I’m currently staying at the “Sea of Galilee” Hotel in Magdala, Israel. The very town where Mary Magdalene lived. We have seen Caesarea, evil King Herod’s palace, the theater where gladiators fought, Capernaum, Mount Carmel, Tel Dan, Nazareth, the Mount of Precipice, the Road to Damascus, “The Gates of Hell”, pagan and idol worshipping grounds, … More “Every knee shall bend in reverence…” – Musings from the Land of Israel

James 4:14 “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” Unless the Lord comes back first, you and I have an appointment with death. Just picture imaginary countdown clocks over our heads. With … More It’s Your Funeral
“I am not enough”: This may be the most unpopular phrase in today’s world. In a society that shouts at you, “You do you”, “You are enough!, “Do whatever makes you happy!” Just believe in yourself,” Love yourself first so you can love others better,” and my personal favorite, “If Mamma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody … More I Am Not Enough
Every stove burner is full. Every pot and pan is in use. The recipe cards are spread out all over the counters with splatters of food on them. Amazing smells are wafting out from the oven.
