         <description><![CDATA[
	The Jewish wall calendar that I purchased for this year of studies on the Jewish Roots of Christianity tells me that today's date is 14 Nisan.&nbsp;This is the day, thousands of years ago, that the first Passover lambs&nbsp;were sacrificed.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was their blood that was spread on the doorways of the Israelite homes as an invitation to God's protective presence.&nbsp; It was God's remaining presence that marked the Israelite nation.&nbsp;&nbsp; They were the ones He was with by fire...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	My grandchildren are 2 and 3 years old.&nbsp; I wish I had a dime for every time I have pleaded with them, and my own children before them,&nbsp;to just “play nice”.&nbsp; No hitting, no shoving, and no&nbsp;snatching what the other person holds.&nbsp;I don’t have to read much in the news to find myself saying the same thing to the adults in my world.&nbsp; Saddest of all is when I see the same bickering and positioning and even bullying among those who claim the name of Christ.&nbsp; Why...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	&nbsp;

	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The value that I absorb from a study of Nineveh is that the truths of God are not determined by the knowledge and perceptions of man.&nbsp; Two hundred years ago, Nineveh was little more than a legendary place of mythical story, maybe akin to the stories of the lost city of Atlantis.&nbsp; In the modern thought of 1840, many stories of the Bible, maybe especially fantastical stories such as Jonah and the big fish, were relegated to that of myth.&nbsp; It was...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	When my daughter Abby was three, she started what would prove a persevering habit of coming to me when she had done something wrong with the sweetest of smiles, and the report that “Jesus loves me!”&nbsp; It didn’t take long for me to figure out that she was telling me that she had just tracked paint on our wood floor in tiny green footprints, or practiced writing her name on the wallpaper with permanent marker.&nbsp; Yet, the sincerity of her childlike confidence in God’s forgiving love for...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[We begin a grand adventure with God at our new birth in Christ.&#160;But, like Nicodemus, &#160;I found&#160;that I really did not understand this new birth thing. It was adoption, and Paul’s explanation of it, that&#160;helped bring the truth home to my heart.
"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.”&#160;The Spirit himself...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[“When he [Christ] had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” &#160;Simon answered, “Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. &#160;So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;In honor of Mother’s Day, I would like to&#160;begin a series that will share some of the things that I have been learning about being a daughter of God from my experiences as a mother.
It all began with a prayer.&#160;In January of 1998, our disposable income made a sudden and unexpected increase.&#160;We well knew that extra money tends to mysteriously evaporate into thin air about as quickly as does that last piece of pepperoni pizza in a house of teenagers.&#160;So, we purposed that...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
“Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself.”&#160;-Unamuno, as quoted by Madeleine L’Engle in her book Walking on Water.
So many events of the Bible are about giving a physical, earthly, tangibility to spiritual realities.&#160;Consider the quote above in the context of Jacob wrestling with an angel.&#160;It...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;
&#160;&#160;&#160; The creative process is a powerful connection to the nature and workings of our Creator God.&#160;One of my recent artistic endeavors has been making mosaics. I have put a mosaic top onto our kitchen table, made a mosaic backsplash above our kitchen counters, and made countless mosaic picture frames. I was just reminiscing about the incident that started it all, years ago when my oldest daughter was “dancing” in the dining room so vigorously that my grandmother’s...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Every since the addition of the study on Amos to the Treasures in Jars of Clay&#160;(AMOS.pdf (2 MB)), I keep catching myself clomping around like a "cow of Bashan".&#160; As I stand in the grocery store, dazed by the selection of hundreds of kinds of cereal, or walk by aisle after aisle of decorations for our homes, I begin to ponder - What is the real cost of an indulgent lifestyle?&#160; Am I oppressing others with my "harmless" extravagances?&#160;&#160;How can our church communities...]]></description>
