By night and during the time of preparation for the Passover, Judas personally escorted some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees, along with a detachment of hundreds of armed, Roman soldiers, to the Garden of Gethsemane with the intent of arresting Jesus. Like a Lamb being led to slaughter, He fully cooperated with the beginning of the process of his death by crucifixion. Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, (What is the Garden of Gethsemane and Why...

If you are a cat-hater and somehow pounced upon this page, I imagine the bounce rate on this piece will likely be high. I doubt the cat-haters will hang on for some reading-ride that may take them any further into the territory of dogs, sheep, goats, or especially, lions. Just one little word (cat) will be enough to crank up their firewall access settings. Just say “no” to cats! This morning I awoke remembering a little snippet of a dream...

When I connect with assembled Christians for worship, message and communion, typically for me (and like most believers) we are (or should be) listening and searching for something that personally connects us to Jesus in a deeper, meaningful way. We are looking for some substantive something. For me, it...

The Parable of (The Impossible Sum of Money) or… “You and Your Bookkeeping!” ~Again…Rob Bell asserts that Jesus is coming in the side door with this parable… “A master storyteller…right away….so over-the-top-and-ridiculous… “The king, in the story, is simply doing what you do when you run a kingdom…(at first)…that’s the way it worked…you settle accounts…you track invoices…you pay bills…you hold people accountable… The terrified servant falls on his knees…“be patient with me, and I will pay back everything…” “This is...

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
