Do not be AFRAID!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Before there were green beer parties or little green people, or gaudy plastic hats -- there was the real St. Patrick. He was kidnapped as a teenager and forced into slavery, only to escape and become one of the legendary figures in Christian history. Here's a little more about the real St. Patrick. At the age of sixteen, Patrick was kidnapped from his home by Irish marauders and taken to Ireland, where he was sold as a slave to a chieftain and forced to herd livestock. After six years of slavery, Patrick escaped to Britain. Because he believed that God's hand was in it all, Patrick devoted his life to ministry. While studying for the priesthood, he experienced recurring dreams in which he heard voices say, “O holy youth, come back... and walk once more amongst us.” He convinced his superiors to let him return to Ireland in 432, not to seek revenge for injustice but to seek reconciliation and to spread his faith. Over the next thirty years, Patrick established churches and monastic communities across Ireland. When he was not engaged in the work of spreading the Christian faith, Patrick spent his time praying in his favorite places of solitude and retreat. This prayer is attributed to Patrick: Christ be with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. Amen. Thank you brother Patrick -- for your life. May we celebrate you well today.

God’s delay is not the same as God’s absence.

Know, then, in your heart that, as a parent disciplines a child, so the LORD your God disciplines you. Therefore keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him. Deuteronomy 8:5-6

Blessed to support my daughter as she played in an honor band concert for Westerville City Schools with my wife.

What do you need to hear from a sermon tomorrow?

How to make a homemade projector.

One thing I see in the story with the woman at the well is that Jesus names our reality without shaming our story.

Jesus isn’t offering convenience. He’s offering communion.

On this day 157 years ago, Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev made a formal presentation to the Russian Chemical Society, titled The Dependence between the Properties of the Atomic Weights of the Elements, thus creating the periodic table.

I’ll just leave this right here. 🥺

Hillary Clinton was asked: “Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this committee?" Her answer is amazing!

This shot from a nuclear submarine of jets ripping off a carrier deck might be the most epic thing you’ll see all week. 🔥🦅🇺🇸

God of the covenant, in the cross your Son embraced the power of death and broke its hold over your people. In this time of repentance, draw all people to yourself, that we who confess Jesus as Lord may put aside the deeds of death and accept the life of your kingdom. Amen.
