Three Meals a Day

We need to turn to Jesus every day, because he is our food.

The full cost of the gifts in “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is $107,300. The huge expense indicates how much we are expected to give.

The history of Santa Claus can help us appreciate more deeply the meaning of Christ’s birth.

Jesus, unlike other guests, is coming for the mess of our lives.

Our salvation does not depend on our goodness—only on God’s goodness.

When the things we take pride in are destroyed, it is then time to place our pride in God’s faithfulness.

When you are tempted to doubt what will happen after death, look at what is happening before death.

Zacchaeus moments are when we thought we were only going to observe but then discover that Jesus has something different in mind.

The fact that God is searching for the one who is lost does not mean that God has forgotten those who are faithful.

Every time we pray, we remember who we are and we grow more sensitive to God’s grace.

Blessings give thanks to God for the goodness that is already present in a person, place or thing.

Words and ideas can only bring us so far. It is only when we ground ourselves in God’s personal love for us, that we can find peace.
