Welcome to the first installment of Kat's new, semi-regular, short video series "A Funny Thing Happened".

Remember when... With everything going on, I know Kat's feeling nostalgic for simpler times like these, when her biggest problem was choosing the right design for her English textbook. How about you?

Rest. Often needed but sometimes ignored. Do you find it hard to take a break? Hope this helps you realize you can be blessed with rest.

What do you think? We take so much for granted and put faith in things and situations that can change in a minute. But we won't take a chance and put our faith in the Lord of all creation. Faith in Jesus isn't a crutch. It's the cross where Kat's life was saved, her heart was rescued, her fear was laid down, her soul found rest. Please put your faith in Him today. He loves you.

What do you think? When those who championed A.I. are now fighting to stop it, should we be worried? Will we look back one day and wonder how we ever got along without it? Or will we be in some post-apocalyptic dystopia living underground dodging terminators? With everything going on right now, should we even care about it? Thanks for stopping by.

Power in prayer. On this #nationaldayofprayer let us stop scrolling and swiping. Let us take a moment to seek the Lord. Let us be humble and ask for His forgiveness. Let us thank Him for sending His Son Jesus to save us. Let us thank Him for His grace, mercy and love. Let us ask Him for help to heal. Let us pray.

Unity. With so much effort being put in by so many to separate us and keep us apart, is there still hope for unity, peace, harmony? Why is there such a push to keep us broken up into warring groups? Is it possible to find common ground anymore? Thanks for stopping by. Link to full article is below.

Wisdom starts with fearing the Lord. This is an awesome, reverential fear. It's not being scared of him as if he's out to get you or punish you. He loves you. This fear is about living your life in awe and wonder of how the Creator of all the universe cares for you. This means giving him the honor and respect he is due. This means knowing how mighty and powerful he is and not taking anything for granted. This means not abusing his grace and mercy toward us that we neither earned nor deserve. To live well, to make change, to truly be blessed: Fear God.

Hierarchy vs hypocrisy. You don't have to be part of a hierarchy to be a hypocrite, but it sure helps. How did Jesus handle hypocrites? How did the hierarchy of his time react? What was his world changing response? Whether you celebrate Easter or not, the story of one man humbling himself and sacrificing his own life for others is a powerful, rare one.
