Mark 20:46-52 is the record of a blind man who called, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” Having Bartimaeus brought to Him, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, that I might receive my sight.” This question has been resurfacing in my...
Which is the True Image?
When I saw the picture on the right posted as “The Best Image of Eclipse 2017” on Facebook Wednesday, I was impressed. When I went back to share it on Thursday, it was no longer there. When I searched Google, I understood why. Neither of these are a true image of the...
Three Hours of Darkness
For a few hours Monday, there was unity in America, as all people with special glasses were gazing at the eclipse. There were exclamations of wonder and awe. Others were disappointed, expecting more than they saw. We have read only a few articles about the experience....

Christ in the Heart of a Caregiver
