Morning Briefings

What? It's a Southern expression, but it captures a great concept for us. Resources to grow in our relationship with Jesus - careful with who, what and where we give our attention.

Who cares what a woman wants really? I want to know what God wants - and I find out all that he wants from his precious Word.

It almost seems the terms would be at odds--power and hope; one is strong, the other weak, based on wish or whimsy. Nope! Give this a listen.

We could read it, we could love it and leave it be; but what if we grabbed ahold of it and made it our own? Well that makes the 23rd Psalm come alive, and our prayer lives too!

The Good Shepherd promises his goodness and mercy all of our lives - just think what that means, especially when we are trying to battle the storms of life. Listen.....

What will dinner with the King of Heaven be like? hmmm.... just imagine! This setting got me thinking about it and how David described the Good Shepherd preparing a table for him--in the midst of his enemies no less!

hmmm...the right path, how do I know? The sheepherder uses his staff to guide his sheep and make his presence known. We have a Good Shepherd--how does he lead us? How can we hear his voice? O, and this song? This song!

Our Good Shepherd ... does he protect us? If so, how?

Exploring more of the treasure trove in the 23rd Psalm

Is contentment possible ... I mean, really? I believe it is.

If you are not somewhat 'squared away', if you do not have a solid relationship with Christ, you will not have anything to give another! Consider this beautiful psalm. Take it in, read and listen to it... pray it!

I've been the first call a number of times over the years. Sudden tragedy, loss of unimaginable proportions...what can be done?? Is there a way to bring comfort or hope?

Sometimes it seems life just may get the best of us...how can we make sense of the difficulties? Doesn't God just want me to be happy...what in the world?? Where is he now?

I trust God...truly, I do! But, sometimes there is a disconnect between my mind and my emotions--what I know to be true and my nervous system! And then I remember what I know to be true about God over a lifetime of relationship with him. Give this a listen.

Prayer is not meant to be boring; it is meant to be vital!

Mary Magdalene heard Jesus speak her name; she who was chosen to be the first to know that Jesus rose from the dead.

This is not just an annual holiday... O, so much more.

It is Good only cuz Sunday's coming.

Jesus Christ - put through 6 'illegal' trials, flogged, sentenced to be crucified.

Passover night around the table, Jesus has a lot to say. Here is a little in part!

Gethsemane. The Garden.

The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem - covered in all four gospels, critical knowledge for all followers of Jesus Christ

How did Jesus know it was time to go to Jerusalem... for Passover, arrest, and crucifixion? How did Jesus know the time for anything he did? We must take a page out of Jesus' book. Easter, 2026

Luke ends the book of Acts with Paul in a rented home in Rome, still preaching to those who came to him. But what happens after? What of Paul? And what are we to take of this epic story of Acts!
