Apostle-itis

I doubt. I can be impulsive. I am dearly loved. I have lied. I fish for people. I wanna be first. I deny Him. No, this doesn't tackle all of the apostles, but you get the idea. I am one of them. I suffer from what they suffer. Humanity. I think, the next time I act all aghast that Thomas doubted, or frankly, that Judas betrayed Jesus, I may have to remove the thermometer of judgement from their mouths and place it under my own tongue.

Repeating Proverbs

With the risk of seeming like I phoned it in . . . while I mulled over some of the verses in Proverbs that hit me the hardest in order to share something new with you this morning, I was struck by a few things: 1. We have now been writing at Daily Fast Fuel for over a year! 2. Sometimes, we need something repeated for it to really make an impact. Thus, while it may seem like "left-overs" (oh, I just love our foodie theme!), I felt compelled to share my VERY FIRST POST from when Daily Fast Fuel [...]
