Imagine… As Isaiah walked the cobbled streets toward home, his thoughts raced over each other, and his heart accused him. He was so sure God told him to speak to the people. He had gone to the Temple, where he knew they would gather to hear the Word of God. What had gone wrong? How could he have spoken better, …
Picture a beautiful sunny day in the Caribbean. My hubby and I had saved our pennies for a family cruise on our older daughter’s senior-year spring break. On this day we’d chosen an excursion on inner-tube motor boats. Dad got one daughter. I got the other. The guide instructed us on how to accelerate, how to steer, and off we went—about 15 of these cumbersome, floating, …

“Yet even then their testimony did not agree.” Mark 14:59 It has never surprised me that Jesus was charged and convicted unjustly. After all, Isaiah 53:3-4 foretold his unfair trial by saying “He was despised and rejected…considered punished by God.” He was misunderstood and judged without just cause. Why then am I shocked when I’m treated similarly? A few years …
