compare them to the teaching systems we employ to produce servants of God. His style included living with the teacher. Frequently, He seemed to send His apprentices out to accomplish things they didn’t yet understand, and taught them about their mistakes when […]
Praying for you: Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever […]
I measure maturity by how quickly a person responds to a situation with an answer that is influenced by the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23).

Need a hug? If so, why? What does a hug do for you, to make you want one, or more so, need one? Being touched by someone is powerful in many ways. Being touched by restaurant servers increases the tips that customers leave. At two informal restaurants, waitresses had assigned to them customers who were randomly divided into three categories.

Eu – Logos: good word. Eulogy is how its spelled if its at your funeral. Some people get to pick the epitaph that goes on their grave stone. Others have one written for them or about them. Some wouldn’t be what the deceased would have hoped for. Nobody knows you better than Yahweh. If He was going to write something […]
Your days of asking, “Will this be on the test?” so that you can decide what to invest your energy in may be over. Now, the test may be that you weren’t ready for that person you could have offered blessing to if you had prepared. It may be that you don’t see the test or the score until the […]
Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the One who died, but even more, has been raised; He also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. Romans 8:34 In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, […]
