“One Day You’ll Understand”
Today I will be reading the scripture from the King James Version of the Bible in honor of the fact that this May is its 401st year anniversary of this translation. This scripture lesson is from the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 13. I invite you to listen for God’s word. Though I speak with the [...]

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just [...]
Read More...“So Great A Cloud of Witnesses”
Church anniversaries call us to consider the great cloud of witnesses who surround us, encouraging us to run the race before us with perseverance. I love the ebb and flow of the letter to the Hebrews. It’s a book of the Bible we know little about in terms of its origin. Its author is anonymous. Its timing, [...]

Then, he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you— that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, “Thus it is written, [...]

When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples [...]

But Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I [...]

“When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, just say [...]
Read More...“Picking Flowers at Beth-Zatha”
For those who were the regulars at the Pool of Beth-zatha, the day probably began in typical mundane fashion. Perhaps for others elsewhere in Jerusalem, the day might have held a little extra excitement since one of the Jewish festivals was underway, but for those camped out across the five porticoes at Beth-zatha, there was probably no reason [...]
Read More...“Jesus CEO”
My little sister Mary Elizabeth received the MBA degree, got married, and had three children. Her children are typical American kids, and as a stay at home mother, she needs every bit of that MBA to manage them. She acknowledges that by signing her emails, “Mary Elizabeth Crawford, CEO, Crawford and Company.” I hope all mothers and fathers [...]

“He entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see [...]
