to see spring

Spring has sprung, sure...but not so fast! 

There is nothing more tentative than Spring in Central Texas. 

It slides into our calendar on dotted lines, sometimes as early as January. 

February and March are littered with reminders that we need all manner of clothing handy at a moments notice. 

Then there is the lull of April, some rain, some sun , a string of very warm muggy days and away go the heavy coats and long pants , hello shorts, and tank tops. 

As usual there needs to be one more reminder that we are never certain. A possible freeze the week before Easter, and a very late Easter at that...

To believe in miracles

Jesus said tell no one until the Son of Man rises from the dead....he was speaking less of the calendar and more of our hearts. If we do not carry the miraculous story of our risen savior in our hearts than we cannot speak about him.

Philip Morrison shared in his Encouraging Words.... Do You Believe in Miracles?

The life that began with a miracle and ended with a miracle became a ministry filled with miracles. From turning water into wine at Cana in Galilee, to several miracles of healing the sick, to the feeding of 5,000, then of 4,000, to walking on the water, to cleansing ten lepers, to raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus’ ministry was filled with miracles. Though some scholars count forty miracles, most agree that Jesus performed thirty-seven miracles or approximately one per month for the three years of his ministry. All the miracles were impressive to those who witnessed them, but sometimes explained away by those who only heard about them.

Lord I do believe, help my unbelief.
