  • Summer

    Awwww summer….you have finally arrived. And you’ve brought your barbeques and swim parties and sunburns and Thursday night markets and walks to the creek and fruit salads and cold showers and 100 degree highs and 80 degree lows with you.

    Although the heat can be uncomfortable at times, summers in Chico are certainly one-of-a-kind.

  • Word of the Day

    And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

    Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” - Mark 1:40-41 (emphasis mine)

    The man with leprosy had no doubt in Jesus’ ability to heal him, but his willingness.

    I can just see Jesus’ face after the man says, “If you are willing…” Jesus gently shakes his head in disbelief, reaches out to grab the man’s shoulders, looks him square in the eyes as tears fill his own and says, “I am willing. Of course I am willing! You are my child! You are my creation! I love you more than you will ever understand! I have come to this earth and taken this body only to die for you! Of course I am willing. Be cleansed!” So beautiful!

    I pray for a new helping of faith today. Not only to believe in God’s abilities, but in his willingness. I may feel unworthy of His love and blessings and grace and healing, but through Christ I am made worthy - and God is willing.
