Great Expectations, and a Promise!

If I didn’t know better, I’d think my forsythia was doomed to die soon! The leaves are going dark and falling to the ground. The cold, dark winter lies before us.

Great Expectation #3

Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11

Who knew there was so much to ponder in one simple little verse of the Bible?

Great Expectation #2

My forsythia follows a pattern each year, and I know what to expect from it. Soon the branches will be bare as the leaves float to the earth below.

Just as I know what to expect from my forsythia bushes, there are things we should expect to see in the lives of those who follow Christ. That’s what this discussion is about!
