Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not do the things that I say? Luke 6:46

So… According to the record in John, what does our Lord say to do?

Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!

unless one is born again, he cannot...

A Fathers Gift

Harold Hugh Ritchie was born June 1932 in Port Arthur, Texas. There wasn’t anything particularly grand about his birth or place where he was born. He grew up in the shadow of an older sister like any boy, rough and tumble. His father worked for a furniture store at that time but soon began to work for “The Texas Company” (as grandad used to call it) which became Texaco. Due to Lillian’s health (Harold’s mother) they moved to Long Beach, California. But she passed away not long after arriving. Things quickly changed with the addition of a stepmother and stepbrother. Harold grew up in Southern California playing football, softball, riding motorcycles and working at a Japanese Nursery.

What’s going on with Willard, you say…

Over the weeks following Willard’s job change, Elise found herself thinking more about her own life and choices. Watching him act quietly, deliberately, and faithfully—even when it cost him—had left a mark she could no longer ignore.

One Sunday morning, she arrived at the church earlier than usual like she had done a while back. The sunlight still streamed through the windows, the pews gleaming softly, and again, she felt a real pause settle over her. She opened her notebook and wrote down what had been on her mind for months: questions, fears, regrets, and hopes.
