The Weary World Rejoices
What makes you weary? Bone tired? Drained? The holidays can bring out the best and the worst in us. We get busy with buying gifts and decorating that we become physically exhausted. Our focus is on the holiday parties and the food that our minds become overwhelmed and drained. “O Holy Night” reminds us of…
The Lazarus Twist
John 11 tells the story of Lazarus. Before I dive in, allow me to ask you some questions. Have you a dream? Did you have a dream you stopped dreaming, so you let it die? Did you get tired of waiting for it to happen? Did you pray? Did you continue to pray? Lazarus was…
