    Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). John 20:16 Such a tender scene. A group of women, including Mary Magdalene, went to the tomb where Jesus was buried. When they arrived, the stone was rolled away from the front of the tomb and Jesus’s body was gone. Understandably, the women were shocked and grieved because they didn’t know what had happened to his body. After… Read More

Even in our disobedience, God is with us and cares for… Read More

      Even though I walk through the darkest valley,  I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod  and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4   Dark valleys. We all walk through them. Sadness, fear, pain, anger...  Many commentators believe David wrote this psalm when he was young, perhaps when he was Saul's companion. How could a young man know about dark valleys? David drew on his experience as a shepherd to proclaim… Read More
