God has given each of us gifts to make a difference in the lives of others. Some in one or two but others in many people’s lives. Peter was a fisherman, and the experts today are unsure if he could write, but as a young Jew, he most likely had to learn the Torah by […]
Read moreI received this beautiful story from Anne (not her real name): This is a story of a small candle carried by a man as he climbed the stairs to the lighthouse. On the way up, the candle asked the man: “Where are we going?” “We are on our way to the lighthouse to give signals […]
Read moreI was thinking about gifts. I’ve written and spoken so much about it, and yet I’ve completely missed one major truth about gifts. Okay, we know we’ve all received a set of gifts. But why was it given to us? What was God’s idea when He decided that all people who are created must have […]
