Forgiven

Forgiven little? Loving little.

Simon invites Jesus to a meal in his home. Holding Him at arm’s length. Studying the Master.

And in the midst of critical scrutiny, he foregoes the most basic act of hospitality.

Devotional Memoir

True love

It was a last-minute wedding. An unforgettable event. Singing about true love. And walking through the unexpected. 

 The love song put me and my guitar there that day. In the old sanctuary with its stained glass windows and antique pews. 

The church secretary had called a few days before.

A young couple was engaged to be married. The young man had just received military orders and would be shipped out the following week. So they’d decided to get married that weekend. Would I sing?
