Good morning... Her response to yesterday's blog post, "Jesus drank wine," made me smile before making me think. She wrote: "To your first paragraph question - 'Why are we drawn to a t-shirt that reads "Jesus drank wine?"' Because some of us want Jesus to be like us, instead of wanting us to be like him. That's the short [...]
Good morning... "Jesus drank wine." That's what the t-shirt said. The clerk added, "We sell out of these t-shirts all the time. It's tough to keep them in our store." Why is that? Why are we so drawn to this truth? "Jesus drank wine." Because we want Jesus to sign our alcohol permission slip. If Jesus drank wine, it [...]
Good morning... I searched high and low, downstairs and up, trying to find the book containing the quote God laid upon my heart. During my early morning prayer time, I sensed somehow that at least one of you needs these words today. So I searched for the book, searched and searched. I finally found my well-worn copy of Paula [...]
Good morning... "Dear Santa," the sign outside the restaurant reads, "what if we are naughty and nice?" We chuckle because we relate.

A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the [...]
Good morning... Often the truth God teaches me daily, personally is echoed in the online meditation I receive from the Henri Nouwen Society at 5:05 am each morning. Yesterday was no different. I put a microphone to God's whisper, "Blend your 'being' with your 'doing' so all becomes an energizing prayer." Then I opened Nouwen's 11.17.16 devotional: "All Jesus' [...]
Good morning... Driving somewhere in the middle of Alabama, I was singing songs to the company of the Christian radio station. To my amazement, the Scripture verses which had greeted me in the morning came through my car speaker to bookend my night. Before the rising of the sun, God had drawn me to this unfamiliar-to-me passage during my [...]
Good morning... God the Father did not work alone. As we have already read ...the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters (Genesis 1:2). Also helping to create everything from nothing, we hear of Jesus Christ's presence. In John 1:1-5 (AMP) we read: In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with [...]
