When You’re Down – Scripture Dissection

When you’re down, it’s hard to function at your best. Things don’t look normal, and you can’t quite get your bearings. Things may not be going as you expected. Or, you’ve had a disappointment – possibly a piercing loss. Perhaps you lack energy from carrying your load a long time. Often, there’s a pile-up of things. “Stuff” is going on in your heart – and in your world.

But – there’s also something else going on. And you can’t quite put your finger on it. Let’s look together. Read More …

Heads-Up From Jesus

Don’t you just love it when someone gives you the “heads-up?” It helps you know what’s coming – and what to do next.

In a previous article, we shared a fun excerpt from the movie, “The Kid.” Bruce Willis plays Russ Duritz, a grown-up under stress. He regresses to a comfort when he was a kid – a sandwich. As he makes one, he says – “There’s safety in a sandwich!” He grips his almost finished sandwich and flips it around while stressfully raving. Alfalfa sprouts fly everywhere. Then, lettuce flips out.

Secret Code: A Powerful Message

During many wars, including world wars, there are clever, secret codes used to conceal a powerful message intended for an ally.
