1. Foreword
Ever wonder why or how Mary was selected by God to bear the human nature of
Jesus? Mary was an ordinary woman in an unknown hamlet of Israel. Not much
education or status; definitely not a royalty although she was from the
bloodline of David. I believe that God was pleased by the humility of Mary.

tasks. People like ....

The Eternal King is Coming - Jesus' Birth Foretold
Luke was also concerned to contrast the attitudes of Zechariah, the embodiment
of the establishment, and Mary, the representative of the "Poor of Yahweh".
Zechariah's questioning had expressed his reluctance to believe. Mary's question
was purely for further information. Her response was one of total openness to
the will of God. ...

A Woman Wrapped in Silence - A Meditation for the Feast of the Annunciation
Yes, Mother Mary is a woman wrapped in silence. We know so little, for she is
reflective, quiet, saying little, silently standing by, silently supportive in
Jesus' publicly ministry. And now, again silently, she is at the foot of the
Cross. Yes this is the Mary, the mother that I know. A woman of faith but also
human being like you and me. ...

The Key to Understanding Mary - The Second Eve
We see three of the most important fathers of the second and third century
bearing witness to the implication of the Genesis 3:15 prophecy, that after
the woman of Genesis 3 there will come a second woman, a second Eve, who
will give birth to Christ while still a virgin. Thus Mary helps rectify what
Eve brought about. Eve brought sin and death into the world by her
relationship with the first Adam, from whom we inherit Original Sin, while
Mary brought helped bring holiness and life into the world by her
relationship to the Second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ. ...

Recipe: Autumn Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup
I love to make soup on Sundays, especially when it's cold outside and my family
is curled up on the sofa watching football. There's something so relaxing about
it - clearing out the produce drawer, slow-cooking onions in butter, stirring a
big pot as it simmers on the stove - and it makes the house smell so inviting!
This savory soup with a hint of sweetness and spice is one of my new favorites.

Paris Massacre - When Terror Strikes - How Do We Deal With The Fear?
The darker this world gets, the brighter our light shines. Hang on to God, my
friends. He is our hope.
The LORD is my light and my salvation - so why should I be afraid? The LORD is
my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? When evil

and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even
if I am attacked, I will remain confident. ...
