He Hideth My Soul
Everyone loves a good hero story. I have heard stories in the news that reveal the kindness and courage of ordinary people.
His Eye Is on the Sparrow
Christ was like a lone sparrow on a housetop, spending entire nights with the Father in prayer. He experienced all sorts of human suffering in order to fulfill God's purpose.

There's a scene that brought me to tears in the first episode of The Chosen series. When Jesus finds Mary, and calls her by name and tells her "thus says the LORD, who created you, you are mine."

Through nature and revelation, through His providence, and by the influence of His Spirit, God speaks to us.
Must Jesus Bear the Cross?
I learned something new at church yesterday. In her sermon, Rev. Carrie Guerra, asked what is your cross to bear? Having problems with money? Have you been struggling with illness? That's not your cross.
No More Night
COVID-19 is a distant, almost unreal and harmless enemy--until it hits a relative or a close friend. When it affects someone you know personally it transforms into a deadly character and it shatters your world.
