• Day Twenty-Six: The Passion of the Christ

  I see people wearing crosses as jewelry. A means of torture has now become decoration. The meaning has often been forgotten.

• Day Twenty-Five: Here

  I love grateful people. I enjoy doing things for people like that. God loves grateful people too. We have so much to be grateful to God for, most of all that he sent his Son to redeem us from our slavery to sin. This gift was the apex of God’s redemptive plan. 

• Day Twenty-Four: Rebuild

  How could this barren, ashen landscape be the neighborhood where I played as a kid? How could this atmosphere of acrid charcoal ever be fragrant and familiar again?
