Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31: We were not put on this earth alone. Frankly, others have to live with us, and our own practice of open-minded, fill-me-up humility can make it a much more interesting and pleasant experience for all of us.

Proverbs 31:10-31 Mothers, women demonstrate the presence of God in our homes and in our lives because their presence brings warmth and comfort by just being there and doing the little things that the family tends to take for granted.

John 14:27

John 14:15-21

Matthew 5:1-2

Mark 4:26-34 All of us are in the process of writing our own gospels -- our own accounts of experiencing the Good News of the coming kingdom in our midst. Writing a gospel through the very act of living is part of being a disciple of Christ. It is why Jesus gave the power of the parable to all those listening to his words. Storytelling is one of the most basic practices common to all human communities. Stories connect us to one another, to our ancestors, to our world, and to our God.

Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 Following God's lead may indeed bring you to a new point on the map, but it will more likely lead you to shift more in your relationship with God and move toward new understanding and growth, changing your heart and mind toward God's direction in the process. It starts with a first step, not with a particular destination laid out. Faith is an open-ended ticket, an invitation, an adventure that starts but never ends — even when you do!

Matthew 28:1-10

Matthew 28:1-10

Matthew 27:15-26 A committed faith takes the good with the bad. Knowing that all we are ever promised is that in the midst of both our good and bad, Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us. He will stand with us.
