Daily Bread- Let Honor Meet Honor May 29, 2017I’ve always been impressed by the solemn, magnificent simplicity of the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.

- Not One Sparrow May 28, 2017My mother, so dignified and proper her entire life, now lay in a hospice bed, held captive by debilitating age.

Within weeks, however, his world began to fall apart. His daughter was admitted to the hospital with a chest infection, his business partner refused to pay him, and his wife asked for some time apart. He looked drai […]Ruth O'Reilly-Smith
- Together Forever May 27, 2017A Chinese translator told a visiting theologian that her Buddhist parents admired the teachings of Jesus, but they were offended by the idea that someone had to believe in Him to be saved. They worried that their Christian daughter now believed her ancestors were in hell. The translator said, “Revering my ancestors means much to me, and I want to assure my p […]Mike Wittmer
