Dinner and a Bible, aka the funny things my kids say in front of Jesus.

My son, who has an autistic mind full of logic and science, had a hard time with Noah. Then I showed him that he only needs to believe why the story is there. Like other stories Jesus told the people.

Does your parent speak as if they don’t know the answer to their questions? This seems to be God’s way as well…

The body of the Church has always been a priority to God. There are talents that should be spread accordingly. Plus they should follow the ”Word” as a guide.

Eve was only named after she became the Dawn of Mankind. She was comfy and did not need to bare children in the Garden. Booted onto the Earth as we know it, everything was built to starve them and kill them. Including weeds, sickness, and time. Even after all that, she wanted kids. This represented her need for immortality; descendants. Wow. That’s perseverance.

Many of the conservative world uses Old Testament ideology but they miss the point that it points to Jesus’s. In the mess of the slaughter is Jesus and possibly a humorous Holy Spirit.

Don’t be bitter, be better by inviting the strongest being I know in your heart and life.

What really is hunger to God. It is motivational and like money, power, and sex, it’s a dual edge sword.

Data is important when one looks back in History. Today, there is no excuse for having slaves. Even if you live in a third world country with different religious beliefs. Step back 200 or 12000 years and things looked different. Solomon had slaves, Jesus spoke about slaves, and Americans breaking away from England grew up with slaves. Making guilt happen for items, dating back ages, data has to be...

Today we talk about the representation of our faith to God the same as our faith to Marriage. Forgive my daughter and her playground comments, it’s taken care of both at home and school where she heard it. Parenting is a large commitment just like our faith.

Solomon hated the thought of death. God gave him so much that he was sad to leave it behind. Do we feel that way? Or are we preparing for people who were impacted by us to miss our smiles, our company, our fellowship?

All of his are unique but do we appreciate it or loathe it? Consider other successful people who have done amazing things with similar circumstances.

Ian definitely had newborn faith to his mother. Remy also but not as severe. It’s an interesting description for faith. It’s almost an essential faith, to know you will not die because mom will take care of you.

Mom was greatly disappointed but she did have a point and God asked Moses for us to be honest to him and each other.

Jesus treated and respected women more than the Fathers and Prophets of old. Which I believe is a symbol of how we need to change our treatment of woman.

Then Jesus gave the Holy Spirit of loving kindness, forgiveness, and humility…to everyone who would pray for it.

Jesus and the Old Testament agree that kids and widows need to be taken care of by society. The number of ways we don’t is a little scary.

If we don’t fear God, the Bible is a different read. If money is above God, people suffer, and if you are easily fooled (fear everyone), you might get shot by your two year old.

The purity of people is not a Jesus preaching. He loved Romans, Samaritans, and even mention the only person healed by Elija was an Assyrian General with leprosy.

We discuss societies selfishness as well as our individual selfishness. Think about your own observations of selfishness around you or maybe in you.

It’s clear that our upbringing helps us become who we are. It can be all undone by new friends, friends that change, and society changes as a whole. It’s not changing that is bad. Bad ideas and corrupt morals, they will always be bad. God asks us to avoid those changes.

There are questions in the story and even the prophecy. Like what are treasures from the see? Did Jesus get pearls? Jesus mentions pearls. How many months after the star appeared did it take for the magi to travel? At least 1.5 years? Does the painters get the last word on the Magi being at the birth? Hm. Even after rereading it over and over, it’s still amazing and should be taken with love and w...

Make your 2022 great. Place goals in front of you and don’t take your soul, eyes, and efforts away from that direction.

Two years ago, Christmas 2019, I was unemployed. With no calls for interviews, and bleakness in the want ads, I had nothing but hope and a goal. BTW, King Saul wanted to kill David to keep him from being King. God gets what God wants and he wanted David King.

Yes, there is a scenario where kids do what they see but individuals can stop the madness. It has to be purposeful. It has to be recognized. With Jesus it can be done.

An amazing story of medicine and perseverance.
