Above are my daughter’s beautiful thoughts about the cross. She wrote it as part of an assignment for the Christian school she attends around Easter last year. I posted it previously but I think of her words often. They never fail to touch my heart. May the reality of God’s love and Jesus’s sacrifice touch…

To Judge or Not to Judge (Part 3)
In part one we found that judging is appropriate when the source of a judgment is God and not self. Part two suggested ways we might know whether a judgment is from God. Knowing whether a judgment is from God or not is a good start but it isn’t the whole picture. We can know…
A Demon’s Advice on Prayer
Recently, I began re-reading CS Lewis’s classic, The Screwtape Letters. For the uninitiated, Screwtape is a series of letters in which a senior demon, Screwtape, instructs a junior demon, Wormwood, on the finer points of capturing a human soul. The letters begin when Wormwood’s subject is an atheist; they end after Wormwood’s subject becomes a Christian and later…
Worth
Only one is of ultimate worth–God–because He gave with no thought for Himself. He gave knowing full well how much He would suffer, and He gave anyway. No one has ever done that. That is why I love and worship Jesus alone. And if His selfless love is manifest through me in even the smallest…
O Holy Night
I am a rabid Christmas carol fan. (Is it even right to say that? LOL). The day after Thanksgiving you’ll find an (almost) unbroken stream/flood of carols coming from my home and car stereos. Thanks be to God the place I work plays carols all season long as well. I love the deluge of worship…
Ever Change from Carbon to Chlorine-Based? Me Neither…
The day after Thanksgiving, a change came over our house. A small tree decked with lights and decorations appeared in the front window. Stockings lined up on the hearth. Various nooks and crannies were surprised to find snowmen and Santas loitering in them. Carols began pouring from the family room stereo. The Christmas…
Linus Christianity
Hallowe’en is fast approaching so our family watched “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the story: Linus spends Hallowe’en in a pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin (GP). The GP is a Santa Claus-ish figure that appears only in the most “sincere” pumpkin patches. He rewards children…
What the Cross Means to Me–Katie McKamey
My daughter attends a Christian School. Above is a picture of something she wrote for school around Easter. In her own words, she talks about the meaning of the cross. It is simple, without pretenses, and beautiful. Truly, God has prepared praise from the mouths of children and infants (Matt. 21:16). Read what she wrote…
Thought for the Day….
The willingness to part with one’s life is the greatest power in the universe. This is God, for God is love, and we know what love is because He laid down His life for us (1 John 3:16, 4:16).
These Are the Wounds
For Good Friday, I wanted to share the words of a song the Lord gave me years ago. These are the wounds that I received in the house of my friends who turned against me. He with whom I ate bread has lifted his hand against me, and I am lonely. But the Spirit of…
