So, what is an "evil eye?" 

First, you'll have to understand what it was like when my mother was growing up in the depths of the Great Depression.

We have to keep going to God, day and night, day after day and year after year.  Without losing heart.

Have you ever wondered what those people were doing during those 40 days?

Even if we've gotten ourselves to a place we regret, like Lot did, that's not the end!  There is deliverance, for us no less than Noah and Lot.

There isn't any part of our life that we can afford to have disconnected from the hub. 

Life may not be perfect but you and I have so much to be joyful about.

Sometimes simply belonging to each other is enough. What matters most is not the struggle but where we find our peace. Home is where we belong and where we feel safe.

People are so stupid.  And being people ourselves, hopefully we’re not blind to the fact that we’re included. Thankfully, the condition is not incurable. 

"Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?"

We make Jesus angry when we are unforgiving.

So, it’s good, as Paul did, to make plans to get together—even if it involves traveling long distances to do so.  And good to pray for God’s blessing on the plans we make.
