1a retelling of John 21: 15-17 When they had finished eating, Jesus asked Peter, “Simon, would you die for me as I died for you?” Lord, I would give you anything you ask for.” Jesus said, “Share my Way.” A little later, Jesus asked, “Simon, would you stand in harm’s way for me?” “Lord, youContinue reading “Do You Love Me?”

Sometimes someone goes unrecognized despite wondrous works. Concealed by who people want to see, disguised by who theyContinue reading “Signature Move”

I take the CupContinue reading “A Good Friday Prayer”
