Tasting the Miracles
When Jesus turned water into wine at Cana, there was more going on than meets the eye. A closer look at John 2 reveals that the clay pots that Jesus had the servants fill with water were not wine pots—they were water purification pots.
Freedom in Surrender
The Lord has a reason for allowing you to go through this. It may be preparation for something far greater and far harder in the future. These are definitely the last days and for Christians it’s going to get far worse. But understand this, that in the last days there will come perilous times.
The Little Screaming Machine
I admit it. I’m writing out of exasperation! For the last two hours on this plane, a little girl has been screaming continuously. No, it’s not because her ears are hurting. She takes a gasp of air, looks up at me and smiles, only to look back at her caregivers as they hand her back and forth and start screaming again. And all three caregivers have headphones on!

Twaddle
Are you reading “twaddle” to your children?
Train Up a Child
Wandering Memories
Our loving Father allows us to go through wilderness experiences, sometimes for years, to prepare us for the abundant blessings He has in store. He has prepared brooks of water, fountains and springs!
Kingly Preparation
Have you ever wondered what sort of childhood preparation allowed David to be one of the greatest kings ever?
