“Then enquired he of them the hour when he [his son] began to amend; they said unto him, ‘Yesterday the seventh hour the fever left him.’ Then the father knew, that it was the same hour in the which Jesus had said unto him, ‘Thy son lives;’ he believed, & all his household. This second miracle did Jesus again, after he […]

“The ruler said unto him [Jesus], ‘Sir, go down before my son die’. Jesus said unto him, ‘Go thy way, thy son lives’: and the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, ‘Thy son lives’” (John 4:49-51 [1587 Geneva Version]).  […]

“Then when the Samaritans were come unto him [Christ], they besought him, that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word. And they said unto the woman, ‘Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him our selves, and know that this […]

“Then they [disciples] went out of the city, and came unto him [Jesus]. In the meanwhile, the disciples prayed him, saying, ‘Master, eat.’ But he said unto them, ‘I have meat to eat that ye know not of’” (John 4:30-32 [1587 Geneva Version].  Father, Christ is the bread of life. No one may go to You except through Your Son. In Christ’s […]

My family and I struggled with the first year of celebrations, special days, and birthdays. Our granddaughters, daughter and my husband and I thought carefully of how to move through that year without our son, brother, and uncle. The loss of Joshua hit us hard, to say the least, but we were determined to work […]

“But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more a thirst: but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, You loved so deeply that You gave us this gift of Your […]

What if you were in the house when your child shot himself there? What if you held him as his heartbeat stilled? What if Satan said in your ear, “Now where is Your God?” This is a memoir about the loss of my son, Joshua, when he was twenty-five. It is an honest account of […]

“For he [Christ] whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giueth [gives] him not the Spirit by measure [immeasurable]” (John 3:34 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, Jesus has all at His request from You. He is denied nothing. Help us to better understand the power of You and Your Son as we pray. In Christ’s holy name […]

“Then there arose a question between John’s disciples and the Jews, about purifying. And they came unto John, and said unto him, ‘Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jorden, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptizes, and all men come to him’” (John 3:25, 26 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, some of us have heard […]

“John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized (for John had not yet been put in prison)” (John 3:23, 24 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, You make it plain here that when one is baptized it is a dunking into the water. Thank You for […]
