I sang in a concert last night for a CD I did with some folks from a church. All the proceeds from the CD go towards a shower trailer for some of the homeless people who live in the city near the church. It was a lot of fun! We ended the set with some…
It seems that no matter how badly off my family is, I am always reminded that there are others with less. My family doesn’t have much – financially, that is. We don’t have our own home, we don’t drive fancy new cars (although right now I get to drive my mom’s fancy new car), we…
Luke 1:11 Zechariah was in the sanctuary when an angel of the Lord appeared, standing to the right of the incense altar. In church on Sunday the pastor talked about the song the angels sang to the shepherds and it got me thinking about this whole angel thing. 1. Why did God make people if…
Matthew 12:21 And his name will be the hope of all the world. This is actually Jesus quoting from Isaiah (42:1-4) regarding a prophecy made about him.

Matthew 2:11 They entered the house where the child and his mother, Mary, were, and they fell down before him and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. I think it’s funny that Jesus is always shown as a little baby in pictures with the…
Matthew 1:18 Now this is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. I finally made it to the New Testament! YEAH!!!! I’ve been working my way through the prophets for what seems…
Zechariah 7:9-10 This is what the LORD Almighty says: Judge fairly and honestly, and show mercy and kindness to one another. Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and poor people. And do not make evil plans to harm each other. You’d think that these guidelines would be common sense, that people would do this naturally….
