Jesus didn’t own His tomb; He just borrowed it for 3 days
On Resurrection Day, Joseph of Arimathea got his tomb back and Christ-followers got the living Jesus back, to be with them forever. What a joy to daily hang out with the risen Jesus Christ! Seeds drop off of life and … Continue reading

Distraction-distancing opens life up to the things that really matter.
Many people are unaware of their own inner story, the condition of their heart, because they’ve never taken an internal inventory. It’s easy to toil and search for things and substances to give us what can only be found in … Continue reading
Peacemaker, peacemaker, we need you (not so much for bullies)
If peacemakers were honored with the same devotion and passion as war heroes are, the world would be a different place. Perhaps countries need a Tomb of the Unknown Peacemaker. Jesus forgave those who treated Him violently, but He praised … Continue reading
