Based off Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22 I want to draw you a picture,Not for your mantel or fixture.It’s drawn with letters and numbers,Focused on those who do slumber.

(1) I know now of … Continue reading I Want to Draw You a Picture

Where is Jesus in Your Celebrations?
Is He there, or barely mentioned?Does He fit with all the tension?Is He in the ribbons, wrappings?Is He in the culture’s trappings? Is He in the food and parties?Overeating, faith departing?Is He in the twisted humor?Is He in the stories rumored? Is He in the decorations?Is He in the mild flirtations?Is He in your conversations?Or … Continue reading Where is Jesus in Your Celebrations?
