Isaiah 49:1-7 {Prayer} Eating breakfast around our table one day this week, my family and I got on the topic somehow of why is it that babies cry when they are born. Maybe we got on the topic because it was cold in our house, which is what Jessica and Faith think all…
Matthew 2:1-12 {Prayer} If you have ever put up crown molding in your house and went to the extent of coping the corner pieces together, you know how difficult of a task that can be. First off, if you don’t know what coping is, it is a woodworking technique of shaping the end of…
Luke 2:21 {Prayer} Some people choose to find out if they are having a boy or a girl before he or she is born while others choose not to. Gender reveal parties are now a pretty common thing and there are so many different ways in which people do them. You can spend…
Isaiah 40:28-31 {Prayer} Many of us have come to love the Christmas carol “O Holy Night.” First written in 1843 by a French poet, the lyrics were translated into English only a few years later by an American pastor.

Luke 21:5-28 {Prayer} I’ve mentioned before how Jessica and I like to watch the TV show “Deadliest Catch.” We’ve even gotten into the break-offs of the show which follow some of the fisherman around to different parts of the world. There was even a series on the crab fishing which takes place off of…
Matthew 5:1-12 {Prayer} In 1995, the Benedictine community at Saint John’s Abbey in Minnesota was commissioned to develop the Saint John’s Bible.
