I will not say so much as an introduction. Spend the next 12 minutes with this video, use this as prayer, pause for awhile and let Brendon Burchard's words sink in, write your reflections, and end your time of prayer with your favorite memorized prayer. Have a blessed hope-filled day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY9lNNXbsv4
#63: And the Greatest of These is Love
1 corinthians 13:1-13 If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am … Continue reading #63: And the Greatest of These is Love
#55: How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place
Grace is often seen as something OUTSIDE us. It is in the way we speak and in our every day lives.

We get water from Lourdes, … Continue reading #55: How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place

When you are confused about your life and don't know where you are headed, it is good to pause and just surrender your story to the God of History. Your story only makes sense in the context of a bigger story.

God is Present, Even When People Are Sinking
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from … Continue reading God is Present, Even When People Are Sinking
Heaven
The time of Easter, our time, can be a fuzzy time. It is fuzzy in the sense that to those of us who have been graced with faith, for some strange reason, we can still find some kind of serenity (some joy even), despite the tears in this valley showing no signs of ebbing. To … Continue reading Heaven
