Real Love is Safe
We need to use both reason and emotion in our choosing of people. We get into danger when we ignore our reason, when we find our hearts are attracted to people that our heads ‘know better’ than to choose. At those times, we find ourselves picking people who cannot...
One Woman’s Courage
I've heard this story so many times, yet never focused on Pilate's wife and the incredible dream she was given by God. This dream became a critical part of the Holy Week narrative. [Tweet "One woman's dream changed everything."] Only Matthew records it. Only one verse...
When the Rooster Crows
The Denial of St. Peter, Caravaggio, c. 1610, Metropolitan Museum of Art Notice the pointing fingers: the soldier's one + the maid servant's two. Peter denies Christ three times. Notice the positioning of Peter's hands and the two fingers pointing towards his heart....
The Extravagant Love of God
"Like Mary, have you been criticized for something you've done?" -Women of the Passion, Session 2 The Extravagant Love of God Extravagant, adj., "exceeding what is reasonable or appropriate." She must have loved Jesus so much. Jesus was in many ways a part of her...

Helping Someone Feel Better
There is strength in empty. Not the kind of strength we wish for. We want polished strength, the kind that wears a cape and leaps tall buildings with a single bound. I couldn't leap or fly or save anyone from catastrophe. In fact, I could barely show up....
Rest-oration
Rest: a period or interval of inactivity, repose, solitude, or tranquility: to go away for a rest. Restoration: the act of restoring; renewal, revival, or reestablishment. The Necessity of Rest-oration I don't rest well. For doers, like myself, rest seems like the...
Love 365: I love stories.
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's...
