While I was driving down the road one day, my daughter was talking to me and telling me about things that were on her mind when something she said really got my attention. She ended the story she had been telling me by saying, “But I guess that’s a yesterday problem.” She continued to talk […]

What Was Really Left Behind In That Tomb My daughter and I love the animated movie Pilgrim’s Progress. One of my favorite scenes is when the burden is finally lifted from Christian’s back and rolls into the empty tomb. It is such a beautiful picture of what happens to our burdens. As I watched it

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 One unseasonably warm day at the end of January, my daughter, who was four at the time, and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather by going for a walk. It was a lovely day and we
“When Jesus said to them, I am He, they went backwards (drew back, lurched backward) and fell to the ground” John 18:6 (Amplified). This verse is taken from the passage where they come to arrest Jesus. It stood out to me because when Jesus spoke His name they fell to the ground. The first name
