This really sums it up in a nutshell because when you look at it, the only reason why we are bombarded with advertising is because when we move through our life and require something that a marketer has been hammering on us with, we will instantly pick up on their marketing phra

A virus is something that spreads from person to person with contact. One person gives it to 10 people who give it to 10 people who give it to 10 people and so forth. With just 3 levels spreading the virus you see the virus spread to 1000 people. That could have happened in 1 mo
Being on the brink of tears makes me think of something my friend and I read together a few nights ago: the story in Luke 7 of the sinful woman who dared approach Jesus in the house of a Pharisee. What exactly she intended to do isn't clear... she probably meant to anoint his head, a sign of honour. Instead, she broke down. She "stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment" (Luke 7:38).
There's a LOT in this story, but what stands out to me right now is the way Jesus reacted to the sight of this woman, a perfect stranger, losing all semblance of control over herself and falling passionately down at his feet. Imagine if the same thing happened to you! This was not any more normal in that culture than in this one. Strong emotion is a difficult thing to deal with, and few of us can handle it--even in those we know and love--with great grace.

As Valentine’s Day approaches I am left with thoughts of how I can make a difference in the lives of those that are far from home. Those that live a life I personal do not understand because I have never been there, but that deeply impact my life; the men and women of the armed

It is so easy to put certain things off. Things that do not demand our immediate attention. Things that do not need to be constantly monitored or watched or baby sat. Things like that extra load of laundry, the timely payment of the minor bills, the simple note of appreciatio
Yet here is Jesus: forgiving her, honouring her, accepting her contrition, her tears, and her kisses. He isn't shaken to the core, because at his core is compassion, and that compassion flows out to her in quiet welcome. He doesn't write her approach off as dangerous overemotionalism. He answers the prayer she doesn't dare voice--"Your sins are forgiven you." And he releases her into a new life, a new identity. She is no longer a wreck of a woman, a sorry example of humanity destroyed within and without. She is one who loves much, for she has been forgiven much.
It comforts me to know that God has great patience and compassion toward us even when our emotions are raging out of control, when we're pushed beyond the point of acting "normally." I'm gladdened to know that this compassion is in Jesus, because I know that it will be extended to me, in hundreds of ways, throughout my life.
"And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
