This is a first person, as if, rendition of the New Covenant book of Mark from a perspective, a view not The View, but a view of the Unseen Substance of our most precious Faith. It's viewpoint is through Jesus' eyes because where the Holy Spirit is Lord, there is Liberty; and so I take the Liberty to let His Word dwell richly in me and flow through me as through the bed of a stream in a land of milk and honey, in a land of grain and new wine, the...

It is so easy to externalise the events leading up to and including the death and resurrection of Jesus but fail to internalise them by seeing ourselves as part of the story.
These Easter Reflections are intended to help the reader see something of himself/herself through...

Special dedication to Lamont Bershawn
I don't know what I've done in my life to be so blessed. I had a brother named Daniel, when I was forty years old he passed. I met a man named Thomas and a man named Lamont. I didn't know when I met them they'd become my new brothers. I never had a younger brother and I never knew what it would feel like to have a healthy older and younger brother. For my brother Daniel had been sick his entire life.

I'm really a morning person, if left to my own devices. When I'm involved with someone (when I was married or when I'm dating someone) that schedule gets pushed to the back. For one thing, I seem to pick night owls. But for another, it is hard to find one-on-one time before kids are in bed, which means staying up. But when I am left on my own, I tend to go to bed at the same time as the kids - 9 or 9:30, read for maybe 30 minutes and then crash. That...

In a 1987 commencement address at Duke University, broadcast journalist and news anchor Ted Koppel entertained the audience with his observation about the Ten Commandments: "What Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai were not the Ten Suggestions. They are commandments." Unfortunately Mr. Koppel was wrong on both counts. In the Hebrew text, the translation is properly "words" or "sayings" rather than "laws" or "commandments." This part of the sacred text...
