Our Cloister Garden This morning, we experienced a brief but gentle rain. Our cloister garden, dark green and vibrant, seemed to come alive, with all the trees and plants looking 'happy'. For nearly 55 years, I have walked through this garden, traveling to and from church. During the day, I...
Blessed Divine Love, Greatest gift, bestowed in staggering simplicity: For there was A sentence over us, a Cross; A Sacrifice, then doubt sealed by man; A stone rolled, where, aside, Jesus posed; A woman scurrying back To utter the timeless “Risen!”; Christ seen, listened to, observed in...

We learn from reading Ephesians 5:1-6 that we are to be followers of God/Christ who walk in love, a love which comes from God and which is obedient to his commands. And we are to be becoming like Jesus in mind, character, and action, by the Spirit, in the power of God. We are no longer to be...

Big news this week includes the fact that there is a new Pope. I am not Catholic, but I am hopeful that this pope is compassionate and godly. Saw this today, and thought "yeah, he was born in Chicago so this is how he should have been introduced as the Pope...

“If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire. If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for...

As much as was available to spare for wedging the coverings in to stop entry of water was used. Doors that had been made for the homes were also flimsy and would not last with water any higher with pressure against them. Again Deseradar and the family with him called on Yahweh they knew to be...

Proverbs 30:4 has five questions: Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know? (NKJV) I believe that the Bible...
We who believe in Jesus Christ are to be those who are living godly and morally pure and upright lives to God in obedience to his commands, who are no longer living to please the passions of our sinful flesh. So we should not be at war with one another based on the passions of the sinful flesh...
“Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose...
Matthew 16:4 Matthew 16:17 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. 15 "But what about you?" [Jesus] asked. "Who do you say I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus...
Lord, how deep your deep waters, yet You started me shallow, so I could burst upward to confess and to follow! And whether I look up, at sides or down, a cloud of witnesses follows me now. Spirit within! Brethren about! Angels that minister, God’s creation surrounds! No time to be lonely...
