“Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, ‘What are we to do? For this man performs many signs’” […]

When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out.’ The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let him go’” (John 11: 43, 44 English Standard Version). What an amazing miracle […]

“Jesus said to her [Martha], ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?’ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, ‘Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of […]

Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, ‘Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you […]

“Jesus wept. So the Jews said, ‘See how he loved him!’ But some of them said, ‘Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying’” (John 11:35-37 English Standard Version)? We understand that Jesus had a purpose for allowing his friend Lazarus to die. Thank You, […]

“Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled. And […]

“When she [Martha] had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, ‘The Teacher is here and is calling for you.’ And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him” […]

“‘And everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?’ She [Martha] said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world’” (John 11:26, 27 English Standard Version). Oh, Lord, to have this faith is what can save us from […]

My newest book on the topic of hope after suicide loss is up on Amazon. This book has recipes that were Joshua’s favorites, my poems, and a tribute to Joshua by several of his past high school friends, “The Crew”. I’ve kept the price of this book lower, so anyone may be able to afford […]

“Martha said to him [Jesus], ‘I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.’ Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live’” (11:24, 25 English Standard Version). Thank You for loving us so much that You came down from heaven […]
