Mrs. Zebedee

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on May 10, 2020

“Mrs. Zebedee,” the mother of James and John, gets a bad rap for her request to Jesus for places in the kingdom on the right and left hand of Jesus. Actually, there are some good qualities for mothers on Mother’s Day to emulate.

The Successful Failure Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Peter was the greatest failure in his abusive power. And yet we see that he not only survives, but he does so quite successfully. He is able to stay on top as the leader of the 12. He does everything wrong, and still comes out a winner.

Just ask the three astronauts of that ill fated flight. It was 1970, and they were on their way to the moon when an ...read more
