Eclipse of the SON
Have you ever had a dream that was so “real” and life-like that it just stuck with you? Well, I had one of those dreams one morning right before I awoke from sleep. It was a dream about a solar eclipse. When I woke up I was able to immediately attach a meaning to the...
Hide and Seek
When my kids were preschool age they liked for me to play “Hide and Seek” with them in our home. It was always a challenge for me to find a hiding place that could conceal all 6 feet 3 inches of my frame. One particular day I remember cleverly concealing myself behind...

When Jesus heard that his friend Lazarus was sick he delayed going to him, and said to his disciples, “This sickness will not end in death….” If you know the story, however, you remember that Lazarus did actually die from his sickness and Jesus had to go and raise him...
