Ferry crossing from Sydney NS to Port aux Basques, NL. Five hours often on rough seas. My experience one night of being on deck; longed for calm sea, better yet calm spirit so I could sleep. Through a hole in the clouds

Someone has said that the cross has become so ordinary that we hardly see it anymore. Isn’t that a deeply sad statement? Can you imagine a time when you could hardly be moved by the death sentence being passed on someone very near to you? Yet church members can act as if they no longer see the

Richard Kauffman says: "The cross has become a piece of jewellery, a beautiful decoration in a church, a symbol of faith. It is difficult for us to pass back through the centuries of tradition to see crucifixion as a form of capital punishment so horrible that polite people would not so much as

So... without Jesus I can't do anything? Now, that doesn’t mean you and I can’t do things that might be impressive.

Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts.
