Good weekend to you my ‘Walking with Jesus’ friends, Have you ever considered our sometimes passionate pursuit of ‘strength in weakness’? Education and sabbaticals; fitness workouts and healthy eating; counseling and therapy; medications and sometimes surgery… are all intended to strengthen an area of weakness in our body, or our thinking, or even our character […]
Hello, my “Walking with Jesus” friends, The “ripple effect” is something you’ve probably seen when you throw a rock into a pond or lake, right?

Hello, my ‘Walking with Jesus’ friends, Have you ever spoken so positively about a person or a place that you felt concerned you had overstated reality and others may not find their experience with that person or place to be as wonderful as you had claimed?

Almost every voice in our world will […]

Saturday evening is Halloween, while Sunday is All Saints Day—a dramatic spiritual contrast between darkness and light. In our journey with the apostle Paul, we have come to a searching challenge for every follower of Jesus: are we living […]
Hello, my ‘Walking with Jesus’ friends, Have you ever been sent by someone as their representative? Perhaps your boss sent you to a meeting representing the company you worked for, or your parents urged you to remember you carried your family name as you headed out the door as a teenager. In our journey with […]
Hello, my ‘Walking with Jesus’ friends, For some years I’ve used the little phrase ‘a fingerprint of God’ to describe something that we SEE that can only be explained as a direct work of Almighty God, in our world.

Hello, my ‘Walking with Jesus’ friends, Have you ever tried to ‘persuade’ someone to believe something or to take some specific action?
