I am a superfan of the Chosen* Not only have I seen the complete series 4 times but I also watch all the updates, interviews and filming recaps. The Chosen does not refer to Jesus, He is not the main character. It’s about the people He chose while on earth. Not just the disciples…
Thinkin’ today about my reading from last week. I don’t know much about Pilate. He has a starring role in the Easter story but that was the extent of my knowledge. I decided to dig into him. Pilate is mentioned once early in Luke’s writings. In the first verse of chapter 13, Luke mentions …
I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been reading thru the Chronological One-year Bible. This morning I read the account of Jesus before Pilate in all four gospels.

I heard Marilyn Meburg speak at a Women of Faith conference years ago on the subject of “Mostly I don’t want to” I feel that way a lot these days. I DID NOT want to hear what God said to me during an online service Sunday morning. I DO NOT want to…
A recent trip to an amusement park with my grandchidren bought parallel to our current situation I like a fast, swirling rides but I don’t do upside down and am not a fan of the “ship”. You know the wide, long, boat shaped ride that swings like a pendulum back and…
“Need to know” is a military term meaning one is told “only the facts needed to know at the time you need to know and nothing more”. God operates on a “need to know” basis. Often my perspective of what I need to know does not match what He thinks I need to know. …
