The Good Shepherd
In Israel, we often see goats and sheep roaming the countryside. Driving through rural Israel often involves suddenly stopping to allow a herd of sheep or goats to cross the road. But interestingly, I have never seen “sheep kill” on the side of the road in all the years that I’ve lived in Israel. It’s because sheep don’t roam without a shepherd! The Lord
How You Speak
You can try to disguise your identity by changing your looks, your social circle and your address. But how you speak will give you away every time. It happened to Peter. When a servant girl saw him warming himself by the fire, she said, “‘You…were with Jesus of Nazareth.’ But he denied it…and the girl saw him again and began to say to those
Difficult Tests
I don’t know about you, but it seems that the tests we’re going through are getting harder and harder. Do you remember when you took tests in high school? At the time they may have seemed hard.

As soon as I opened the bag, I noticed something was wrong. There was no aroma of hot, freshly made fries. I took a soggy fry out of the bag
God’s Apps
When I was growing up, we had a rotary dial phone. You put your finger in a numbered spot on a circular dialer which clicked as it returned to its place and registered the 7 or 10 numbers you selected. It took a full 10 to 20 seconds to complete a call and was really annoying if the number had a lot of 8s
Focus Forward
Our spiritual walk is compared in several passages to the training and performance of an athlete. I may never have been on a competitive sports team, but I understand the discipline; for in my teens, I used to distance run just for the pleasure of it. Aside from setting a maintainable pace and good breathing, one of the most important things I learned is
Ready, Aim, Shoot!
During my early years as a nurse I worked night shift at a local hospital. In the wee hours of the morning during those long night shifts, I’d go into my patient’s room to check on them. Sometimes I’d find them awake reading or watching television and sometimes I find them asleep with the television watching them. One night as tipped around my patient’s
