Recently, an acquaintance asked me some getting-to-know-you-better questions. Concerning writing, he asked, “What big projects have you done?” Two points for a question nobody’s asked before. It was specific and would have given him an insightful information except for the fact that he was talking to me. I know he was either making small talk or […]
Introvert Jesus
I don’t know if Jesus is an introvert or an extrovert. If anything, He might be both, but it doesn’t matter. I know that He is God and cannot be categorized. He doesn’t fall into any personality spectrum. He is both simple in that He simply loves us, and complicated in that we cannot fathom […]
A Different Relationship

Quiet Passion: the Word

The Passion of Jesus
When Jesus was 12 years old, He stayed behind in Jerusalem without His parents’ knowledge while they traveled back to Nazareth after the Passover celebration (Luke 2:41-52). When Mary & Joseph realized Jesus was not travelling with them, their relatives, or their friends, they went back to Jerusalem searching for Him. Three days later, they […]
