An Irritating Teachable Moment
I was studying my daily Scriptures; and as part of my routine every morning, I recite Philippians 4:4-9. It begins in Verses 4-5 by saying “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to all men, the Lord is at hand.” Just as I finish reciting these two verses…

Listening with “the Ears of Your Heart”
One Sunday morning I had about five minutes before it was time to leave home and go to church. So I turned on one of the religious channels on TV. There was a man preaching whom I had never heard before. He was a Catholic priest, whose name is Father Cedric. It was obvious he…

Catch and Release

The God Who Whispers
Recently, I came across a movie on TV called “Finding Normal.” I only saw a few seconds of it before I changed the channel. However, in those few seconds, I heard one of the actors say, “Most people are looking for a God who shouts instead of one who whispers.” That caught my attention and…
