Things about my personal faith in Jesus Christ
Me and CAR-T
As some readers will know I’m about to get CAR-T therapy for the lymphoma cancer. In short, this involved extracting some of my T-cells, genetically modifying them into CAR-T cells, growing more of these special cells and infusing the new CAR-T cells back into my body. Yeah, that’s right I’ll be genetically re-engineered and there Read More …
Shalom, Shalom
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Origin: Hard to say… It’s likely you’ve heard that saying and this morning it came to mind as I was listening to a podcast and riding the bike in the basement on the trainer. So, who is “the student”? Well, that’s likely to be you and Read More …
Where does my help come from?
Many years ago my mom shared some of her experiences as she returned home from Montreal in September of 1961 after attending the funeral of her brother Ken, age 37. Mom recounted how on the drive home this verse helped her deal with the tragedy of Ken dying at such a young age. I lift Read More …

Before we know it we’re trapped in the chaos of day to day life and panic takes over. Yet Christ came to be our peace. Everything—our hopes, worries, fears, doubts, Read More …
Hope
Our hope is in a Person, not in an event. So though we might experience disappointment and setbacks, our hope is not defined by that, but by the word of God. Hope can be a quiet confidence, while we are waiting, while we take one step after another. “I wait for the Lord, my whole Read More …
The King is Coming
Every morning in this advent season when I come to reading this devotion just looking at the title image brings me joy. It just resonates on so many levels. Historically, the coming of king Jesus as a baby, presently as the king comes to people who accept him, and prophetically as the future second coming Read More …
The Truth is a Person
Pulled this from a Rick Warren devotional that really spoke to me today. I had this revelation about a week ago regarding Jesus as The Truth, so today this just drove it home more. We know God’s Truth: Jesus Christ Truth is not a principle. Truth is a person; truth is Jesus Christ. One of Read More …
