    Unsplash.com Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.  Matthew 5:5 Blessed (loved and favored by God) are the meek (those who are gentle, not from a position of weakness, but from a position of power) for they shall inherit (receive by right of inheritance) the earth (the whole earth under God's dominion).  Meek...society defines this word as submissive, compliant, servile, weak.

    Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.  Matthew 5:4 Blessed - that beautiful word again. Loved and favored by God. And, again, it seems to be a contradiction, doesn't it?

  • What’s Wrong With Me?

    I ran into walls. Over time, it got worse. Imagine the look on a complete stranger’s face when I run into them with my grocery cart. Maybe I should yell, “Coming through!” when I start down an aisle. I did what any self-respecting person would do: I ignored it. Life became a challenge. Corners were particularly difficult and I was decorated with bruises to prove it. If I stood still for long, I slowly fell… Read More
