Do you remember in the Passion of Christ film, when Jesus built the dining table too high, and Mary, his mother said, this will never catch on. Yet today, thousands of people eat off of such food bars, at the height of the table Jesus built. Mothers, be very loving and kind in your criticism and...

GET ON LIFE'S WINNING TEAM
In God we trust, Is on our monetary supply. It reminds us of an ethic, That we would be foolish to deny. Trust in Him will all your heart, The wise Proverb writer states. Lean not to your own understanding And He will redemptively design Your personal slate. Blessed is the one that trust, Never...

WRITTEN NOT ON PAPER OR STONE

A GORGEOUS SUN-SPLASHED SPRING DAY!
Storm clouds are moving in, At least that is what the weather experts say; Yet, as I write this poem of spiritual reflection, I do so in the midst of -- A gorgeous sun-splashed Spring day! Not much good news to share, At least that is what the news experts say; Yet, as I write this poem of spiritual...
