“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 […]

“So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you’” (John 11:20-22 English Standard Version). This is […]

“‘And for your sake I am glad that I [Jesus] was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.’ So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him’” (John 11:15, 16 English Standard Version).  We understand, Father, that Jesus was preparing […]

“The disciples said to him, ‘Lord, if he [Lazarus] has fallen asleep, he will recover.’ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep. Then Jesus told them plainly, ‘Lazarus has died’” (John 11:12-14 English Standard Version).  Lord, You are so Perfect, Good, and Holy, that we can barely take it in. […]

“Jesus answered, ‘are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.’ After saying these things, he said to them [disciples], ‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, […]

“But when Jesus heard it he said, ‘This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus” (John 11:4, 5 English Standard Version). Jesus loves us, also. Thank You, holy Lord, for giving Jesus […]
