Looking in the Window: Finding, Accepting the Love of Jesus

 Of all of the types of love—love of child, love of husband, father, mother, friend and on and on—Jesus’s unconditional love reigns.  He loved each of us so much He suffered and died for our sins to guarantee our salvation.  Photo courtesy of Pixabay If we believe in Him and accept His gift, someday we’ll live with Him in Heaven where there’s no sorrow, pain or any frustrations of this world.  Jesus’ Gospel of Love resounds like a clanging symbol to all who seek it. Here it is in a nutshell: “Trying to test Jesus, a Pharisee asked him “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22: 34 – 40 But where do we get love? So far, no scientists have been unable to create it. We can’t buy i...

Looking in the Window: Ouch! A Broken Arm. Encouragement

 I've missed connecting with my blogging friends. Its been too long, but typing is difficult with a broken arm. Six weeks into the journey, I'm improving. With prayers and therapy, soon I'll be doing as the video says. Because of the break. Becasue my son-in-law knows I like Elvis, he sent the following.  Interesting facts about the break:  My ambulance driver was a former NASCAR driver. I was in qualified hands. A week later as I waited to check out from the doctor's office, I and everyone else had to evacuate the building due to a fire. It was apparently a small one and contained quickly, even though quite a crowd formed outdoors. The next day the receptionist on duty didn't know there had been a fire, and  all was well.   While I'm editing my next book with one finger, check out the Christian Suspense Discipleship Series Books. Each one can be a stand-alone, even though it's more fun to read all three. About Hidden Danger, Christian Romantic Suspense Dis...
