Then in the dark, in the quiet, in the complete solitude of the cave tomb came the sound. Not loudly, but most certain suddenly. With no trumpets or rockets or fanfare but with the eternal God as a witness, the silence was broken.

Easter Morning
In 2018 while attending a conference in Dallas I heard a woman behind me speaking to someone during a break. I immediately knew the voice was familiar, but it took me a bit longer to realize it was the voice I heard late in the night. It was June Hunt!
Good Friday
We may not know why we have been given a certain cross (just as Simon Cyrenian didn't know why). All we can do is to carry the cross we have been given and walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
Leaving the 99
It was rave mom Janet's very first outreach. She was in the rave venue parking lot with rave mom Diana as the Texas teams gathered together from Houston, Austin and Dallas. They were looking for kids in trouble during the night and that's when they came upon Andrew (not his real name). Andrew was totally high and laying between two cars.
Legend of Robin Red Breast
When Jesus was hanging on the cross, a plain brown robin happened by and saw how much he suffered because of the nails in his hands and feet.
Suffering
The One who knew no sin, the One who gave up perfection and beauty and angels and life with the Father – Jesus – knew what it was like to be abandoned by the sheep, betrayed by those He served.
Psalm 22
David lived hundreds of years before that time but wrote what we know as Psalm 22 with such graphic detail that my own body ached as I read the words.
Shepherd In Action, George DeJong
George DeJong talks about shepherding and being a shepherd leader. He reminds us that it’s not so much about what you do, but who you are.
A Pleasing Aroma
It’s wonderful to walk into a room and smell an aroma that pleases us. Whether it’s the relaxing scent of lavender wafting through a room, the delightful trace of your favorite person’s perfume or cologne, or the first comforting whiff of your grandmother’s apple pie, it just makes us smile.
