My Personal Blog
Thanks for stopping by my personal blog page where you will find all of the blog segments that have been published.
Please note: they are in chronological order, with the latest one first and the first one (1.0) at the bottom or on a previous page. The numbers refer to the chapter of the source document from which my ideas arose.
18.3 — The Sword and the Ear
In the garden in John 18, Peter reacts the way many of us might. He pulls a sword and tries to stop what is happening. In the chaos that follows, a servant of the high priest loses his ear. But Jesus responds with words that shift the entire moment: “Put your sword into its sheath.” The story quietly invites us to consider a choice that still faces us today. When conflict rises, will we reach for the sword, or will we listen long enough to understand what is really unfolding?
18.1 — He Went Forth
After seventeen chapters of words, Jesus does something simple.
He walks.
“He went forth.” (John 18:1)
No thunder.
No spectacle.
Just a man choosing to move toward the valley.
Sometimes courage is not dramatic.
It’s simply taking the next faithful step when love requires it.
Have you had a Kidron moment?
