Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” -Mark 4:38, NIV “Don’t you care?!” Tomorrow, I am preaching from this passage.

Gift of music
Lately, I’ve been digging on “I’m a Song” by Stephen Wilson Jr. It speaks about the power of music to bring healing. May this music bring cathartic healing to you as well!
A powerful worship song
“Holy” by Jesus Culture is a favorite worship song of mine. I feel ushered into the Inner Throne Room of God as I listen to this song.

“I miss your cooking.”
“I miss your cooking,” says Cheater who claims you’ve done nothing to contribute to the family ever. Cheaters often seek “justifications” to discard you.

Requiring You To Follow Their Advice
“You need to do this, or you wife will never come back,” says “friend.” I recently came across a video short on my phone.
