Two very handsome and differently-styled musicians, Michael and Michael.

Two MS’s.

Although we’re somewhat different musically, we’ve known each other for a very long time and we’re connected spiritually.

I don’t see Michael W. Smith very often but when I do, it’s great🙏

So good to see you my friend🙏

May you reflect on Christ this Good Friday.

4/5: It's an excellent book to scroll through. It depicts photos from the film finalizing the 12 hours before Jesus's death. A few photos depicting the filming of the movie conclude this table-side book. Director Mel Gibson provides a personal genuine foreward. Scripture references coinciding with t...

Sometimes it only needs to be this simple...

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”

The greatest attribute you can indeed give is love, at Christmastime - and beyond.

This Christmas season, may joy be something you seek and let stay.

🕯️ Advent Week 3 Joy

The third week of Advent is also known as Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete is a Latin term that simply means “rejoice”. It is a time of rejoicing and celebrating the coming of Jesus Christ.

The third candle of the Advent wreath, also known as the Shepherd’s Candle, represents joy. It is called the Shepherd’s Candle to highlight the joy the shepherds experienced when they received the good news about Christ’s birth (Luke 2:8-20). It is often pink or rose-colored, while the other three candles are purple. Pink is associated with the spontaneous and celebratory nature of joy. This candle stands out from the other in that it’s more celebratory than contemplative as the others are.

Epictetus, a Greek philosopher who lived in the first century AD once said: “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters”

This quote is often used to emphasize the importance of our attitude and mindset in dealing with life’s challenges. It suggests that we should focus on our response to a situation rather than the situation itself. In other words, we should try to control our reactions to events, rather than trying to control the events themselves.

This idea is also supported by modern psychology. According to Dr. Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom”.

So, it’s important to remember that while we may not be able to control what happens to us, we can always control how we respond to it. By focusing on our response, we can develop a more positive attitude and mindset, which can help us deal with life’s challenges in a more effective way.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”
