I am often struck by how small I think about Jesus. What about you?
Several weeks ago, I wrote the line, “Jesus is from eternity.” My son mentioned it to me and shared that it was one of the best descriptions of Jesus he had ever heard.
I keep thinking about that.
A century later, Christian teacher Origen challenged the Caesarean Christians of his time not to blur the powers. "For you who are redeemed by Christ... a physical sword has been removed from your hands... In its place the 'sword of the Spirit' has been given and you must seize it." For Origen, Christians are to fight the evil powers by means of *prayers and fasts, justice and piety, gentleness, chastity and all the virtues of self control."

The #OldGal scored a 5. It is disappointing but the streak lives and I am confident that Team #YoungPup will come out victorious!
Monday workouts are the most important for me.

If you’re into sermons, you can listen to my latest here: open.spotify.com/episode/0…
We gather as a congregation in our home each Sunday night. Last night, the tornado sirens went off and we had to pop down into the basement for our time around the Scriptures.
There was something kind of holy about the whole thing. I can’t quite explain it.
Good morning! May you see the world through love not fear today. #MorningMug
