Based on: Luke 8:26-39 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%208%3A26-39&version=NKJV Mark 5:1-20 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%205%3A1-20&version=NKJV Jesus came to the Demoniac at Gadarenes and asked him his name. The demons answered, “Legion, for we are many.” One translation uses the word “mob” instead of legion.  A mob of demons. The demons begged to go…

Wrapped in bubble wrap and tucked inside a delicate mesh bag—it felt like unwrapping something truly thoughtful. Inside was Watt’s Bloomin’ In My… Deer Resistant, Water Wise, Shade, Easy Care, Flowering Bulb Garden by Diane Watt. This isn’t just a how-to book—it’s a hands-on companion for anyone looking to grow a beautiful garden without the overwhelm. Diane covers everything a new or…

Ok, so I actually have noticed this before, but today I stopped to think about what it actually means on a deeper level. Mark 6: 14-16 14 Now King Herod heard of Him (Jesus), for His name had become well known. And he said, “John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” 15 Others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is the Prophet, or like one…

Continuing with Bible readings, and things we don’t stop and notice. This is Matthew 27:45-53. Jesus Dies on the Cross 45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 47 Some of those who stood there,…

Are you ever reading along in a passage you’ve read many times, and suddenly notice a sentence that you never noticed before? In Mark, Jesus was teaching to the crowd, while He was in a boat at the Sea of Galilee. Let’s pick it up in verse 33. Mark 4:33-41 And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when…

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. – Matt 7:8 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. – Matt 21:22 Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. – Mark 11:24 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks fids, and to him who…

Jesus stood before the crowd. Pilate wanted to release him. In Matthew 27 we read: 15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished. 16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17 Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is…

In my church, we often recite, “When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus, until you come again.” In 1 Corinthians 11:24, Paul explains: 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in…

You may remember a few weeks ago, I was struggling with anxiety, and clung to the scripture: You will keep him in perfect peace,Whose mind is stayed on You,Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 I thought, “Oh yay, I’m done with that.” Ha! As they say, once more around the mountain! The anxiety came back again, and concentrating on this scripture didn’t make it go away quickly. What God was…

Good Morning! Or is it? I usually wake up, and immediately think, “What am I supposed to do?” The stress! Many people love to wake up early, before the rest of the world, just them and the birdies singing. But the sound of the birds irritates me. I prefer the quiet of late night. No one is going to call or knock on the door, or otherwise interrupt my thoughts. Today I woke up and fought with…

Hi Folks. Yes, it’s been a while since I blogged. I’ve had cancer and a knee replacement, among other things going on. But I have some time today to think and process stuff I’ve been dealing with. When I went off the painkillers after knee replacement surgery, I went into a form of withdrawal, which made me anxious, nervous, and shaky. Within a few days, I had more medication to help me get off…

Judas had betrayed Jesus at the Last Supper; he threw the 30 pieces of silver into the Temple to the potter and went out and hanged himself. (I am still trying to find out who the potter was, who held the position of potter, and was it a regular position in the Temple, and why did he own his own field?) This passage raises some questions. Acts Chapter 1:16-20. Peter is speaking: 16 “Brothers,…

REBLOGGED FROM DEBBIEJANTZEN.COM I meant to write this a few weeks ago…but…life. This movie is the story of Lenell Geter, a young man living in Texas, working as an Engineer. He had just gotten a raise in salary and was engaged to be married. He wore a shirt and tie to work every day and was well-respected by his co-workers and boss. Suddenly one day, he is ripped from his car and arrested.…

They sit together in church. They have the same friends. They can be seen on the same tv shows, at the same pulpit. The sheep and the goats eat together. God separates them at the end when it’s all over.

John Chapter 10 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them;…

While Jesus was on the way to Jairus’ house to heal his daughter, a woman in the crowd pushed forward and touched the hem of His garment. She had been ill for twelve years with a constant flow of blood. She had spent all her money on doctors and wasn’t any better. But her faith in Jesus was so strong that she believed that if she only touched His hem, she would be healed. As soon as she touched…
