I am meditating through (odd way to think about meditation) the stories of Jesus recorded in John’s gospel chapter 6. One of them is where Jesus is walking on the water and walks up to the disciples as they are rowing across the lake. Obviously they are freaked out and he says: “It is I; be not afraid.” One of… Read more →
Why is it that proverbs last so long? One I like from Mark Twain is, “Why not go out on a limb? That’s where the fruit is.” or “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” or “It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.” and lastly, “It is better to keep… Read more →
The title sounds a bit odd but its what Jesus says around the end of the feeding of over 5,000 people.

(Website here)In the eighth chapter, they are short chapters, the authors contrast some life situations with the way many folks do church today. He says: “Do you ever wonder why a battered wife stays with her husband? Why people continue… Read more →
A friend of mine in Spain, Miguel, sent me this little story about how the economy works in Spanish small towns. I thought it might give you a chuckle so I have translated it here for you. Once upon a summer… “It’s August in a small town on the coast in the middle of tourist season; it rained torrents and… Read more →
