Why does Jesus do the miracle of turning water into wine? Could it be something more than just to keep the party going? Check out the latest post: Jesus in Conversation - His Mom
Jesus in Conversation - His Mom
Moms and sons have a special kind of dynamic. I know that my mom and I can communicate with a look. We have inside jokes and so much shared history that sometimes we don’t even need to say anything.
As I watch my own son and my wife, the same dynamic exists. They have an uncanny ability to simply understand one another. It’s almost like they can read one another’s minds at times.
Of course, there’s also the reality that sons are male and we often fail miserably at reading our mom’s minds. But, just like that special #girldad bond there is a #boymom bond that is unique too.

Once again, Bonhoeffer challenges us in a timely way.
Entirely too many of my colleagues are not submitting themselves to the way of the cross but to their own passions.
Oh that I (we) would learn this lesson well.
