Taking a break from all social media. Don’t know how long it will last. Maybe 30 days, maybe forever. In the meantime...
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Wouldn’t it be great if one of our biggest problems as Christians was having so much happiness in God that people couldn’t understand it? “But the righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence; they are happy and shout for joy” (Psalm 68:3, GNT). epm.org/happiness
Finishing Sunday’s sermon @VUMC_Cancer while another infusion drips through my veins. Grateful for these wonderful people. Lord, fill every room with hope and peace.
A simple reading of Jesus’ birth story reveals that God’s ways aren’t our ways. If I were writing a book and the moment came for the deity/hero to arrive, there’s no way I’d do it like this! God’s stories are always better.

No one "gets" Jesus or gets to Jesus without some help. Mary had an angelic encounter. Joseph had a dream. The Magi had a star. The shepherds had an angelic chorus. Simeon had the Spirit. Who or what helped you?
3 Things God wants you to know:
1. He longs for you more than you long for Him.
2. With Him, you lack nothing; He can give even more than you ask.
3. One day there will be no more tears, only rejoicing. Let this hope anchor your soul.

At the @VUMC_Cancer getting an infusion of magnesium today. A nurse brought a therapy dog by to see the patients. What a beautiful, well-trained dog. Trying to imagine the effect my dog, Bruno, would have on these folks. He would turn the place upside down.

The Christmas story: the One who deserved to be loved and worshipped, was willing to be reviled and rejected, so that we, deserving rejection, would be forever loved and accepted by the Father.
“Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction.” John Owen
This is disturbing to say the least. My alma mater, Lipscomb, invited her to speak and so did Pepperdine at their annual Bible Lectures. I just don’t get it. It’s a crude, heretical, toxic message to young, deeply impressionable people.
