Posted on September 22, 2026 by Pete

“Woman, Behold Your Son” (2018 Rerun)

Posted on December 16, 2025 by Pete

It’s an annual experience. As best I can recall, the two words, “standing nearby”, have almost always jumped off the page when I’ve worked my way through this day’s reading plan. From the cross, Jesus saw His mother standing nearby. … Continue reading →

Seeing the Glory of God

Posted on November 13, 2024 by Pete

Met with a friend yesterday, her world kind of rocked by the election results last week. For her, character mattered — like really mattered! And so, it’s taking a bit for her to work through how character seemingly didn’t matter … Continue reading →

Posted on November 8, 2024 by Pete
