Even Now

Where is he?  Where?  Where is he?  How many times had she asked that question over the past four days.  Her only brother had come down with some mysterious virus and nobody could do anything for him.  Well nobody except for their friend Jesus.  How many times had he reached out his hand and the…

A Believing Mom

You ever been broke? I mean really broke? She was and she couldn’t believe what she was hearing! She was at the end of her rope. Life was hard enough for a widow in that day and age, but the drought that they had been experiencing had been the straw that broke the camel’s back.…

May the Force Be With You.

May the Force Be With You.  Today is Star Wars Sunday, and that’s kind of special because it only happens every seven years or so, and for some of you, you know exactly what I’m talking about and for the rest of you when I explain it will simply diminish me in your eyes. Today’s…

Moses, A Long Way From Nothing

He was a hero.  And not just in the Bible but also on the big screen.  But that wasn’t the way his life began.  He was born as the son of slaves, his immediate future looked bleak and short.  Nobody would have assumed that his name would ever be known outside of his immediate family…
