Happy Hump Day – Wednesday of Holy Week – On this day we remember the anointing of Jesus prior to his crucifixion. The story is told in Matthew, Mark, and John. In John it says it was Mary, in the others it was a woman. It seems to me it...
“You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilization to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature.”― Mahatma Gandhi ( Funny how this Hindu man...
“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of...
Our Ash Wednesday Service last night included this – should we include this in our prayers everyday? – Litany of Penance: Most holy and merciful Father: I confess to you and to the whole communion of saints in heaven and on earth, that I have sinned by my own fault...

Where would the world be or the kingdom be without “What can’t I do?” people? Think about some “What can’t I do?” people. If the Wright brothers wouldn’t have said that, would we fly on airplanes today? If our founding fathers wouldn’t have said that, would we be US citizens...
“Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?” John 14:9. I opened up my devotions being three days behind and Jesus used Oswald Chambers to hit me up side the head. We enjoy the song “What a friend we have...
