"I think Jesus's 'all' is bigger than big. It's bigger than the whole universe, like His love. It's like it stands for All Living Love. Get it? A.L.L. What if everybody did that - if we All Lived Love? Wow, amazing, huh?" - Karla, 8 years old, as she stood with a classmate who was being made fun of
Got 2 hours sleep, pain worse, now all the way to my ankle. Glad I got a little sleep.
Prayers appreciated - in hospital This morning the emergency brake on my jeep failed and it ran over my left leg, also twisted my right leg. No broken bones, but I can't stand without excruciating pain. Ambulance ride to hospital in Indy, been in the ER since then. Still waiting for mri results.
"This whole 'gotta have the 10 commandments in school' thing...chaplain, I like your idea better - what you called Jesus's 'be-attitudes'. I can just see their faces now. And if they'd...well,..... if we'd ALL, follow THOSE Bible words... then we'd be Jesus people like we say we are."- HS student
"Mama, at school today, we learned that 'mas' means 'more, and I get it now. 'Christ-mas' really means Christ-MORE'. That's really cool, so why don't people get that?" - 4th grader
"I think Thanksgiving is when we ask God to update and reboot our thanks-GIVING program so we can share God's love even better, 'cause it's important to stay in tune with God's love and keep growing its bandwidth." - young teen's answer to question about what apps are most vital to keep up to date
Grace - G.R.A.C.E. = God's Radically Amazing Constantly Enveloping...LOVE!!
@seermber.bsky.social I see you have followed me. Where do I know you from?
"Love is my grandma when she talks about Jesus. She acts like Him too. I wanna be like her." - child in after school program
"Joy, real joy, is....being high on the Holy Spirit, not the human made kind of spirits. Real joy lasts forever. The human made kind is real tricky. No joy there, but it'll get you to forever quicker than you realize. I'll take the real joy, and I should know." - man at his first AA meeting
(Part 2 of 2) "He said, 'Thank you for letting me see God in your eyes, because then I know that no matter what, I'm going to be OK.' And you know, he gave me enough joy to last a long time. Thanks for asking." - nurse in hospital surgery prep area
(Part 1 of 2) "Joy is... wow...It just happened to me. I have a patient, no one comes to see him. No one. He's not doing too well either. Know what he just told me?" ..... (continued in next post)...

"Joy is....well, believe it or not, I've got it. Right now. I can just see it - it's Roy dancing with the baby we lost so many years ago. It's him eating with Jesus at His huge table where everyone's included. That's Joy. Indeed it is." - woman, tears rolling down her face, at her husband's funeral
"Joy is....well, it's like a never-ending, deep down potluck of happy. It's a God thing, and with Jesus, it never runs out." - child waiting for a meal at a community meal program
