He Chose the Nails by Max Lucado (Dust Jacket)
Much has been said about the gift of the cross itself, but what of the other gifts? What of the nails, the crown of thorns? What about the garment taken? What about the garments given? Have you taken the time to open these gifts?

There was a girl that grew up in Jerusalem. One day, she and her father went shopping in the marketplace. She was holding tight to her daddy’s hand. Well, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a shiny, new baby doll. She longed for it so bad. She let her Father’s hand slip out

THE MONUMENT
I never dreamed it would be me
My name for all eternity
Recorded here at this hallowed place
Alas, my name, no more my face.

Prior to his death, Roman Catholic Priest Henri Nouwen articulated, I believe, the struggle for many of us who are responsible to lead and serve in God’s Church. One voice says to succeed and achieve. It is the voice Nouwen says he spent most of his life heeding. He taught at Notre Dame,
